Bid for this near unique item
The Muldoon toby mug which I temporarily possessed after helping my team win a Muldoon era quiz night, is up for auction on Trade Me by its owner.
This is a great item. I have never seen another like it. It would look especially good in a National MP’s office, but also would be a guaranteed talking point on any mantlepiece.
A smart National electorate chair would buy it, and then re-auction it at the annual conference!

I still have a bottle of Merlot signed by Don Brash and Bill English that I paid a stupid amount of money for at a charity auction (it was a good cause and they would have got my money even if I didn’t buy the wine). Planning to pop the cork out of it on election night. Wanna buy it ?

‘Wonder if anyone has a Clark bed-pan?’
Yes, Fletch it’s called New Zealand
Ps is it just me or does that man look like he is missing a brain?

Burt, I have a bottle of Chardonnay ( so fitting ) signed by Mallard when he shut the local school. But I suspect it’s gone off by now, much like their polices.

expat: The mug seems to have a bit of a spout on it, which I imagine would cause the user to dribble. This suggests that it’s use by Labour MPs, who are already prone to dribbling nonsense, should be discouraged.

What does “near unique” mean David?
Is it something like “almost a virgin”?

So was Muldoon the first Hollow Man in the National Party?

These jugs were made by a potter in Nelson in 1979. I have one at home given
to me by him when I covered the story as a reporter for TV 1. He told me he
made them to get back at Muldoon for a tax on arts and crafts. He also made it
two-faced, as befits most politicians. Look at it from one side and ol’ Rob is
smiling, from the other, that familiar scowl. There must be quite a few of these still
in existence, because I saw many of them in the kiln, lined up like Rowling’s nightmare!

His tongue-in-cheek way of getting revenge for an arts and
crafts tax. I’ve got one at home.
I saw them in the kiln, lined up in the flames like Rowling’s
nightmares.
