I’m assuming this is Sunday 21st Feb as Feb 24 is a Wednesday ???

Danman looks like a homosexual now? Well, there are worse fates than looking cute, groomed, nicely-muscled, and well-dressed!

Saw the copter. Twas a good gig, apart from being supplanted by the pipe band.

There’s an “I Hate Cars with Frangipani Stickers” (or something like that), group on Facebook for all those who need some therapy.

I didn’t make it to the Open Day. Anyone go see the ‘copter? Did you stick a frangipani sticker on the window while no one was looking?

A work colleague and I were always wondering about those frangipani stickers.

We researched it and I think on a Cosmo forum someone said it indicated that the car was being driven by single female.

I told Mrs Danman and her and her deviant friend put some stickers on the rear of the falcodore hoping I would get the shits.

There they remain – to spite her, all the while I look like a homosexual man 🙂

Those stupid frangipani stickers remind me of the much-more-useful fly-killing stickers. I wonder if the frangipanis have some secret, sinister powers? Perhaps they broadcast mind-beams at the drivers, to stop them from buying Hyundais and Lancers.

Hahaha so true.

Adza, the delicate Bluebell (Canberra’s official flower), is nothing like a bright pink, yellow or orange frangipani.

Still think a lovely mauve coloured chopper with big bluebell flowers painted all over it would be super cool, but many would disagree I’m sure.

Just go to Autobarn or Super Cheap and buy those stupid stick on flowers you see on cars!! 🙂

Wonder if there’ll be a raffle to win a ride? I seem to remember there was one a number of years ago…

Vividly recall the helicopter naming competition they held all those years ago. My suggestion was “Bluebell”. Still think a lovely mauve coloured chopper with big bluebell flowers painted all over it would be super cool, but many would disagree I’m sure. Anyway, it sounds like a good day out – hope the weather is fine for all involved. We’ll be there.

Come along and support a worthy cause while catching some great music. First up at 10.15am is the Canberra City Band Small Jazz Combo – a quintet made up of the CCB Big Band Spectrum rhythm section and vocals. Don’t miss it!
