BruceinSanity Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 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.

magpie patrick Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 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"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete harrison Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 One of the boats used by Rol and Tom Wood on the LLLtd run to Weldless Tube was called "Bogskar" is that rude enough ? Perhaps that is why its name was changed to SANDRA when it passed to R.B. Tudor Ltd. (gauged as B.C.N. 2089). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorlan Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Maybe they're Terry Pratchett fans Richard 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."

beerbeerbeerbeerbeer Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 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.

homer2911 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Or even fans of Dylan Thomas! 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way as Peter Sellers got away with his character Hugh Jampton, Auntie was very naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
