John Laws exited stage left this morning.
For those of you who may suffer withdrawal symptoms from the absence of the dulcit tones of the golden comb-over, to follow are some highlights from this morning’s long goodbye:

Laws had an extraordinarily good radio voice. Living in a country town you would often hear it in stores and cafes and it had a penetrating quality that made it very hard to ignore. Given the absolute garbage he spoke that was very, very unfortunate.
Libby; thank you! :), :), :)!
Drat. I’ve lost it. Did John Laws actually write that long turgid piece of cr*d? To read it is like watching a stoned dero crossed with that nauseating dirge ‘True Blue’ whilst attempting to tango with a member of the Exclusive Brethren.
…… hehehehhehe Venise that was so well said. I found it nauseating but could not have it expressed it as well as you did….. brilliant 🙂
