Bark From The Park, Top Toponyms!


Molly The Wally with her Olympic Glasses.

Mollys' top toponyms.


Excitement as the Scottish village of Dull prepares to twin with U.S. town of Boring. Residents of the village of Dull are hoping that an association with a town called Boring in Oregon, will boost tourism and lead to closer links between the two communities. The town of Tightwad in Missouri four years ago, founded the Tightwad bank for customers with a sense of humour. Suggested twin possibilities are Needmore, in the state of Arkansas or Hardup, in the state of Utah. In Germany you can find the village called Elend (misery) which could be twinned with Giggleswick in Yorkshire or Pity Me in Durham.  Also in Germany are the villages of Oberhaesslich (Upper Ugly) and Unterhaesslich (Lower Ugly). They could link up with Ugley in Essex. Bradford has the village of Idle which is home to 'Idle Working Mans’ Club. Suggestions from us include Great and Little Snoring in Norfolk. Lastly four for us doglets are, Bowlegs, in Oklahoma. Gnaw Bone located in Brown County Indiana, Crapo in Maryland and Fleatown in Ohio!

    Haha this is so funny! In france we have the town of Montcuq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montcuq) meaning "my ass" and Seyssins meaning "her breats", or even worse Cassanus meaning the "anus breaker"... There are more but writing them would make me uncomfortable...
