Fucking, Austria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Fucking is located in Austria, 4 kilometers from the German border.
Coordinates: 48°04′02″N 12
Country      Austria
State      Upper Austria
Region      Innviertel
Municipality      Tarsdorf
Established      since at least 1070
Named for      6th century nobleman named Focko

Fucking (German pronunciation: ˈfʊkɪŋ, rhymes with "booking") is an Austrian village in the municipality of Tarsdorf, in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria. The village is 33 kilometres (21 mi) north of Salzburg, 4 km (2.5 mi) east of the river Inn, which forms the German border.

Despite having a population of only 104 in 2005, the village has drawn attention for its unusual place name in the English-speaking world. Its road signs are a popular visitor attraction, and they were often stolen by souvenir-hunting tourists until 2005, when the signs were modified to be theft-resistant.

BTW, there is a small town in Canada known as Dildo.  :blankfriggingstare1

A nip-in-and-out Local European Club Gig Tour would be one way to both rehearse and gather material for a 'Nah Filter' live compilation, surely.

'Live With Me' played at the Bricklayers pub in Nasty in Ware, Hertfordshire?
'It Must Be Hell' played at the Hell Blues Club in Hell, in Stjørdal, Norway
''Bitch' played at the Bar L’Atlas in 'Bitche', France
'Winning Ugly' played at the Cambio Lounge near Ugley in Essex
Sympathy For The Neville Chamberlain' played at the service station café on the D902 near Lucifer in Normandy, France
and 'Suck On the Jugular' played at the Muschi Club in Fucking, Austria

There's a little village called Muff in County Donegal.

I've been there lots of times and always manage to get lost despite its size.

Lots of great places to eat, mind you.
