    There is a creek somewhere on the new England tablelands called "Three Legs O Man Creek"

    and a lookout in Queensland called Whodathoughtofthat !!! all one word.

    One of the funnyest signs I ever saw was one out near Boonah that simply states
    "THIS IS NOT THE ROAD TO NSW"

    I had a pakistani guy in my team called faraz harkeem. we had a similar user name policy, so he got fharkeem

    I also used to deal with a frank lea and anita ho.
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Years back in England, I knew a bloke called Horace Morris. He met and married a lovely girl. Unfortunately her name was Doris .... and they lived in Norris Green ... - I'd have moved if it was me.

    We all gave them a heap of suggestions for names when she was expecting their first. For some reason, the happy couple ignored all the helpful advice and chose to call the little lad John.

    We had a bloke in the rowing club. His name was Rob Head. No problem, right? Except that every time we entered a regatta, his name would be submitted, incorrectly, as Richard Head. This was doubly unfortunate because it meant not only that he was listed in printed regatta programmes as Richard Head but also, because we were quite successful and won a lot of trophies, his name (Richard Head, that is) has been preserved for posterity in the annals of English rowing and, in some cases, on the rather elaborate silver trophies that we were awarded.

    He used to get quite upset about all this but he eventually got used to it. Needless to say, he was and, as far as I know, still is known universally as Dick.

    The North Eastern Hotel in Euroa is in De Boos Street.

    Not far from us is Love Street which gets knocked off regularly.

    A.I.F. St in Balwyn was always a good one when taxi drivers wanted a spelling just like Dan's Y St. Of course that was back in the days of voice, not this wimpy digital screen and button stuff.

    I seem to remember it was damp land.

    Down the range is a place called Slaughter Ck(?)Rd. which may or may not have something to do with the ex-local tribe.
    Out on a bush road not far from home is a sign pointing to Yonder Lane, which always tickled me.

    Cheers,

    Grandparents lived in Brewery Lane in Inverell many years ago - pity they were teetotallers, glad it's not hereditary.
