A £200 million research vessel to be named "Boaty McBoatface" by the voting public - Newstalk

Thanks Poly - made my day - needed a LOL!

Love it.

That does it...no matter how difficult to come up with a name for the boat replacing Aquahound, it will NOT go to a public

- or even a ribnet vote

Imagine some Mumbai Port Authority bod having a go at it over the VHF.

PS the name "Ribby McRibface" has been ruled out even before the children suggested it!

I guess "Dog's Rowlocks" is out then?

I've mentioned this before, a local bloke I knew when younger had a nice Wayfarer sailing dinghy which was named 'Bastardface'. It was properly sign written on each side.

He was a bit of a non-conformist.

Yup, as is "Nofolk and Chance" and other nomenclatures of that (W)ilk!
