Well David, I'd normally offer to buy the new guy a beer as a welcome gift, but in accordance with leap year math, I'm not legally able to until 2084.

All the same, welcome :)

Well I've broken that rule as I have taken two license tests (failed both :rant:) so I guess I can get a beer in 2021 or earlier depending on the kind of mood my dad is in :naughty:
