I thank you for the congratulations but I dunno if it was the right thing to do. Lots of people here say that they're emigrating for the benefit of their children and, by comparison with their cousins, being the children of immigrants has benefitted mine. Whether or not we need have come here to beat the kids into winning at school is less than clear.

Well regardless of how you feel, congratulations.

I'm pretty sure even you would admit the 28 years have not been a total write off.

They've certainly had their moments.

Still,

Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened

perhaps I coulda bin a somebody. It's always felt a cop out moving here.

Well you don't need to be ecstatic about it to have a few bottles of wine as a celebration

Well done for hanging in there though

Well, I think congrats are in order so I offer them heartily, and you could raise a glass to the next 28, or work out your exit plan, whichever suits.

Cheers

Congrats (I think).... I'm impressed that after 28 years you still remember the date, some people can't remember their wedding anniversary after that long - must have left in impression at least!

It is a long time, but I started out before I was born, so I'm not so old even now.
