ReplyDeleteHello John,
ReplyDeleteJ'ai cru comprendre que tu parlais français. J'aimerais bien te joindre pour un truc précis - à quelle adresse mail je peux t'écrire ? je ne suis pas trop habitué aux blogs...
Merci d'avance.

Bernie, they do have huge legs. Keguro, they may be a bit more graceful at times than football players, but don't count the men of the gridiron out, especially the ones in the backfield, the linebacking corps, the pass defense.... Back to those tree-trunk legs--and they also wear such short shorts (but they could be even shorter)! Ryan, it's better than candy, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh!
ReplyDeleteI was on vacation. Missed the Rugby pics. I do admire the physique (that is a polite way of saying what I really mean!) and I am busy trying to figure out how to start playing here. I got the weight now. Just need the exercise.
Owesome to see photos on Tana,
ReplyDeleteHe is up there on my list of Honourable people. He's a captain who led his Team with pride and high standards!
