Well, F1 is still (just) a European-based sport. And new GPs tend to go towards the end of the calendar (i.e. November). But this is many decades in the future. Maybe it'll be Europa, the place in the Solar System most likely to have extra-terrestrial life...

I don't know but in the 1989 film The Abyss, Ed Harris wore something similar to a spacesuit and had a keypad which he used to communicate with his stranded crew. His messages appeared on a screen similar to that but I doubt he typed something like that.

Usually, I'm not too bothered by post counts. But I've just noticed that Stramala is likely to beat me to being the second person to reach 10,000 posts. Still, I am likely to still be the third to reach that historic landmark. Never thought that would be the case when I reached 1,000. I must have been about the 10th or 20th to have reached that target...

I didn't even notice I was at all close to 10,000 tbh :lol:

I don't know whether to be happy, not care, or feel immensely deprssed I even had the time to rack up so many posts... :(

He is indeed, and I warned him that if he decides to change it again he won't get it easily.

The next time he gets bored with his nick, he must send 84269 ¾ perfectly ripe papayas (no more, no less) to HWNSNBM's secret shrine in Vanuatu (of which's location is only known by few select people). Each papaya must have his new nickname proposal written with Pantone colors matching the Hungarian national flag. He must do this without any outside assistance, although he is allowed to hire a cargo ship to transport the fruit. Once he has reached Vanuatu, he must locate the secret shrine and move every fruit there by hand, one by one, again without any outside assistance. Once that is done, he must then identify the correct Great Statue of HWNSNBM located in the shrine area (there are 50 copies of it there, and only one of them is the correct choice), kneel before it and recite the names of every reject driver and team in the history of F1 in one go. Only then is his request for a new nick taken into consideration.

Knowing him, he'll probably find a way to let others do his work and somehow get away with it...

Based on Whois data, this kostas22 registered from an IP located in the New England area. So it's probably someone from the Eastern US playing a prank on us. :P

Moral of the story? Check if someone has a username similar to yours that could cause confusion.
