Continuing to lower the tone...

Now children, let's see if we can get all the pottymouth out of our systems in one go! This is a respectable and erudite blog, I'll have you know! After the lapse of good taste relating to - ahem - wanking yesterday, Laci the Chinese fluffything (link to left) draws my attention to the Austrian town of Fucking.



The sign above is proof of this curious fact, the sign below says 'please not so fast' - always good advice in the context I pause to comment without further elaboration. British tourists, you will be shocked to hear, keep stealing the sign thus obliging the good burghers of - erm - Fucking to fix it in concrete.



Local Police Chief the splendidly named Kommandant Schmitberger enquires testily 'It may be very amusing for you British but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is the big Fucking joke? It is simply puerile'.



Quite so.

I make the same pretenses about being a respectable and erudite blog.

BTW, Didn't George Osborne (ya know, the shadow chancellor) seem a bit Peter Cookish in his attempts to play amn MP? Or is that just me?

That is fucking amusing!

Hey! I know what that mean!!

This is both fun and educational... do we have to go back to respectable and erudite?

I've heard all sorts of cool things about Austria, and now I can tell the hub, "I want to visit FUCKING AUSTRIA!" and well, I donno, it seemed funnier in my head.
peace rabbit. pf

Another top class post from you! Keep these coming please. They cheer me (and anyone reading with a sense of humour) up enormously and are very informative too...

by the by, i meant, y'all made me snicker... xoxoxo

(i just finished reading an article on language, specifically english as it is spoken by americans...we sometimes tend to leave out small words and that tends to change the meaning of a sentence.) (i'll stop now, as i'm digging myself further and further into a grammatical hole.)

Laci - Quite so. Did you know that 'George' Osbore's real first name is Gideon? He has a sideline depositing Bibles in hotel bedrooms...

savvy - I only thought of the potential double meaning after your second posting ;)

JHL _ We do our fucking best :D

Little Flower - It's palinly the place to be. Get packing now!!!

Curious Black Cat - You smooth talker you! That merits a blogroll...

white rabbit said...

Little Flower - I meant plainly - is that a Freudian typo?

We pinched anything we could when we stayed at Condom in France.
