Nottingham...
« on: November 01, 2006, 04:40:00 AM »
It's apparently well documented that the town of Nottingham (trans: Home of the Notts) was originally called Snottingham (Home of the Snotts).

The Normans apparently had difficulty pronouncing the letter S and decreed that the name of the town should be changed.

Similar measures however were fiercely resisted by the good people of Scunthorpe.

6/10 - but I have to ask: is this one of your own?
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?.

even this bad joke is funnier

A guy walks into a bar with jumper cables. The bartender says, "You can come in, but don't start anything!"

Umm... I don't get it.

Then again, I had to look up manpoon in the urban dictionary, so that shouldn't be surprising.

:p

Thanks but.... If it was Scuntingham I would get it, but the immediate laughter on that clip means I'm probably missing something.

Yeah, I was on the right track as well... at least I have that going for me given that I don't even get a simple joke about snot and cunts. :rolleyes: :)
