While we haven’t a clue whether he likes the Murray River, we can confirm that Bob Murray was our 6th lucky winner of the Vietnam Swans/ Jim Beam Mega Raffle at The Office in Saigon last night.

There was a special feeling in the crowd last night. The Wallabies were playing the South Africans on the tele which hadn’t happened since Casper pulled in the Mega bottle a fortnight earlier.

It was also the Swans last draw before setting off for Bangkok and the Asian Champs next week. Reflecting the importance of the occasion, we asked previous winner, Jody of Kentucky fame, to hand over the Mega JB. 

It was then off on the Walk of Fame. Bob made it half way around the ground floor before pulling the equivalent of a hammy and he retired gracefully to the bar.

We asked Bob what he was thinking when his name was drawn: “I wasn’t really thinking of anything. But, I’m now thinking I will need to organise a big Truck Off! party with Mega Jim”.

With only a hint of ridicule in his voice, this ardent rugby supporter said that he was “so happy for Aussie Rules that you are playing in the Asian Champs”. But, there was no ridicule when he wished the Vietnam Swans, “Just the Best” in our inaugural campaign.

Congratulations Bob!
