Apparently eagle's nest has been used before for a mountain retreat by a chap in Germany who ended up not so popular in the forties.
Let's have a game...rename bill's house.
I came up with ego's rest
My work colleagues came up with biker grove (there's an area in Newcastle called byker which led to a kids soap called byker grove)
They also had my camp and mona lang. (My camp....mein kampf and mona lang (a ma wee hacienda))
So come on....get creative.

Jerry, yes it's home but I couldn't have a name plate reading HOME.
In A Clockwork Orange, the house where Alex and his droogs battered and crippled their last victim, battered raped and murdered his wife and where alex was betrayed by those same droogs who later, as police thugs, abandoned a beaten but supposedly rehabilitated Alex and where he was pschologically tortured was called Home.

Bovine freedom ? ... cows with guns, cows on buns ... chickens in choppers ... this was hilarious but I could not make heads nor tails out of any point it was trying to make ... (didn't hear anything of 'milk' either) ... LOL

The book and the film were close but the film was a sensationalised rendition.
The milk was a means of cattyinh synthetic recreational drugs to the masses to maintain government control through mass intoxication.
Upper classes shunned the drugs and went for wines and spirits.
Kubric actively blocked general release of the film for years because it didn't tell the story.

General consensus favours Egos Rest - as sort of a statement to check your ego at the threshold - of course it applies to me more than anyone else.....so I'll get Scott the Brush to re letter it.
Do you guys use nicknames to ID people? We have Skye Willie, sailor Willie, Yorkshire Willie (that's me) Goalie Tom, Long Tom, Jimmy the one, Meat Market Jimmy, Butcher Jimmy, Docker Jimmy etc.etc.
Back in England there was Dan the Goth, Teacher Mark, Cockney Mark, Counting Mark, Chef John, Farmer John, Riverbank John, Old John, Little John - it goes on and on

Where I used to work years ago, my boss (a great guy), used to nickname everybody ... and then I followed suit when I took his place ... it was not so much to I.D. anyone more than it was just a friendlier type atmosphere to work in ...
I've tried to get others in my group to pick-up some various nicknames I have come up with for some of the 'regulars', but it hasn't 'caught-on' very well ... for instance, one of our 'middle-aged' members recently had to have a pace-maker implanted that also has an 'auto-shock system' should his heart stop ... it acts as a defibrillator of sorts, if I understand it right ... so for the last month, I've called him 'Sparky' ... ... ... and during a meeting a while back, I mentioned that I wondered if 'Sparky' could pass over those 'hidden dog fences' that 'shock' the dogs if they try to get out, or not ... (took a while to get the meeting back on track)(Sparky had the biggest laughs I might add) ...
