It's a word game for playing in the car. It was invented by Nea and meself about twenty years ago,when we were in Diss (in Norfolk and saw the office of a company that called itself (quite seriously) Diss Services, which struck us as funny. Examples:- 'What is the name of a not very successful firm in Norfolk that provides soft furnishings, cushions,etc ? answer - Diss Comforts'. 'What is the name of the Diss footbal team that never quite got the hang of the team spirit ?' 'Diss United'. I'll publish the answer to today's Diss game in a day or two, but probably Crowbard or Nea will have worked it out by then. Regards, Mike.

P.s. It's a famiy game that we played quite a bit when I first started blogging, to which it lends itself quite well.
Is it a windy place too?
Because that would make it "Disgusting".
Or it could just be Yarmouth...that was a bit smelly when I was there :) says Poo!
No. I think I'll reword it slightly:- A town in Norfolk that is so smelly that its neighbours remain separate from it.
Diss-stink-shun, perhaps? although I greatly admired Nea's Diss-gusting answer.
Is it true that the Tourist Information Office at Diss is more casually known as Diss-information?
If they had a port it would be called Diss-embark!
Near enough Crowbard, although the correct answer is DISTINCT (separate) (Diss stinked). Knew you'd be able to work it out.

Could I borrow your garden? I appear to have temporarily misplaced mine....
Always happy to make a contribution of DISTINCTION Mike!
v-word = jochi
which is a very jokey way of spelling it!
Hi, P'man. How have you managed to misplace (however temporarily) a garden? I can feel my imagination beginning to boggle!!!!
