June 9, 2007: British nuke sub nose rolls down the street
 The BBC offers this item. How do you get the constructed nose of a nuclear sub to where it needs to be assembled? Roll it right down the middle of the street. I'd like to be there if just to see the double-takes of nearby pedestrians. The sub looks happy, though, doesn't it? Yay I'm rolling down the street! Quote:

Aren't European streets very narrow?
Or at least that's what the media has told me through movies and stuff. Not even so much as a guiding team in front either, eh? |

Happy until a rising bollard impales him, with lightning speed.

Did they really name a class of submarine the "Astute"? And does the average British submariner like that name?
I can see that lasting about five milliseconds here among the Pentagon types who have to think up this kind of thing. Of course, over here we have dropped the r in arse.

LOL the sub DOES look happy. Wow. If I was walking or driving and saw that I would definitely feel panicked. But then again big things like that make me feel uneasy...

And yes, most streets are very narrow by US standards, but they do strange things over there like research the course beforehand....

During the Vietnam war, Boeing built helicopters at one plant then towed them, on their own wheels, over the road for several miles to another plant to be painted and finished.
The PA legislature had to pass a special law to allow that and it screwed up traffic pretty good, because they were building one a day.

Looks like a scene out of the Thunderbirds.
The good one, with strings. Not the crappy remake with more plastic people than the original.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit The more you eat, the more you toot. Though in its current form, the sub is missing its ass entirely, and thus cannot toot.
