The Crimson Permanent Insurance

Does this image not remind you of The Crimson Permanent Insurance building featured at the start of Monty Pythons "The meaning of life"? add a couple of huge chains each side and the shape is already reminiscent of a ship!

Gosh, it's been awhile since I've seen the movie so can't say for sure. I agree with you about that shape, though - very distinctive!

Wonderful shot!

But Brian, you know what they say?
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

My preference is for the Galaxy song:

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'

which for the most part is approximately correct!
