We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

I wasn't playing the silly place name, just expressing an opinion.
UK has:
Licky Hole,
Six Mile Bottom,
2 Twatts (I'd like to point out thats 2 places called Twatt, we have plenty of Twatts in UK otherwise.)
Brown Willy
Dancing Dicks
Bell End
Back Passage
Cockshoot Close
Rimswell
and my personal favourite; "Hornyold Road"
EDIT: How could I forget! It made national news! Tickle Cock Bridge!
