The truncated balloon fiesta

13 March 2007 | By johnboy

The Canberra Times reports that for the cost of a statue of Al Grassby, the Balloon Fiesta has been cut back from a nine day event to a four day event.

Don’t you love this Government which gives you less of what you want and more of what you don’t?

Maybe it was just an old balloon

Nothing odd about them merging (not as if they were really separate anyway), it was just amusing that the balloon still has the old logos. However I’m sure it costs a small fortune to advertise on hot air balloons, and I can understand it not being updated.

And I thought the paragraph was self-explanatory…

Hey, SGS, what was so odd about the all the banks joining together?

None taken Thumper, it wasn’t meant to be serious anyway…just a bit of fun when the balloon came very close to a building.

SGS – you need to understand that CT need to wait for someone else to publish the news first.. otherwise they don’t publish it.
