I noticed they don't list an animal for the nations symbol. Seems odd that they don't.

Ok Thanks Rappy1
If you have or can find a link to that news article I would be very interested and so would a few of my mates as well, we did hear that rumor, but we have not been able to find any info- I've done the usual searches on Google etc and nothing listed,,

Yes I hovered the Rex in my shed on Sunday arvo!! :) She goes well at about 1 meter high and virtually hands off hover for approximately 30-40 seconds so she is trimmed and balanced to perfection, I'm very happy with the way she flies!! :) It was too hot and windy to go down the park unfortunately :( maybe latter this week.

Cheers Ralph

Big mac hunger buster. I don't no what it is, do you think we are getting ripped off down this end of the world, I mean i have had mcdonalds a hell of a lot giving i am under a km from one yet my weight has not changed (mind you my heart and other systems are probably going down sh$t creek) Maybe our american friends get decent servings.

Hey Ralph, did you watch the cricket last night, I saw oz bat but then started to watch the tenis,
It must of been a good game, I was expecting New Zealand to not make 200, they must of pulled something out of the bag

[blax1]

No I didnt watch that game, I think we got out of jail by 9 runs would have been a good game,
but I watched Federer sort out Conzalez :)
