..the owner of the Museum Hotel just sold it for $28 million and keeps his apartment in it, and his wealthy collection of Kiwi art. A typical success story à la Dick Smith in OZ, but in this case it's seems just a little closer.

McCullum again makes a wrong decision
in an unbeatable situation

who were unpopular Commies in the fifties, and was a result of this colourful union. He married a Maori, fathered two boys, now lives off the meagre proceeds of his five dollar poetry books, all made from recycled stuff, spouting his homilies and having his rants.

He is fifty-five and reckons tobacco is his only friend, but both his parents are alive in their nineties.
Dave, rolling his own outside..
