Benildus Rules!

We received the following photo and message from old boy and "media star/personality" Paddy Gower recently. Good to know the "green fire" still burns for some old boys.

Hi guys,

Out at Airspresso over the weekend. I saw the legendary Jim Hickey from that rival network TVNZ. What a legend, clearing tables on a Sunday.

Anyway in typical Paddy-style I rocked up for a yarn, saying his sister Mary-Jane taught me French.  

Of course we talked Benildus - he was captain in '68 and me in '94... The best House, and a production house for broadcasters... 

Conrad Smith of course was a Benildus man and while he may have won the World Cup he has not attained the honour of captaining Benildus like Jim and I!!!

I must say yarning to him I wondered if predicting the weather might be more fun than trying to predict politics ! 

Cheers and keep up the good work
