Have you got or would you like a house name

Our house is called Phuq Hall

;D

 

i don't live in it but i have a cottage called santoi - bonus karma point for anyone who can tell me where the name comes from !.

 

Sorry to hi jack this thread Jd but it reminds me of one of the greatest put downs i ever had the pleasure to hear .

When i was building for a living i had the misfortune of taking on a job for the most bombastic bull headed man ever , i won't go into detail about him but suffice to say i did'nt like him .

Any how he had bought a wooden house that was leaseehold and you paid ground rent to a local farmer , he paid £34000 cash as it was unmortgageable it was a ropey old place but it did have a brand new Arga cooker which he liked and kept .

He asked me initially to renew the foundations , we did this by jacking it up and dropping it back on to a new concrete and brick base , in the processs we discovered the wooden walls were completely rotten and so he asked me to renew them and at great cost we did we also renewed all the doors and windows .

Finally he decided if he'd gone that far he might as well get us to cut a whole new roof on , costa lotta!.

i had two chaps who worked for me at the time ( mid 90s ) and one of them was a lad called Bob who was a really quiet bloke , good all round labourer and decent bloke , he never said much and when he did he spoke slowly and concisely , this bullying customer decided wrongly from the outset that he never liked Bob and picked on him relentlessly calling him thick , lazy and worse ,Bob used to get upset but was too thoughtful to say anything to him .

A few times i had to speak to the bully and ask him not to upset my lads and everyone else who came to site and after three month's i had had my fill of him .

On the very last day , me and the other lad Tom were placing the last few ridge tiles on the roof and Bob was painting a door in the kitchen , the bully turned up and not realising i was on the roof laid straight into Bob , we could hear it from the roof and i thought i best get down and stop him , but Bob sorted it - he said


" Mate you have called me thick and stupid and dim since i have been on this job and true enough i might be , but i never paid £34000 for a arga !" --

Me n Tom had to hold ourselves on the roof , he had indeed paid £34k for a arga , he never bought the ground it was leasehold and he had to have the bungalow completely rebuilt !.

The name he chose for the bungalow was - DUNOVER !!

 

My house has got a name. Cant remember what is is though and cant be assed to go and look at the sign!
