rude boat names

[BruceinSanity]

I saw a boat named DILLIGAF. It seemed an quirky name perhaps formed from a mix of two peoples names or some such at first until it dawned on me that it was on of those acronyms beloved of text messages etc. Well, I was born in a more innocent time and have led a sheltered life.

It's a song by blue Aussie comic Kevin Bl**dy Wilson: link

There used to be a "sloake hunt" moored in Warwick...

One of the boats used by Rol and Tom Wood on the LLLtd run to Weldless Tube was called "Bogskar" is that rude enough ?

On a different tack I know but we followed a builders van the other day and they were called .... Stoned and plastered

 

I don't want to go off topic but there's a paving merchant at this marina called Slab & Tickle

In the same vein there was a roofer who's firm was called "Ripitoff & Scarper".

There's an estate agent in Newport rejoicing in the name "Crooke and Blight"...

[Berengaria]

And a law firm in Leamington Spa called "Wright Hassell"

[stickleback]

And one in Chester called "Wright Manley". My favourite was an estate agent in windsor called Giddy and Giddy.

Perhaps that is why its name was changed to SANDRA when it passed to R.B. Tudor Ltd. (gauged as B.C.N. 2089).

Maybe they're Terry Pratchett fans

Or even fans of Dylan Thomas!

Llamedos is named after a tiny village nestling under the Llareggub Hills, made famous by Dylan Thomas in his magnificent work, "Under Milk Wood."

My mate way back (when I had a mate!) called his yacht "Cunning Stunt" but only for a while until his wife twigged.

Like Cupid Stunt - "All in the best possible taste"!

Llamedos was featured on Water World many years ago IIRC, and I don't think its the only boat with that name.

20 years ago I met a woman who changed the name of her house to Llamedos, I thought it was a daft idea at the time. (Still do)

Hi all

 

There's a boat called Norfolk and Chance moored locally on the Waterfront moorings close to me.

When I was growing up in the village of Corfe Mullen in Dorset the big house at the very end of the village was called " Far Corfe" hmm

There is a boat of this name down on the Broads and the owner looks and lives up to the name.

There is a reporter on our local paper called Wayne Anker!

What were the parents thinking!

I seem to remember a Llareggub at Torksey - nice guy.

This is why when my husband was an Independant financial adviser he didn't call the company Dyer Financial Services!

Dylan Thomas wrote 'Under Milk Wood' as a play for radio, broadcast by the BBC in the early '50's. How did he get away with Llaregub (the 'u' takes on an 'i' sound as in 'it' in this context) and Llamedos?

The same way as Peter Sellers got away with his character Hugh Jampton, Auntie was very naive.
