Rockin' flowers

Our great leader is going to be rather busy tomorrow with first his meeting with Muslim leaders and then he’s catching up with the Australian music icon that is Molly Meldrum.

The pair are launching Floriade — at ScreenSound since there will be very little to see at Commonwealth Park — and this year’s theme is “Rock’n’Roll in Bloom”.

Any guesses as to bed designs?

Or even some guns made from roses…

I know; that sucked. I call that a “Dad’s Joke” and you’re guilty as well Thumper.

Cheers Sambo! I’ve worked hard to become so.

Take it in good humour and let it go. I’m dying to know who it is though, so spill the beans and put us all at ease that there is nothing weird going on.

Perhaps you have a love child from a young, carefree relationship? Or perhaps you have a pet dog seconded to the drug squad in Sydney?

Bonfire & Bulldog, you are both truly pathetic. Kimba’s comment did at least seem to have a sense of humour.

Are you marrying your cousin?

Certain interstate person being a relative of mine…and my direct family are all in Canberra

I thought Samuel meant Molly!!! Something going on there???

Why not combine Floriade with the National Dirtbike Championships?

A couple of weeks of bulbs, then put the big dirt mounds to a different use.

i think samuel means HIS MUM!

when im chief minister i’ll replace floriade with an enormous skid pan and sponsor a national burnout festival that lasts two weeks.

I go to Floriade, and the theme this year sounds fun. My baby likes to look at all the pretty flowers, it’s a nice walk in the park, and there’s often music and stuff on at the same time.

A certain interstate person Samuel?

I usually make it to Floriade once every few years…I might go if a certain interstate person goes as well.

Samuel

floriade is a gross waste of public money. arent there hospital waiting lists or something…

Id Molly is involved I am sure the beds will have pink sheets and pillow cases!

I’m looking for a huge bed made to look like Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon” but I’d settle for Maiden’s “Fear of the Dark”. Incidently, both of these covers feature trees, which is how I sort of tied it in.

Once agaon; how many locals go to Floriade? I might be wrong but I thought it was really the domain of the ‘Grey Army’…

I would expect (based on what I heard of John Laws interviewing Meldrum this morning) that it will be mainly based around significant musical people & groups.

Samuel

certainly a shortage of leather, cocaine, and vomit.

If so, I suspect they’d have to start sniffing around now, if not months ago. These things seem to get tied up reasonably early.

Anyways, garden beds: I’m betting a large golden guitar will be there somewhere (nevermind that it’s country, not rock)

K

might be some good opportunities for local musos to get some taxpayer lucre.
