Ramsbottom has made it into Despicable Me 2. Silas Ramsbottom is the Director of the Anti Villain League. I sit there whilst watching it, and tell my boys "we live there. There's not many people who can say that."

LOL! The region I live in has been immortalized a few times. Probably most famously by the movie "Twister". That is all well and good at the movies, but like Earthquake, Towering Inferno, The Perfect Storm etc. It is a serious matter in real life!

Wanker County was purchased from the Indians, whose name for Wanker county was "Obi luba possa wadamy" which means "Land of the big, gassy Possum."

I once asked a friend who lives in Oxfordshire why it was shortened to Oxon and he replied "Have you seen the women?"
