Greetings again all!
Those of you interested in my sojourns in the distant Land of Corn will doubtless read all about it on lj when I'm alive enough to post, but I thought everyone would enjoy the road sign we passed about 6am this morning. It declared that Cocks was just half a mile away down a side road. Clearly whoever is responsible for naming Cornish villages is utterly deranged.
So, what did I miss while getting horribly sunburnt? -

what about Wank or Brown Willy as town names? And then of course, there's Westward-Ho!, the prosititutes' town of choice.
Regardless, can I glomp you? You're back! -

Brown Willy came up last night, if you'll excuse the pun. A friend took me out for a congratulatory welcome-to-the-2:1-club pint, and we got onto the subject of dodgy place names. He's apparently got a book of loads of them, which I shall happily share when he finds it.
There's a Cock Alley in Derbyshire somewhere too. -
Oh, awful pun. :P by

I don't have an entire book dedicated to them, but I do have a few books which have lists of some of them.

All I have to say about the sunburn is "ouch" and use aloe vera gel on the burn, if possible.

Actually, I think the plan is just to let it go away itself and then only come out at night for the next two months, but I shall bear that in mind should I be subjected to the perils of sunlight again.

Well, I wrote my first official clunker (no big, I'll get a beta) and some celebrities died. Other than that, not much on my front. Good to see you back.

A village called Cocks, eh?

Oh, Hell to the yes. (Credit to Tenkyougan, an artist acquaintance of mine. We don't know each other very well, but dammit his art is awesome. -

You haven't missed much, mainly a couple of discussions, some mission plugs (including one that was... well, not very well received, to be polite about it), and badfic reports. Been rather quiet, actually.
