Re: anyone still around from 1741
@allthecoolshortnamesweretaken - Alas, I'm in the wrong part of Spain to be in the SPB, and also probably not cool enough. Haven't exploded anything for ages. So I'd have to categorically any allegations of malfeasance and can bribearrange witnesses if necessary.
@Pookietoo - Yes, the Falklands were given as a reason for voting; and given another 48 hours for the news to get round Argentina, I suspect that Boaty McBoatface would have been blown off the map. But so what? The actual name was from a historical character. It makes people feel better and a reminder of hubris is never a bad thing. And the guy trounced the English; which is not a thing that happened in the Falklands.
Living here, It's a bit like when there's an England v Spain footy match on...vaguely want England to win but am happy to celebrate a Spain win too. And you know you're going to get abuse whatever the outcome. I wouldn't vote for it myself; but would happily raise a glass to world-class trolling if they had won.
