2. Twatt, Orkney, UK

Where really annoying people go to die.

Suggested by: Derekt

3. Penistone, Yorkshire, UK

It’s where they trialled Viagra. Apparently.

Suggested by: Derekt

4. Intercourse, Pennsylvania, USA

So much better a name than Cross Keys.

Suggested by: Wayan

5. Fucking, Austria

Because Austrians are so much more blunt than Americans.

Suggested by: Wayan (Do I detect a theme emerging?)

6. Pratts Bottom, Kent, UK

The rest of him is over in Sussex.

Suggested by: Liz Cleere

7. Anus, France

The arse end of France. Apparently.

Now it’s even easier to find the road to eternal damnation.
