ngakonui grass Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thats the title of a Duncan Grieve interview with Mr Leo Molloy. Gives a great insight to his life. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was on MSN lifestyle,and Mr Molloy was described as Best Host,Worst Enemy. Duncan Grieve is with The Spinoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Interesting read. I wouldn't be surprised if the subject of the interview is rather regretting allowing it to be published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Saved the best until the end "To them he represents another, far less beloved New Zealand archetype: a stunted adolescent and a cruel, pitiless bully" Ouch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known Leo on and off since the late 1970s. I wouldn't say we are close but we understand each other pretty well. Every year or two he calls me for a chat. It is always interesting and thought-provoking. One thing perhaps the article doesn't emphasize is his intelligence. He would be off the scale in terms of IQ but that is no guarantee of a smooth ride or a trouble-free life. This explains a lot of his success from jaws of failure. I identify a lot with what Leo is like. I 'm just a lot more muted than he is probably due to the difference in our upbringings. haha. Never had a bad meal or experience at his establishments from the Fat ladies Arms to HQ. A great host. He is a national treasure of sorts - but yes, sure - don't fuc* him off ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 He may well be very intelligent. What he doesn't (publicly) accept is that he is still often wrong and plainly stupid. Inside, he knows it, otherwise his supposed IQ is nowhere near what some think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
