HK, had one of those outboard flags but wasn't as visible as some. G-string is seen at a glance anywhere, though probably not necessary in the dayglow
orange. Heard from one guy that his jocks were easily seen too. LOL
Do you need it round
Melbourne and Moorabbin? I know some guys round that area are easily seen.

Funny that you should say that your out board flag wasn't visible.
We used one one when crossing the Simpson ( exactly 12 months ago lol) and got comments on how visible it was from a 4wd club we encountered crossing at the same time.
After seeing the dirty red ones and later the Qld parks guys with the 'white' hanky I could see their point !

Anyone seen my black lace suspender belt? Oh yes, and my mulberry silk French knickers - they went into the Simpson and never returned.
Hello Mrs Slave. Hello JR - get your g-string back, you naughty boy.

Hi Ruth
We didn't met last year but you did meet Slave. Hope you don't have a couple fornication on the gravel after the game like we had to put up with last year. He nearly missed out as he didn't carry a condom in his wallet but she relented and gave in to his pleading then walked him home afterwards.
i was just hoping the kids didn't wake up to the moans and groans. At 15 I think our daughter would have realised what the noise was but our 11 year old son would have said it was gross/ dirty or something similar LOL
Slave has gone to
Melbourne to watch the game this year but going by the score at the moment he will be as unhappy as he was last year.....

I think out outboard flag was held on at a corner but it didn't seem all that visible. Size may have been part too.
Ruthie, I didn't know they were your flags on Willie's wog pole. Actually it was a Disco I heard about with the jocks flying. Driver, a Victorian by the name of John.LOL
I do wonder what Mr and Mrs Slave were up to,........ fornicationg couples on the gravel indeed. Yeh, I know it is said not them! You did meet Mr Slave apparently, though not under the clothes line. ;-)

You may, or may not believe this, but a black flag will show up against the sky better than dayglo.
That is why cray fisherman use black flags on their cray-pots.

Yeah, I use two flags on
mine for that reason. I have a black pirate flag and I also use a bit of cut up
orange workmans fluro vest. The whole vest was about $10 from the army disposal
shop and you can make a heap of flags out of it.

Opposite Lock stocks the whole shebang for the mining industry. Cost is from about $95.00 to $145.00 They sell the little DayGlo flags for $10.00. It looks like material cut from a safety vest.
