Rod Vaughan had no brains and was a prat. It does not require a high IQ to realise that when someone puts the ‘gone fishing’ sign up he or she wants to be at peace with himself or herself, to commune with nature and to meditate. I suppose nowadays Rod Vaughan would call himself a ‘victim’ and demand that TVNZ or ACC pay for counselling, etc because Bob deflated his big ego.

Oh, no one thought to mention at the time how the expense of hiring a helicoptor could be justified. Perhaps TVNZ had their advertisers over a barrel and had money to burn.

Johnboy, the one detailing the accomplishments of the first year of the 1972 elected Labour Govt. is, I think, the book you refer to.

Great book, perfect summation.

The White Mouse did not become leader until later.

I thought his best book was the one recounting the achievements of Wallace Rowling.

Maybe Bob should write a similar one on Phil Goof.

More of us need to be like him. Its fun and its also serious. Always there is an independent freedom loving message PC attacking message.
Without Jones and his message NZ would have had a Clakesque Muldoon for ever.

NZ’s best by far.

His novels, particularly Full Circle and Ogg are worth reading not once but several times, compilations of his columns, while out of date, are always a fun read and the man himself saved NZ from the “mad bastard Muldoon”.

Jones is damn good fun, I bet he is not nearly as sexist as he makes out. The point being Jones KNOWS when he is being sexist but he does it anyway just for fun.
