Brits steal carloads of F**king Austrian roadsigns http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/15/austrian_signs/ By Lester Haines Published Monday 15th August 2005 13:06 GMT An Austrian village called ****ing will not change its name despite snickering Brits making off with its roadsigns. Mayor Siegfried Hauppl has asked visitors to lay off the signs which began to attract outside attention after British and US soldiers passing through in 1945 illuminated the locals as to the English meaning of ****ing, Ananova reports. Hauppl explained: "We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is. After all, ****ing has existed for 800 years, probably when a Mr **** or the **** family moved into the area. The 'ing' was added as a word for settlement." We reckon that ****ing has been around a lot longer than 800 years, otherwise there wouldn't have been any ****s to lend their name to the village in the first place, would there? Be that as it may, the disappointing news is that the residents of ****ing are - according to Franz Duernsteiner, an expert on preposterous Austrian village names - very "conservative" people. He said: "Most of them can speak English, and when someone asks them where they come from they are a little ashamed to say it." That's fair enough, and certainly something the residents of Milton Keynes can sympathise with. ®
Unsure of why their town name always has to asstericks in it. One American told them, it was only 162 games. The other American told 'em that they just wanted to get some ass in their too.
In California, they have a ****ing Guhvano'. "Easy, everyone! There is enough ****ing for everyone!" - town's founders
