I have been sitting back waiting for an appropriately august post to celebrate my 10000th G&GR post. Some would say that this is 9500 too many.
As a control freak with OCD I feel that I can no longer wait for augustness as I watch my little fiefdom that is this thread descend into anarchy without my dictatorial input.
Several amendments need to be made to keep the chain going as the result of recent audit findings.
Allingham, previously joining Cootamundr
a and
Mordialloc, has been awarded a Red Card (previously used by @Hugh Jarse ).
It is to be replaced by:
Arncliffe, NSW. While technically not in The Shire, the locals play rugby for the Hobbits (Southern Districts). You can get a good feed and cold beer at the Arncliffe Scots Sports & Social Club - Interesting name for club in an area that is not well habited with persons of Scottish heritage.
and
East Rockingham, WA. Industrial suburb South of Perth and East of Rockingham. This was named "Challenger" between 1992 and 1996. Why? Nearest Rugby is in "Rocky" with the Rockingham Rugby Club.
Allingham - A smallish town near Ingham QLD, and previously known as Forrest Beach. Famous for being an A town that ends in M, and therefore potentially useful as a segue to Mount Buggery, Victoria, in a town name trivia chain game, if the latter was a town and not just a simple geographic feature.
Katherine, previously joining Timber Cree
k and
Exmouth Gulf, has been awarded a Red Card (previously used by @Baldric).
It is to be replaced by:
Kyogle, NSW. Australia's Tidiest Town according to some. Home to the Kyogle Cockies Rugby Club.
Katherine - NT. Cadel Evans is from here. He would not eat a pie
@yourmatesam,
Lamington is indeed a National Park and not a town. While Lamington is a very nice word in so many ways, It has been reluctantly issued with a Red Card, as it is not a Town, Suburb, Rural Place, Village, Locality or City etc. If I have to Red Card myself for the Geographic Feature that is Mount Buggery Vic, then @yourmatesam can't have a National Park.
