I've worked in heavy industry and mining most of my life, and have seen enough dismembered people to last a lifetime. Loggers with nasty, nasty chainsaw injuries. Sawmill workers whose limbs ended in the woodchip hopper. Arms caught in all kinds of hungry machinery. Shunters who stepped off moving trains to pull points, slipped and were sliced in half. Open pit mining blasts gone wrong. Guys buried by underground roof falls. 150 tonne coal haul trucks upside down at the bottom of 100' drops. I was on the mine rescue team that pulled out 12 guys killed in an underground explosion. Three of those guys played on the town rugby team with me.

I have a pretty strong stomach, but I wouldn't do Tiffles' job for a $1m salary. You go, girl.

wow thanks guys. i wouldnt cope after all that either. it helps that i dont actually see the person, and mostly it all looks quite surgical and clean. still deciding whether to give post mortums a go, not at this stage, we'll see what 12 months of chemicals does to my brain. :)

my bongo! he is still at home and i am here to visit him and my parents, am looking for another house in bris, the first didnt work out.

but yes everyone in the lab now knows about ernie ball! :D most of them arent really very creative though. you hear the same thing "id love to play an instrument, i tried once and didnt do very well". music is a completely different language to them.

anyway hopefully ill find a band in the next couple of weeks and us aussies will get our acts together about a meet up eh?

jack glad i havent missed the arrival

Good luck on the house and band search. Hope that Bongo helps keep your stomach strong.
