Link: Sydney ferry named Ferry McFerryface after public poll - BBC News

 

An artist's drawing provided by Transport for NSW:

 

 

...Sydney will have a new ferry named Ferry McFerryface following a public poll, the local government has said.

 

Hundreds nominated the name in a survey that asked locals to name a fleet of six new ferries for the city's harbour.

 

The announcement by the New South Wales (NSW) government sparked mirth, as well as criticism by some who said Sydney was late to the joke...

We would like your name suggestions for two of our new gritting vehicles, please. Keep em clean and be original - we'd prefer not to spend the next few days trawling through responses of Gritty McGritface and Gary Gritter.

We are DELIGHTED to be able to confirm what our new gritters will be called, following the #DoncasterGrittingWorldCup final!

 

They will be called:

 

Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney

Named after the TV naturalist Sir David Attenborough, the vessel has been assembled at the Cammell Laird yard in Birkenhead and placed on its slipway...

Boaty McBoatface makes major climate change discovery on maiden outing

 

Boaty McBoatface’s maiden outing has made a major discovery about how climate change is causing rising sea levels. Scientists say that data collected from the yellow submarines's first expedition will help them build more accurate predictions in order to combat the problem.

 

The mission has uncovered a key process linking increasing Antarctic winds to higher sea temperatures, which in turn is fuelling increasing levels.

 

Researchers found that the increasing winds are cooling water on the bottom of the ocean, forcing it to travel faster, creating turbulance as it mixed with warmer waters above.

 

Experts said the mechanism has not been factored into current models for predicting the impact of increasing global temperatures on our oceans, meaning forecasts should be altered.

 

Boaty McBoatface – the publicly named robotic submersible carried on the research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough – took its first expedition in April 2017, studying the bottom of the Southern Ocean.

That's just down the road from here

 

well a few miles and across the river - but close enough

 

reminds me of when a submarine was being launched from the same place - in those days I worked in an office building that could see across the river - so we all lined up to watch

 

worst fog I have ever seen on the river - couldn;t see a thing even when the sub was apparently in mid river

 

 

name of the sub

 

HMS Unseen - classic
