No it's not GeminiDreams,
It's made up of a package that workers receive when working in remote area's when It's about 50*.
I was in Mackay QLD 4 years ago and they advertised for tradesmen starting @ $90,000.00.
Sub-contractors were earning base rate of $140,00.00 plus penalties, etc.
Mate Im a manager on a goldmine, Ive got a fair idea what the going rates are. $900 a day is over $200k per year which is out of the range of most labourer types unless you are working underground for which you are paid idiot money.
I asked my wife about the cost of a tombstone and she said a nice one is about 10,000 UAH ($US1,200). $6000 to spend on a tombstone is ridiculous, if you have that much money to throw away give it to a charity and help the living, the dead dont give a shit.
Danny I rarely get involved in too many arguments here, I just put in my two bobs worth when i have information or experience that I think will help. I wish more people would take that approach instead of long running boring feuds.
I liked Noogas input because he was pretty funny. Im still not sure whether he was naive or just taking the piss but it was entertaining anyway which the constant bickering here is not.
In saying this I would make the following comment on your last post. You may indeed care about the deceased person and I wasnt really being disparaging about that. Basically if someone is so vain they need or want some outstanding monument to their memory it is usually for them to make the financial committment for it.
For you to want to do this is more you trying to tell others (family, friends, whoever you are trying to convince of your feelings)how you valued this person. The reality is they wont appreciate that as much as having a group meal, pissup, wake or other celebration of love, friendship and life and how that person positively had an impact and what they meant to all. Cold hard stone doesnt do justice to a memory unless you go over the top and do a Taj Mahal.
BERLIN - Caught in the buff, a drunken 19-year-old Australian man led German police on a chase through Munich’s main train station late Wednesday before slipping on a wet floor where he was later apprehended unhurt.
The Sydney native wore only his shoes and held his underwear in his hand during the chase in freezing temperatures, a spokesman for the Bavarian state police said.
The teenager quickly changed into his underwear once he fell and police later covered him in a blanket.
During questioning the teenager told police that he was carrying out a bet with friends that he could travel through Europe naked. The Bavarian capital was the 11th city on his tour and the first in which he was caught out, according to police.
“I simply like to be naked,” the police spokesman quoted him as saying. The Australian teenager was fined 100 euros ($132).
