This is actually a small tweak request that I've been meaning to ask for for a while. On my Windows laptop, there is a search box in the HNet menu bar. You type what you want to search for in the left side, but the options on the right (the scope of the search, e.g. This Topic, This Forum, Everywhere etc.) are hidden until I hover my mouse over them. Is it possible to change the colors so that the options are always visible? It took me a while to find them! The layout is different on my phone, so this does not apply.

Very well synchronized to the words. I'd forgotten a couple of those scenes!

No, I don't speak Russian. But I do watch the OLYMPICS. Waylon from 'Comrade Duke'. Kensington Palace is a royal residence in London now owned by the King. Although it's the official address of several members of the British royal family, I don't think any of them currently live there.

Augie Detweiller was putting stolen racing engines in old JALOPIES.

Houses It's alleged that he never had a romantic relationship and died a virgin, so I guess that was his comeuppance for inflicting calculus upon us. On the plus side, he did design that cool Pink Floyd album cover.

It was the Spanish Grand Prix today, and Formula 1 is finally getting closer again. The three practice sessions were topped by three different drivers from three different teams, and none were Max Verstappen or Red Bull. McLaren's Lando Norris pulled out a near perfect lap to claim pole in qualifying. Mercedes' George Russell got a great start from third, and was in the lead after the first corner. It didn't take long for Max Verstappen to overtake him, and Max went on to win again, but there was plenty of close racing and overtaking behind. Pole-sitter Lando Norris was closing on Max in the final laps, but had to settle for second at the checkered flag. Lewis Hamilton got past his team mate, George Russell, to claim third place and his first podium of the year. There were discredited rumors online this week that Mercedes were sabotaging Lewis' car because he's leaving for Ferrari at the end of the season. I guess that this result proves that the rumors were untrue. You can see the 8-minute highlights here. Next weekend is Red Bull's home race in Austria.

All right! FREEZE it right there! Is it expensive getting hay out of jail?

From the 'Repo Men' quote that Skipper posted: "There was old Cooter, sticking out like a BOURBON BOTTLE at a country revival."

You mixed up the opening lines and missed a couple out there, Skipper. The scene is after the Dukes go past Rosco's road block while towing the Richard Petty race car. Cooter is in the race car. This is how it should begin: Bo: "Hang loose." Luke: "If I was any looser, I'd be sliding off the seat." Balladeer: "There was old Cooter, sticking out like a bourbon bottle at a country revival." Luke: "Watch out for the mailbox." Bo: "What mailbox?" Balladeer: "Meanwhile, old Rosco wasn't doing too hot..."

Didn't you see Tyler Reddick's #45 car? Looking again, the purple #23 of Bubba Wallace with Grimace on the side is pretty cool too.

Me too, but is Hamburglar still current in the US? I remember him from UK TV adverts in the '80s and '90s, but I don't think that I've seen him for over 20 years. Admittedly, I don't go to McDonalds very often these days. Maybe his criminal past caught up with him and he's been doing time in jail.

The team radios are open to the broadcaster in F1, but there is a short delay before selected exchanges are played to the public, which gives them time to bleep out bad language. The same is happening in others sports too. Rugby referees have had microphones for a while and I think soccer referees might have them too. Back in 2013, they decided to give microphones to the coxes of the annual Oxford/Cambridge boat race in London. One of them spent the whole race using swear words to encourage their crew. I think the lesson was learned there!

Rosco was always putting the Dukes UNDER arrest. Between people not putting their word in capitals and people just making comments, it can be very hard to follow this thread sometimes.

The Canadian Grand Prix started in very wet conditions, but only the two Haas cars started on full wet tires, with everyone else on the intermediates. Initially, it seemed like the right choice for Haas, but the track started to dry, and the advantage was gone. There were a couple of safety cars due to crashes (something we don't get very often these days), and through it all Max Verstappen managed to claim another win. His team mate, Sergio Perez (who's just signed with Red Bull for another two years), was one of those who didn't make the finish, along with both Ferraris. Behind Max were three British drivers, Lando Norris in the first McLaren and then George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in their Mercedes. Oscar Piastri was fifth in the second McLaren. You can see the race highlights here. It was obviously a bad weekend for Ferrari, but McLaren and Mercedes seem to be closing the gap to Red Bull. We have a two-week break now before three races in a row back in Europe at the Spanish, Austrian and British Grand Prix.

He's 94 - he can probably afford to retire by now!
