Now, I may have had a few, but I'm pretty sure the former has only 9 letters whilst the latter has 10. We're missing an 'r' somewhere...
Title: Re: Mixed up places Post by: JayMac on August 22, 2010, 04:37:46 I do like the idea that I travel regularly through "SPLATTERED EMBOLISM". I tend to avoid the "Lofty Wide Baboon" because "Yacht Paw" (not on the map) is more convenient. My local station is "Shat Morphine"
And there's the station that I regularly travel to that I try and avoid naming on the forum for superstitious reasons - but I think I'm safe in mentioning "Not Tuna". ;D I'm disappointed to note that "Helm Mask" is not on the map......
