Dull, a village in Perth and Kinross was already twinned with the town of Boring in Oregon USA.

| Not So Dull Really |
But not content with that, in 2017 they increased this by twinning with the Australian town of Bland Shire in New South Wales ...
A Perth and Kinross Councillor, said there have been about 60,000
visitors a year since the area forged a relationship with Oregon in
2012, and they are looking forward to welcoming more Antipodean visitors
in the future.

However with ambitions excited by the possibilities, Dennis Melloy the Perth and Kinross provost said that he hopes to twin with one of the two the US towns called Ordinary. Contrary to popular belief there is no town called Dreary in the USA, however there are seven places called Bland in the USA, so plenty of scope for more twinning.
In fact: There are four other places called Dull in the world (three in the USA, and One in Nigeria).
