Also the "no alcohol permitted on site", unless the rest of theworld has had a loss of common sense.

My first thought was "There's building sites where booze is permitted??"

Makes sense to me. How else will I know who to call?

I wish it had an area code, though. I don't know which state's phone numbers start with a six.

germany. alcohol on german sites is or at least used to be quite obligatory. more and more companies are now banning alcohol but thereĀ“s still a significant number of drunks builiding our houses.

Does anyone know what an "explosive powered tool in use" means?

Probably a tool that uses an explosive charge to drive pins or rivets.

Most likely its from one of the many "dry" mining sites out in the back of nowhere in WA.

No alcohol allowed on the site. The site, is of course about 100 sq km.

Correct. Most of the ones you'll see use blank .22 shorts.

Any of them.

The '6' prefix is because the '9' range is filling up to much.

It being the porn capital of the country only matters if you're in the industry. ;)

I am still quite young, and not into pron (15yo), so I asked my dad. He said (as I guessed) that the pron industry is quite oppressed, pushed into the industrial areas, whilst in Europe (where I and my family was born and lived for quite some time), you can find extreme hardcore pron in newsagencies, and on places like train stations.

Same with China, but not homosexual stuff (homosexuality is considered illegal in China, since the Mao rulership). While I was there last, I saw pron on the market streets where little kids roamed after school.

I personally don't go for pron - guess it is not my thing, but the stuff exists, but if you wanna purchase pron, go to Spain, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Norway. Also, Tiawan, China, and Japan. The underlined ones being the best.

Anything else?

No, that's plenty. And you've got a kickass avatar. Kilrathi? Or ... what? Aslan? The Kzin?
