But actually old bean I shouldn't be rude about my Caledonian brothers, so I'll attempt a serious translation. Assuming you just need the nouns tackled, I shall gloss thus:

Fife- a county in eastern Scotland
Kirkcaldy- small town therein
Forth, the- a river that flows through Fife to the North Sea
Firth, the- the estuary mouth of above river

Incidentally, it may interest you to know that a lot of recreational sailing goes on at the Firth of Forth.

Reminds me of a poetic football result: East Fife 4 Forfar 5, try saying that after a few hot toddies

Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.

slguy,

It's not only to screw you colonials up. We do it to ourselves aswell. Try this Welsh place name (the longest place name in the world).

Llanfawrpwllgwyngyllogogerychwyrndrobwyllantysiliogogogoch

Which roughly translated means, "The church of St Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool of St Tysilios of the red cave".

Leave the big stick at home...carry a cannon!

This is an unfortunate place name in Austria:

And underneath it says "Please, not too fast".
Slightly different ... today I saw an all purpose cleaning material in my local La 14 called "Bum".
