Rick / Y2K?

Having just returned from a very relaxing Millenium holiday/celebration in the wilds of Scotland, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the world...is still here!! Anyone seen the infamous "Rick" around (the "p" is silent)? Or is he still cowering in his bunker with 10 thousand tins of beans? I always said I'd like a laugh upon my return after the Millenium. Cheers! John

Hehe, nor hide nor tail of him has been seen.

That's because the little idiot is back on the Nascar newsgroup preparing for a comeback. He even has a small "welcome wagon" of folks who can't wait to absolve and reassimilate him into the sim world. Have a peek through the bars at 206.27.21.29 ( Jacob Butners Nascar/DTR newsgroup) Greg Avella

I've just been over to the suggested (a later thread) NG and he's still as crazy as ever. John, the Millenium isn't over you know, this year is the 2000:th, so it's almost a year to go... /Chrille, apologizing for my bad english, I'm from Sweden...

Heck "The Millenium" (as in the end of the 1000-year period) means nothing, folks are just e***d about having a "2" instead of a "1". As far as I'm concerned "2000" _is_ the millenium, even if, numerically speaking, it's not (if you know what I mean). The main reason being that no-one will give a ***about 2001. Personally speaking I had some champagne, some nice whisky and open some real lovely wine, and just so's not to offend anyone I fully intend doing the same again next year :-) Now, where's Rick.... ;-) Cheers! John

Nah, 2001 will probably still be a 'magic' year because of the movie...<g> Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?

They would be better off looking for the plot in his last film.... -- don [|]-(_)-[|]

I was very close not to celebrate this new year at all, mainly because of the hysteria around it. It's only a way of counting, and it only says 2000 if you use the 10th base... I do see the advantages for human kind to start a new year, new decade, new century, new millenium. It's as if we think we get a new chance to do it right... The memorial TV-programs of the past year, decade, etc, also reminds us of all the good things that happened, which I guess increase our optimistic view of the future - Perhaps we're not that bad after all :o). This doesn't explain why the stock market is falling though, so maybe I'm wrong... again... /Chrille
