The Culture's starship names - got any suggestions? (Iain M Banks)

How about a couple of ROU names?

Try Nodding Your Head

and

Hah! Missed Me!
 
More possible ROU names:

Sudden Change In Fortunes
There Goes The Neighbourhood
Pyhrric Victory
Just Try It
 
Do Not Pass Go

This Way Up

Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers ( :D )

Running With Scissors

Outside The Box
 
We Apologise for the Inconvenience
Normal Service Will Be Resumed as Soon as Possible
Incest and Morris Dancing
Going to the Inevitable

(Explanations of the last two: "one should try everything once except incest and morris dancing" - Sir Arnold Bax. "I am going to the inevitable" - the dying words of Phillip Larkin)
 
I'll call you . . .

The cheque is in the post

Military intelligence

FUBAR

Try me, I dare ya

More ROUs:

Wanna Try Doing That With No Arms?
You And Whose Army?
Do I Look Bovvered?
:D
 
Oh, that game. :D

Thing is, some are great but don't really work in the Culture context.
So I suggest

And, well, perhaps also not really fitting for the Culture, but I love it:
