A VILLAGE BY ANY OTHER NAME.

   An Austrian village is being forced to bow to the power of the English language by changing its name

The people of  F- - -ing (pronounced Fooking) hadn't had a problem until pranksters began making fun of them.
Now the village is to vote on a switch and the 16th century version of the name - Fugging - is likely to be adopted.
Mayor Franz Meindl  confirmed his village street signs had regularly been stolen. The Mayor Say's, it's too much. The problem is we need all of the F---ing residents to agree to the name change for it to happen.
 Vest  is suggesting  a new marketing  scheme could bring  in lots of Dosh to the community if implemented.
At the moment tourists are being turned away from its news agency by being told "No we don't have any F---ing postcards.

Wally: There is one in Australia and It's Aborigine Translation is Canberra.There is only a slight difference in the spelling.
Instead of F---ing in Austria, we have a F---up in Canberra. OZ.

Yesterday withdrew cash from St George Bank in The beautiful seaside town of Budgewoi.Just before leaving I said to the teller "Have a nice St Georges day" "Huh" she replied.I then filled her in on the patron saints of the Brit Isles. Like Davo, Pat, George and Andy with dates to fit.
A bloke in shorts Say's 'Wots the Aussie Saints name then pommy git". sez I,"Why it could be you St Asshole".

Ldl: maybe it is Saint Denys.
I was once informed that Sydney was a derivation of St Denys.
Taking a quick squiz, looks likely.
But then other states would complain, names such as Queensland's own saint, St Joe Bonkers Bananas.

The Last Post

I am sorry to say this blog will soon have its final post, this post may be my last.  I would like to say "Thank You" to all of you nice people with whom I have been in blog contact over the past sixteen years. Unfortunately, my health issues have become worse over the past two weeks, my mobility is at its lowest point; and I become dizzy after a couple of paces, I am using oxygen permanently. It feels like I  am falling apart; I have Kidney - Heart - Lung and Bladder problems, plus many other add ons to stir the mix. I am still living? at home, where I have a comfortable environment and the necessary assistance,. I do not sleep well; probably due to loss of body activity.  My eldest son Christopher will be the person to inform you of my final time on earth.  I need to lay down for a while right now. My best wishes to you all. Vest Daily Gaggle, AKA.  Leslie John Bowyer.

In future ALL posts on this Site will have a section to be known as 'OPEN FORUM. this is to be introduced as from now and a reminder of this promulgated at each time a new post arrives. Open Forum comments are not restricted to the current post, however, it would be advisable not to retro too far into the archives. When referring to comments in archives, you will be advised to mention the post and it's date. Open forum comments Shall Not relate to the current posts, and must be headed 'Open Forum. Open talk opens the way to further talk, as does wine or love, and a little bit of gossip is good for the soul, another good thing about gossip is that it is within every ones reach. The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
