Angry Holden Airship
Damn thing is buzzing around my house. It's giving me the irits!

I think it's doing some advertising for the local Holden dealer. Should go down there and tell them to get it out of here. How the hell can I now go out the front and polish my Falcon having to listen to that bloody thing flying around?

Well and truly sick of the sight of this thing after it's week long visit to Adelaide. Working in town was forced to look at it all day every day.

Does look pretty trick when it gets dark tho.

Lol oh and watching the thing try and put down on tall buildings... classic! She's not too stable, was waiting for the humanity!!!

I'm sure that my Grandfather's 303 rifle from the Korean war should suffice...
Unfortunately need to get my gun license first and then pinch the rifle off my Uncle.... who is a Holden fan...

It wasn't very high in the air. Throwing a dart might have hit it!

Who can up with the most original way to destroy it - aside from shooting it (which would be fun)... I am SICK of seeing it all weekend.... When we left the track on Sunday after the shocker race, disappointed, sad, etc.... there it was... bobbing obscenely over the track, shoving itself in our faces....

How would I destroy it? Id park it behind that jet, and then fly off in the jet with the afterburners on...

Gahhhh I remember this monstrosity when it was here in QLD - the premier actually said he would ban the use of blimps over sporting events because it was essentially piggybacking off paid sponsor space/time.

All we can hope is that maybe one day while it's buzzing around, there will be a huge electrical storm and it will get struck and blow up , that would make my day.

Or if it got caught up in a strong wind up draught, and got dragged away to the noth pole , that would be nice too . I hate the thing ! .

Although most of us would all love to see this thing come burning crashing to the ground, Im sure all of us wouldn't want someone to die or be injured from such an incident ;) .

Let us all hope that all onboard have parachutes then huh ..lol

I'm sure it was probably stationed out at Parafield Airport during it's visit here in Adelaide. Need to assemble a crack squad the next time it's here...
