Captain Colonial Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 As I enjoyed a few glasses last night, some random thoughts occurred to me: Where are the towns of Secret, Hiding, and Cognito? It seems like every time a fugitive is found, they were in one of those towns - "Police find gangster in Hiding"; "Drug Dealer living in Cognito", etc. I've no idea where they are, but surely it's the first place that police should be looking for criminals? And why would any criminal move there if that's where they're often found? Do the towns themselves encourage criminal behaviour? Likewise, where are the towns of Danger, Peril, Risk and Path, and why would anyone choose to live near there? Hardly a day goes by without a news report of people living near those places having some calamity move them into those towns - "Earthquake puts people in Danger"; "Tidal wave puts locals in Peril", etc. Just move away from the area! Any geography experts out there who can enlighten me as to where these places are please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hmm, I've made a study of the words more obscure towns and villages over the years. Some I'm still hunting for, but the obsession began quite young. I found the wonderful town of Trouble first, it's such a delightful place, I'm a frequent return visitor; I can frequently be found in Trouble. Highly recommended. I stumbled across the fine old market town of Disgrace quite by accident. You know how it goes, I was seve eighteen, on a pub crawl with friends, and well, I don't remember much, other than waking up in the newly discovered town.

SootySport Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I've been in Limbo a few times and it is not very good for my back, at my age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 You didn't drink enough! I find that my oh-so-wise trains of thought in my cups, disappear like summer snow as the liver processes the booze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooch Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Scott, you need to try a book called 'The Meaning of Liff ' - by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd. They decided to give meanings to place names after realising that all these words on signposts were going to waste. Hilarious and very clever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 "Few" is a relative term, of course. If I had been drunk, it would have been "more than a few". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
