The sub-nose kinda reminds me of the smiley face spaceship in the movie "Heavy Metal".

So I am ready for anything - even beef & cheese.
I just think it is weird that the fruit of the prickly pear cactus is called tuna. Maybe it's good with cheese and onion.

I'd like to be there if just to see the double-takes of nearby pedestrians.
There wouldn't be any double takes. I remember one time in Bolton, they were using Le Mans Crescent to film something that was supposed to be in moscow. They'd covered the place in fake snow and there were tanks and jeeps and cameras everywhere.....and guys in big hats. Typical Bolton response was to just trudge through the fake snow showing absolutely no sign that anything unusual was going on.

Americans and Brits would pronounce that spelling differently, though. Newt is pronounced noot here, but nyute there. mostly.

Yeah, that's very strange. They are tasty though.

There's nothing quite like coming up on a house that is three lanes wide whipping down the highway at 110km/h.

BTW, The Astute was launched June 8th, so that picture is either

1)Old, or
2) one of the follow on boats (Subs, no matter HOW large are 'boats' not ships, by tradition) - Possibly the Ambush, or the Artful

As they are hoping to launch the Ambush late this year, or next year, I'm going to guess it's the nose for the Artful
