    Noticed a house today called 'Anfield' (complete with LFC crest) and thought to myself 'how original' and even tried to mimic this face >:rolleyes:<... :pac:

    I only ever lived in a house identified by numbers - no fancy shmancy names for Chuck from the block.


    So good people of After Hours have you noticed any houses with daft names?

    There's a house on Donnybrook Road that's called Auschwitz.

    I can only presume that it was named before the end of WWII.

    Do they have a sign in the front garden, which says 'German occupied territory'? :eek:

    Fancy house near me called "Karibu" Always reminds me of this when I pass it:

    "Caribou! Nibbling at the croquet hoops."

    There's an Old Trafford on Sheriff Street. Nothing says premiership like a terraced council house on Sheriff Street.

    I hate houses and B&Bs that are named after hot countries or religious places and ****e. Like I've come across a Santa Cruz B&B and a Lourdes B&B near where I live. Dafuq like?

    There's an Old Trafford a few doors down from me...

    There's also a few St. Anthony's and a few St. Judes in the estate.

    Leg Over spelled backwards is Revo Gel... plus it sounds like a product for helping you to get your leg over.
