To laugh at the new name of the house round the corner

[DonInKillerHeels]

Villa Areola. The house of nipple.

Ha ha! brilliant!

And I thought my parents were curious for calling their house Ebenezer (yes, I know it has biblical connotations but it's ugly)

Bet the post office have a laugh! Also bet their post never gets lost. Brill!

That is fantastic

Ha ha! YADNBU!

I saw one called Somewhere the other day. I quite like it.

There's a house called Uhura near here - named presumably after this illustrious lady from old-style Star Trek.

I'm going to change my house name to DUNCLEENIN! just to piss my mother off!

DonInKillerHeels Are your parents selling up? I saw a house called Ebeneezer for sale the other day in our desired location and I suggested it to DH. Only because he is a Scrooge

There's a house near me called Fir Q Hall!

In fairness, I think 'areola' means something along the lines of 'open place' in Latin. But I'd be quietly sniggering too.

Haha, brilliant!

I live near 'The Shire' and it sort of looks a little hobbity.

maybe they don't know what it means and just thought it sounded good.

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It isn't occupied by a former page 3 girl is it? Maybe Linda Lucardi (gives age away) has moved into your street.

Hilarious lol

Hah! i can just imagine my mum if she saw this blushing the whole way down the street. The council near us have a sense of humour apparently, they named a new estate built on a former yoghurt factory Pasture Rise!

:o :o

'House next door to nutter', with a big arrow pointing to the left - would be mine - to piss her orf next door. [grin (I loathe the evil bitch), prejudice, racist, anonymous malicious caller to authorities about us. (sorry i know it's another thread, just to have to vent) ahh that's better

@ 'Pasture Rise'! What a shame there aren't more councils with a sense of humour!

DS1 had a schoolfriend whose house was called "schoolfriend's house". Genius. It meant that it was really easy to find for kids and adults alike.

I once worked in a hospital which decided to give its numbered wards the names of birds. They got as far as printing the sign for the urology ward...Peacock Ward.

Funnily enough the sign was never used.

There's a house near my mum called "Hellinside". No idea if it is!

Oh and I once went to an NCT coffee morning in a converted church called Pew Corner.

We were looking at holiday cottages recently and there was a nice one that was a converted police station. It was called Evening Hall.

Saw one in Austria called 'Blummeneck' once.
