Silverstone naming the Start/Finish straight as the "Hamilton Straight". I'm sure he's pretty chuffed, no driver (I think) has ever had that accolade in Silverstone naming any part of the circuit after anyone.

It was bizarre. I mean I know it's not an everyday word, but equally it's hardly the most obscure. Especially given that cryptography has been fairly frequently in the news in recent years, thanks to cyber security, crypto currencies etc. It was as if he'd never encountered the word before. Most odd.

Haha, it just reminded me of when my mate and I used to fuck around as kids, typing into the Amiga Voice/Speech OS. Which would usually translate some words in odd ways. We were easily amused  Cheesy
