It says at the bottom of the screen that it's Console's birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONSOLE.

Are you having a party? If you are can we come?

Since the 18th century this has been used as a salutation to offer the hope that a happy day being marked would recur many more times. It is now primarily used on birthdays; prior to the mid 19th century it was used more generally, at any celebratory or festive event.

The first record O can find of it in print is in a letter written by Lady Newdigate in 1789 (published in Newdigate-Newdegate Cheverels in 1898):

"Many happy returns of ye day to us my Dr Love."

How come Chris didn't give Console the day off? I think that's just mean! I hope he at least took you out for a drink to celebrate your 22 years Console!
(Only 22? I feel really old now)
