What the World Was Like Last Time New South Wales Won An Origin Series

[Mister Wright]

1. John Howard was Prime Minister of Australia
2. Peter Beattie was Premier of Queensland
3. George W. Bush was President of the USA
4. Tony Blair was Prime Minister of Great Britan
5. Roger Federer only had 6 Grand Slam Titles (now 16), Rafael Nadal 1 (now 10), Novak Djokovic made his Grand Slam debut in 2005.
6. Shane Warne & Glenn McGrath were still part of the Australian Cricket Team & Michael Vaughan was still full time captain of the English test side.
7. The IPL was yet to run its innagural tournament.
8. Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston were still married.
9. Powderfinger were yet to release their last two albums and have since broke up.
10. The Transformers Franchise had yet to release their first movie.
11. Myspace was more popular than Facebook & a tweet was something a bird did.

Feel free to add your own to the list.

Funny to think that the same night that NSW last won a series, it was announced that London was to host the 2012 Olympic games. And we are now only a couple of months out from those Olympic games and they haven't won since!

I almost forgot about John Howard, it has been that long.

Come to think of it I think I was in year 10... I finish my bachelors degree in like 2 weeks... Holy shit that was so long ago.

Yeah, I read that in an article yesterday and thought it was fairly astounding considering how long it is between each olympic games.
