Place names and earworms

My commute takes me through Alveston
although it is rare for the sea winds to make it up from the Bristol Channel

I've had that one at Alvaston near Derby, and Garlieston in Galloway

Good job you didn't ride past the beautifully named Minge Lane in Upton then ! (Out on the Welland road, just before the fire station.)

The street sign is now concreted to the wall/pavement to stop it being stolen. There isn't a visiting rugby team without an original somewhere in their clubhouse.

Last night, shortly after riding through Upton - Upton on Severn to be precise -

Upton upon Severn to be extra precise.

I get the same whenever I go near Ulverston. They do get sea winds there

On another ride through Warwickshire Iast night my head was full of Stiff Little Fingers singing 'Alternative Alcester'

I used to have a serious earworm with 'Vienna' by Ultravox

Here's one example of many ...

Brings to mind...

'ad a love affair with Nina
In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned up hyena
Could not of been more obscener
She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between 'er
Rum & 'er ribena, well...

The one & only Mr Dury, needless to say.

Let me guess, you cycle in south Essex quite a bit? Or could be the Isle of Thanet?

We sing the same thing at Garveston.

Then of course there is Understrand Overstrand wombling free.

Goin' a bit highbrow for a second, one of my party pieces is a catchy, cheeky little Rossini number called La Pastorella delle Alpi, one of those songs which pretends to be innocent but is essentially about sh@gging. I sang it at my parents' birthday party. Heard Mr G get up in the night, wander about, come back to bed, very restless. Next morning:

"Fecking Bella Pastorella on my mind all night, I couldn't sleep!"
Me:
Phone rings at lunchtime. My sister:
"Fecking Bella Pastorella, can't get it out of my head! Couldn't sleep!"
Me:
Later, sister again
"SERIOUSLY, GOING MAD HERE"

She tried chewing some gum which is apparently a sovereign cure, it seemed to work UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY...

We have a Joe Lane close to us, every time I pass it I break into a rendition of the Dolly Parton classic.
