Fieldwork
Some names recorded for fields in England, with explanations.
Eight Day Math - meadow requiring eight days to mow.
Pasty Crust - field with brittle soil.
Handkerchief - small field
Seldom Seen - remote field
Australia - ditto
Happersnapper - 'enclosure with a wicket gate'
The Psalms - 'land on which the psalms were recited during the bound-beating ceremony'
Rumps and Buttocks - 'alluding to convex configurations'
And a selection from my favourite category: 'Derogatory names for unprofitable or unfertile fields.'
Famish Acre
No Man's Friend
Labour in Vain
Purgatory
Raw Bones
Rats' Castle
Bare Arse
Thin Porridge
Terrible
All these from the excellent dictionary 'English Field-Names', by- in a piece of extraordinarily on-the-nose nominal determinism- John Field.

Are you trying to get into farm business? Don't, you'll feel and sound like Archers characters. ;)
:-) To add to this - a handful of the names of fields used for playing pitches at Eton College:
Agar’s Plough,
Dutchman’s,
The Triangle and
Mesopotamia (aka messpots)

This is exactly the sort of thing I mean when I say cleverness is valued in British culture – it takes different forms in different social strata and contexts, but it's all cleverness.
I'm so impatient of listening to the new season of JFSP, I'm quite curious of how you will use all this. Congrats on the awards, by the way! I wish so much you'd tour in France - preferably in Toulouse... It's great to be able to listen to Radio 4 over the internet in the meantime.

There's a field near me called the Humpty Dumps. It's just as you might imagine it to be.
In Norfolk dialect the word "Loke" means "A lane leading to a field" (i.e. a mud track).
There's several roads named Loke too: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/loke/@52.6337044,1.3012599,13.25z
I first saw the word walking past Thor Loke, so assumed it was pronounced Thor Loki.

I rarely share my story with people, not only because it put me at the lowest point ever but because it made me a person of ridicule among family and friends. I put all I had into Binary Options ($690,000) after hearing great testimonies about this new investment
strategy. I was made to believe my investment would triple, it started good and I got returns (not up to what I had invested). Gathered more and involved a couple family members, but I didn't know I was setting myself up for the kill, in less than no time all we had put ($820,000) was gone. It almost seem I had set them up, they came at me strong and hard. After searching and looking for how to make those scums pay back, I got introduced to maryshea03@gmail.com to WhatsApp her +15623847738.who helped recover about 80% of my lost funds within a month.
Mi nombre es Mónica de España !!!! Solo quiero compartir mi experiencia con todos. He escuchado sobre esta tarjeta de cajero automático en blanco por un tiempo y nunca le pagué ningún interés debido a mis dudas. Hasta que un día descubrí un tipo de piratería llamado hackers ilimitados. Él es muy bueno en lo que está haciendo. Volviendo al punto, pregunté por la tarjeta de cajero automático en blanco. Si funciona incluso existen. Dijeron que sí y que su dinero se retira una tarjeta aleatoria programada sin ser notada y también se puede utilizar para la tarifa de compras en línea de cualquier tipo. Esto fue impactante y todavía tenía mis dudas. Entonces aproveché la oportunidad y pedí la tarjeta y acepté sus términos y condiciones. Esperando y rezando para que no fuera una estafa. 3 días después recibí mi tarjeta y probé el cajero automático más cercano para probar, funcionó como magia. Pude retirar hasta 1000 euros al día. Este fue increíble y el día más feliz de mi vida. Hasta ahora puedo retirar hasta 7,000 euros en una semana sin ningún tipo de estrés de ser atrapado. No sé por qué estoy publicando esto aquí, me dio la sensación de que esto podría ayudar a aquellos que necesitan estabilidad financiera. La tarjeta en blanco de ATM realmente ha cambiado mi vida. Si desea ponerse en contacto con ellos, aquí está la dirección de correo electrónico es unlimitedhackersnetwork@gmail.com. Y creo que cambiarán tu vida

There is a great deal of research on the physical, emotional, and mental benefits of crystal healing. I have learned a lot from crystal shops near me. I also believe that “practicing” crystal healing has helped me in my own life in many ways. These benefits include a more open channel for receiving intuitive information, better pain management in cases of chronic pain, and better management of fears and even phobias.
I'm sure I am not the only one who knows the most reliable Recovery Agency. I see a lot of recommendations online and it’s already obvious there are bad eggs online who will only add to your mystery. The best thing that happened to me this month is coming across a reliable Recovery Agency. Geo Coordinates Hacker, a professional hacker and private investigator. I had invested $97,000 into a cryptocurrency platform that turned out to be a scam and I had no idea how to get back my money until someone recommended me to Geo Coordinates Hacker. I contacted them, and they were able to recover everything from these scammers without breaking a sweat. I’m truly grateful and I’m sharing this out there with everyone. You might have been involved in a romance scam, or fake cryptocurrency investment, and you wish to get back your money, then you need to contact Geo Coordinates Hacker too. Don’t let anyone get away with your hard-earned money. This is their Email Address: (geocoordinateshacker@proton.me.)

¡¡¡Hola, chicos!!! Tengo mi lealtad. Mi tarjeta de cajero automático en blanco puede retirar $5,000 por día. Recibí esto del Sr. Georg el miércoles pasado y ahora tengo 10.000 € gratis. La tarjeta saca dinero de cualquier cajero automático y no hay nombre, no es rastreable y ahora tengo dinero suficiente para mí y mis 4 hijos. Estoy encantado de haber conocido al Sr. Georg porque conocí a dos personas antes y tomé mi dinero sin saber que eran estafas. Pero ahora estoy feliz. El señor Georg envió la tarjeta a través de DHL y la recibí en dos días. Consigue uno de él ahora. Mira, se dona para ayudar a la gente, incluso si es ilegal, pero ayuda mucho y nunca atrapan a nadie. La tarjeta funciona en todos los países del mundo. Date prisa y envía un correo electrónico a través de georgbednorzhackers @ gmail. com Envía un mensaje de texto, llama o WhatsApp: +1(262)355-8285 Otros servicios ofrecidos fueron: Clonación de tarjetas de cajero automático Hackear cajeros automáticos de Bitcoin con tarjetas de malware Recuperar criptomonedas perdidas o robadas Hackear transferencias de Western Union, transferencias de MoneyGram, transferencias bancarias, transferencias de PayPal, transferencias de aplicaciones de efectivo Recupere redes sociales pirateadas: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Gmail, Yahoo mail y sitios web.
