haha i will NOT argue with that but fairs fair i cant argue with a new harness. I am thinking Nobile should design new boards called Dinky T5 with his cartooned picture on it.

A certain TV news channel have approached me for a story and filming him using the kite next week, looks like i will be away though. Who would have thought that it would go so far. Has made my day though :)

Charge them a $1000 as an appearance fee for dinky and you're one step closer to your new kite. I'm sure old Max (Lara Bingles agent) would be the agent but he may ruin your relationship with dinky to get the publicity.

P.s. damn impressive entry. I almost considered reporting it to the RSPCA to sabotage your entry and give us mere mortals a fighting chance in the comp. You had my vote as the best of the lot

Bad thing was when it got resized with the pixels it was ruined and youcouldnt see the graph charts or the actual chicken loops and donkey d and safety leash with all the little fittings so i was really peed off as didnt save the original then it was too late :(

I actually dropped my surname from the article so i didnt get done by the RSPCA or NPWS (lol)

It was alot of fun making the kite though and im really happy that Dinky didnt freak out and really loved posing and having a swim in the water. how many lizzards do you know that will stand still for 2 hours and just pose?

Crazy little dude he is... Nobile Dinky T5, i like it!

lol...i love the little drag marks in the sand. It looks just like someone has been learning to kite on the sand

What type of dragon is it? And what does he feed on?

The drag marks are from the kite when it kept launching and he had a hold of the bar and was all over the show (laughs)

He is a bearded dragon, central from NT.
He eats alot of veges and fruit, loves bugs and apparantly shortbread biscuits. Hes just over a year old now. I probably should register him in some agencies as he is really good with the camera and seems to like weird stuff. Got some great shots of him riding a fire engine and dressed up of santa. As Manny said i really do have way too much time on my hands lol
Here is a couple picks of him when he was a bit younger.

Someone should scan the full article from the Daily Telegraph Newspaper today. It was a massive article and looked very impressive. I like the full pictures, the entry on the competition pages was hard to get full detail of the dragon.

On another note ... I was watching a current afair last night and they were doing an article on the IPAD. The guy doing the demonstrating went to his list of favourite websites - First was google, second was facebook, third was seabreeze.

Yeah as i said the pixel resizing stuffe dit up and you couldnt seethe graphs or the smaller pics. But anyways it was loads of fun and that is the main thing :) I like the demonstrators logic, that probably is my 1-3 in same order of fav websites haha.

Yeah if someone has a scanner and can scan the article that be great i only have it on my phone. i sent it to Laurie to let know but didnt hear back so not sure if saw the article.
