    Hahahahaha, sorry but that has to be one of the stupidest questions I've seen on boards. Somebody posts a map of Muff, and you ask where it is? Fair enough it's a small map, but I thought the "CITY OF DERRY AIRPORT" would have given it away...
    Hahahaaa

    Good comeback.

    Derry is up the north of Ireland, in that whole British part, on the east coast.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 217 ✭✭daosulli

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    I have a friend from Muff, and they actually did have a diving club for about 2 weeks, rented equipment and all, just you they could say they were members/president/secratary of the Muff Diving club.

    And on the subject of funny town names

    "Well I've been a Muff diver for many a year,
    and I've spent all my money on Muff diving gear"

    whats strange about that?


    personnally the fact there's a town in USA called ireland causes confusion when i tell some of them i'm from ireland.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 427 ✭✭pyure


    man, ive driven through that place more times than i can remember and only now do i realise the "funny" double meaning.

    some people'll laugh at anything...

    Indeed. I remember walking out of an airport in Italy once only to be faced with a 4 metre high, red illuminated sign bearing the word

    SMEG

    I laughed for about a minute.

    See, you didn't even find that funny :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 abaddon1666


    I live in Buncranna only a few miles from muff. It's a ****ing hole.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 138 ✭✭kam3qnwvebf4jh


    I drove through a place outside Kilmore Quay recently in Wexford called "bastardstown".

    Was on the map, but didnt see any road signs funnily enough...

    Comforting to know....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 450 ✭✭Chief


    It's funny, but there must be something about Inishowen, i'm from a little area called Cockhill just outside Buncrana, and you can also travel down through a place called Grainne's Gap into Muff and when you open the Inish Times to read what the Muff Beaver Scouts have been up to in the Muff notes section of the paper all becomes clear. What a wonderful place we live in :)

    oo-er

    And I regret to this day the David and Victoria Beckham didn't spend a night of passion in Horse and Jockey, and name their resulting offspring accordingly!
