Holden Blimp

Last week my hubby went up in the Holden Airship (blimp) and was bowled over with the experience. He said it was like sailing, and in fact you ride the breeze, including turbulence.

One of the radio jocks here, mentioned it on air last week too, said his wife said "Look at the blimp! It's awesome" and he said "No! It's a big ad," and he refused to look at it. FFS!

Now hubby organised through a lot of string pulling to get this radio jock up in the air, but this bloke has again refused, saying "it's just an ad" oh come on now, get over yourself and the high moral ground, and take the opportunity when it's offered. Makes a great story over dinner if nothing else?

I can't understand people who are so pure and moral that they cant bear to sully themselves with a grand opportunity when you are given one on a plate.

Obviously we know that he cant mention the blimp on air, that’s wasn’t the bloody point, we don’t need to push Holden’s advertising along, not our problem, we were just being friendly and open.

Hey radio jock, don’t get a nosebleed perched up on the higher moral ground.

Sheeesh!

You just can’t help some people.

Saving water? Do both the federal and state governments think putting water restrictions on the general public will solve our water crisis?
Industry and farmers use most of the water and yes we need both, they just need to manage it far better. The evaporation from Open channel irrigation uses almost as much water as gets pumped onto the crops. Are we so well off that we can grow crops like rice, wheat, and almonds for export? We should grow what we consume first then look at the resources we have. Its not crops we sell its water, sounds left field? Think about it. The government needs to take the hard line, build dams if necessary, and make industry more responsible. Don’t put the blame on the householders totally. Why won’t they do this? Because it’s not a vote catcher.
