- arethuza 13y agoI propose that if Scotland does get independence that we adopt Culture ship names for our future (tiny) navy. I rather like the idea of a fishery protection vessel called the "Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall".
- saraid216 13y agoSo Much for Subtlety.
- shabble 13y ago> I rather like the idea of a fishery protection vessel called the "Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall". I'd go with the Me, I'm counting.
- grey-area 13y agoWhat a wonderful idea - less intimidating than the UK's use of SkyNet for UK satellite systems, but unfortunately far less likely to happen. In the meantime we can always use ship names for online avatars ;)
- arethuza 13y agoI would have thought the prize for intimidating ship names goes to HMS Vengeance, one of the UK's Trident missile subs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Vengeance_%28S31%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Vengeance_%28S31%29 NB I've always assumed Iain's fascination with ship names was related to his father being in the Navy - like his fascination with Really Big Things was influenced by living in North Queensferry as a kid.
- ZeroGravitas 13y agoI'd vote for a political party called The Culture, with policies to match, in an independent Scotland.
- mercurial 13y agoBut if you had a Culture party succeed, the benevolent Minds heading it would just take over. You'd vote away democracy, basically.
