To be fair "private schools" in England would be called "public schools" in the States. And "private schools" in the States would be called "public schools" in England.

No. Private school and Pubic school in the UK are the same thing* (they're owned by non-state entities) it's state schools in the uk that are what the USA calls public schools.

*well there are slight differences in that a "public school" is generally considered to be extremely exclusive and upper class, whereas a "private school" is just any old fee-paying school.

Don't they know you're supposed to spell it backwards on the hood so people looking in the mirror who are somehow so daft to not understand there's an ambulance behind them will also somehow be literate enough to read the word ambulance?

As do their Catholic counterpart, the Sovereign Military Order of Malta



I'm not sure about the Johanniter, but the Maltese are still very much a noble organisation, as in full of former nobility. It's quite interesting how membership in some organisations came to be the new sign of exclusivity and social differentiation after the legal status of nobility was abolished.

It's a shame that the artist is another toffee-nosed oval office who went to loving Eton and has a laughably superficial understanding of politics, though. It honestly depresses me sometimes how class privilege is a shortcut to success in this country - even in such traditionally alternative and disenfranchised fields as punk music!

This is more like it:

What museum did they get that out of? The US could kick the mothballs off of something from their old decommissioned Cold War era fleet.

"Slava [original name] was laid down in 1976 in Shipyard 445 of the 61 Kommunara Shipbuilding Plant in Nikolayev, was launched in 1979, and commissioned on 30 January 1983." Roughly same era as the Ticonderoga-class, seems like.

Here's another ship that should probably be in a museum:

"Kommuna is a submarine salvage ship in service with the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet. A double-hulled catamaran, she was laid down at the Putilov Factory (now the Kirov Factory) in St. Peterburg in November 1912 as the Volkhov, launched the following year, and commissioned on 14 June 1915. She was renamed the Kommuna on 31 December 1922. Having served in the Russian Imperial, Soviet, and Russian Federal navies through the Revolution and two world wars, she is the oldest ship still in service with any navy"

Even with extensive refits along the way, you have to wonder how the hull has held up for so long.
