I hated that name, but it was me that had come up with it and for some reason it stuck. Just too difficult to say. We were later called Spanners and got to the point where we sold tickets for our launch / farewell gig. Tepid Soup forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm actually a little surprised the red area is that 'small' to be honest. Those states are really **** empty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 After reading the place name stuff in the General Chat, thought I'd leave this video here about British place names. Not a map per se, but a YouTube channel about maps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also mostly be to your West. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 26, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2021 I guess it might be something to do with the Mississippi maybe? It’s a kinda East/West boundary line and Texas falls on the West side. “Careful sheriff, he’s the fastest gun west of the Mississippi!” Not sure if that’s actually been uttered in too many westerns but it’s a trope I associate with them.
