Newbie First Post
G'day everyone. I've been aware of this site for about a year or so but only started lurking in earnest in the last week or so while researching a few possible leisure xONExen to do coming years.
Worked in a job where I did very little corporate travel until I retired but then did some consulting work for the last couple of years & acquired the taste for sitting around in metal cylinders and consuming HP and other beverages in the QP.
This is probably enough for a first post in case I've stood on any toes or committed any other indiscretions so back to lurking and learning for a while.

Welcome to the forums. ^ (from a semi newbie myself)
As you said you've been lurking for about a year, then you'll already know that there is a wealth of information to be gleaned from the "experts" here.
Look forward to hearing from you again. :-:

Welcome indeed SFSC. No need to be bashful as I think the boys and girls on this forum are mostly tame. Well, they can be a bit unruly at times and completely irreverent and irrelevant on many occassions but that's what makes it fun. Besides that you've mentioned QP and HP in your first post so it sounds like you will slip right in with no problems.

Take it from me, Mother was a great teacher in the art of getting pounced. 
and martynriddle was I'm sure talking about the number of HP's he had thus far consumed.
