Horrible boat name !

[Deleted member 36384]

There is a town in the USA called Uranus. The jolly japesters from Jackass made a whole show out of asking people "Can I get a Hotdog in Uranus" and other such quips. Interestingly, or not, JumbleDucks link refers to a vessel called Uranus Gas, near the bottom of the article. Uranus, Missouri has a fudge factory, seriously, it really has and the Newspaper is called Uranus Examiner.

I once saw a westerly centaur on the Medway that had the unfortunate name of "Squitter".

One of the best boat names I've come across was Krow. Work spelt backwards i.e the opposite of work

Once new someone who had a boat called Tidos.

I got lost in Seven Hills Reserve, a forested area in Brisbane. My phone told me to proceed to Uranus Avenue but I couldn't work out which direction. I was about to ask another hiker, but thought how I could phrase the question.
What is the quickest way to ... ...No
How can I get to ..... No
Can you show me.... No
I just kept walking until I found my way out.

I often see a charter boat in Gocek called "Anchor Management".

Gocek is home to the best named restaurant ever, the famous Kebab Hospital.

The famous ship "Titan Uranus" ISTR was a photoshop fake but there is a Wana Bhum registered in Bangkok.

Then there’s the Dutch boat called Wet Dreams. Never had the courage to ask the owners if they knew the colloquial meaning of the boat name...

Back in the 70s and 80s there was a ship called the Wang King that often passed through the Dover Straits.

When I lived in Hong-Kong a Chinese billionaire had to be tactfully dissuaded from naming his new office block Haw House.

I think our friends acr the Atlantic have a unique way of choosing names...

I quite liked the boat I saw recently called Head Office.

As in - ‘I won’t be around on Friday, I’ll be spending the day at Head Office...’

FUJIMO + F**k You Jane I'm Off.

Or at Burnham Yacht Harbour an angling boat called 'Roger the Cabinboy'

We had a speed boat on Jersey called Far Canal. Not sure how that slipped past the registration clerk.

And in the uni mag :
Is that Uranus?
No, it's Mars.

Prince Jefri Bolkiah, the idiot younger brother of the Sultan of Brunei, had a big motor yacht called "Tits" with tenders called "Nipple 1" and "Nipple 2".
