Message from Jules

Hey Rauru,

How are you mate and how are the stallions, still going strong?
The UK was great with a couple of interesting twists and turns thrown in.

What have you been up to?

I am back in NZ but building with the old man in the Wai at the moment but my girlfriend is coming over from the UK in the end of July and we will base ourselves in Welly.

I get down a bit on wkends and would be good to catch up and maybe even try and jump on the footy field later in the season when I am back in Welly.

Hope all is well and say hi to the boys for me.

Jules..

I've also just a look at some of the old posts from when the blog first started. Some funny moments on there. Have a look if you ever get bored (or are on school holidays and have all the time in the world!)

Twinkle, twinkle little star

Sometimes the stars align perfectly - we are 1 short for Saturday, Jules's departure to London has been delayed - allowing for one last game and a decent send off for everyone's favourite Stallion. I expect to see a Fleming-like guard of honour. Perhaps we should retire the number 8 shirt?

A chance for 1 last pony? How many twinkles will we see? How many turtles? Will strippers and party pills stop our hero from making it to the ground? Did Steve ever get his gin?

So many favourite Jules stories:
- 18 year old Jules comes to play cricket for the 1st time, steps out of a red convertible driven by his glam 30 year old gf.
- A new member to the cricket team saying 'is that Jules? - back in Wairarapa he and Jesse Ryder were the stars of schoolboy cricket!' This story is much, much funnier if you have seen Jule's batting (well, stepping outside off to protect his precious body and swinging really hard).
- The aforementioned stripper.

Most of these stories are cricket related - surely there are some football ones I am missing?

Anyway, Jules is back - oh yeah, and he needs some boots - anyone got any spare size 10s? (come on, he's having a laugh - he can't be size 10).
