Good Bastards Hall of Fame

W P Condon, also known as Bill, is the original Good Bastard, Coming up 88 in May this year; he is the patron of Good Bastards. Also famous for being the father of Pat Condon and his three sisters Rose, Carmel and Jennifer and husband to Molly.

I have known Bill since as far back as I can remember. He too hails from the mighty Franz Josef where he was a prominent grazier and I was, by many folks estimation, a spade short in the tool shed. Not that that should reflect on Bill in any way.

With Molly, he now lives in Hokitika and enjoys an occasional glass of the great Grouse Whisky.

Bill has been frequenting the Good Bastards Days from the beginning and everyone enjoys his company and wit.

He has many a great tale to tell about his days in South Westland and we all like to hear them.

I called on him last week and left him with a six-pack of Good Bastards Dark Ale.

"Just what I need to get me fit enough to make the journey to Nelson and see Pat and Linda’s new house." He told me.

Bill Condon is a living legend and a thorough gentleman. And by the powers he’s a Good Bastard.

Congratulations on being admitted to the Good Bastards Hall of Fame.
