Jonno your dead wrong. Everyone that knows the lifesaver and Iv known the fool for years knows he personalizes and dramatizes everything and now he is in front of a reality television camera his everything in life is about creating drama that presents himself as big man on the block. Guy is an idiot. An absolute idiot. Just a big noting irrelevant nobody. He personifies everything wrong in living in a self imposed bubble of importance when the reality is, is he is simply a nondescript man that's unfortunately fell in front of reality TV camera.

No Brian; slated for the reason he is a repeat offender when it comes to putting kids in unsafe situations. Staggers belief that you and others condone someone who does this sort of stuff?? The Herald pictures tell a different story: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/image.cfm?c_id=1&gal_objectid=10715998&gallery_id=117610#7486658 . This could have all gone terribly wrong!
