Year of the Swans

Update (25/9)

I have a beautiful wife, 3 beautiful children. Despite my tender years I have been fortunate enough to travel the world, live in two of the greatest cities on the planet and experience far more than I ever thought possible.

And after being in Melbourne and witnessing first hand yesterday's events, I can now die a happy man*.

* Not that I'm planning on doing that any time soon, but it's good to tick off the important stuff early, just in case.

Congratulations mate! From what I heard it was a great grand final and the Swans played really well.

Eaglespeak, it's been 72 years since they last won the flag.

Thanks for the good wishes. What a game.

Let's see, three reasons for saying 40 years:
1. I assumed you are 40 and the 32 years before that don't count, or
2. 72 years in "Southern Hemisphere Years" are the same as 40 years in "Northern Hemisphere Years", or
3. my mistake - congratulations! 72 years is a long time to wait!

Lets hope we don't have to wait another 70 years.
