Family tree status Hi my Dad checked and emailed this back to me: we are not connected to them, but their William arrived in NZ in the same year as ours, and initially I thought their William had to be ours. Their William was a juvenile criminal who had committed some petty crime and his sentence was to be transported to NZ. Hope this helps and you aren't shocked to hear you have a petty criminal in the family!
Cheers

William Astle Wondering if your from Williams line, came over in the 1800s with the Parkhurst boys...My grandfather is Tukarawa Astle son of Thomas who is Williams son..have been trying to trace back on Williams side but have had heaps of unanswered emails. Anyway pls get back to me even if it isnt just so i know to move on lol.Thanks
Hi Ryan,
I read your comment about San Sebastian and felt to point something about nudity in our beaches. It is totally legal to do nudity in all the beaches of San Sebastian, as well as in the small beach of Santa Clara island. We -locals- don´t have any problem with it, because you can go nude or not. So, I don´t see why you were "shocked" of seeing a man nude on the beach. Freedom rights are high in Spain, Basque Country and in San Sebastian, so I aware you that nudity doesn´t "shock" in our city. And I hope you enjoyed your stay in Donostia.
I hope some day you -kiwis and americans- find a more liberal way of living life.

definitely a jumbalicious day Such a fabulous day! and rambunctious is also a fabulous word. So glad we got to hang out at Cap D'Ail. It was a great day playing cards underneath umbrellas on the beach, and it was good meeting up with you guys in Paris the night before I went home. Hope all is well at home!
Great toast mate. It brought tears to me eyes and I'm sure it was almost as poignant a moment as when I tried to bust it out on our boys campervan trip. I think you all called me a fag and someone even dealt me a fearsome blow to the forehead. You are all a pack of unsophisticated swine.
Love the pirate outfits as well! Ooohh arrrggg indeed.
justice ahhh lucky you filled in the last sentence about my win. Just to clarify Nathan's spew details - he didn't close the bag, it was just a lucky drop - and hopefully he didn't pick up my bra for the stomach expulsion, I think it hit the things by accident - although it was drenched. He did well.
You gaggy bastard Ha ha you rang me up from that pub in Edinburgh and kept going on about the fact that you were obese and had just been king-hitted by Jesus. I had no idea what you were talking about but now it all makes sense....
Did you whip the shoes off? 2005 is all about now wearing shoes mate
Awesome Blog Hi Ryan,
What an awesome blog! Great to hear what you have been up to and wicked stories. I especially like the one about your friend who was coming to pick you up and his air bags went off - that sounds absolutely classic and would've been hilarious to see!!
Sounds like you are having an awesome time - when are you heading back to London?
All the best & keep on having lots of fun,
Em & Rich
