Wangi

Just to say - again - a million thanks

for finding the film about the ageing Welsh and New Zealand rugby internationals who had to replay the game 20 years on.

I am getting it from New Zealnd - ON VHS, what's more

for Himself's Christmas present. I got in touch with the New Zealand film people through the site you found. I've been trying to get for his Christmas present for years!!!

I owe you ..........

Is Jay back with us yet? I was just wondering when she'd reappear.

Jay sent me an email, asking me to pass on Christmas & New Year wishes... So consider them passed on!

Only just back from a wee break myself.

Thanks to everyone for their interest - the video was an absolute hit -

probably the best Christmas present I've ever given him!

So a million thanks to wangi again

(and for posting my Seasonal Wishes) - My Other Half says that next time he's in Portobello he owes you a a pint - or several -so do I!

I was a bit apprehensive

when we started to look at it, that it wouldn't be as good as I remembered

It was almost 14 years ago that I saw it .... However, it was brilliant - hilariously funny, all the right resonances for an ex-rugby player, and also - something I had not remembered - it features real members of Wales and the All Blacks from the 1960's/70's - so it was just a total winner

Himself was quite amazed at how I got hold of it - I am still quite astonished, after wanting to get it for him for years

Made my New Year too
