Good stuff Dennis ;)

One of the funniest things I've heard was at a WPHS meeting once where a number of old bushies where forced to attend. Some beauracratic muppet was droning on in a patronising tone about some trivial gumph when this grizzled old cow cocky stood up and said "Look . . . If we were all as incompetent as you'd have us believe, we'd all just be torsos draggin' ourselves around by our teeth by now." :lol:

I suffer great concern that my fingers might get caught in the keyboard :roll: or my false teeth could be in a nasty mood and bite me :shock:

Yeah Ross mines are dangerous and most of the blokes I knew were conscious of it and
used their common sense.
Marty I had a similar experience when dairy farming when WH&S were starting to interfere
with us. What, with deregulation and drought to contend with it was just about the last straw.
(actually I wrote a poem about it (well with a bit of exageration thrown in :) - will post one day))
Maureen - be afraid - be very afraid :)

Hi Dennis,
You'd enjoy our kind of prospecting, the only rule is to try and do the right thing by your mates.
Mind you, mining regulations are a different ball game, Native title, environmental issues, The list goes on and on.
