    Thanks saguru - you described me to a tee

    It is also.....

    nob

    high place, a city of the priests, first mentioned in the history of David's
    wanderings (1 Sam. 21:1). Here the tabernacle was then standing, and here
    Ahimelech the priest resided. (See AHIMELECH.) From Isa. 10:28-32 it seems to
    have been near Jerusalem. It has been identified by some with el-Isawiyeh, one
    mile and a half to the north-east of Jerusalem. But according to Isa. 10:28-32
    it was on the south of Geba, on the road to Jerusalem, and within sight of the
    city. This identification does not meet these conditions, and hence others (as
    Dean Stanley) think that it was the northern summit of Mount Olivet, the place
    where David "worshipped God" when fleeing from Absalom (2 Sam. 15:32), or more
    probably (Conder) that it was the same as Mizpeh (q.v.), Judg. 20:1; Josh.
    18:26; 1 Sam. 7:16, at Nebi Samwil, about 5 miles north-west of Jerusalem.
    After being supplied with the sacred loaves of showbread, and girding on the
    sword of Goliath, which was brought forth from behind the ephod, David fled
    from Nob and sought refuge at the court of Achish, the king of Gath, where he
    was cast into prison. (Comp. titles of Ps. 34 and 56.)

      Knob:
      Short for Knob Head! A reference to the end of a penis! Commonly known as a "Dick Head".

      Yup Chico, you down to a tee!

        Thanks guys

        Well I was a bit rushed when I posted the poll and misspelt knob. But just to make it clear, Chico, what I meant, as most people on the board agree, is that you are a penis head.

          NatWest issues cash card to Dick Head
          God alone knows what NatWest customer Chris Lancaster has done to offend the bank's card issuing department, but it recently sent him a new cash card on which he is gloriously identified as "Dick Head".

                    They have indeed and no it wasn't a Freudian slip, it was a spelling mistake. You are a KNOB with knobs on.
