Uh, I 'think' that they were all killed/but I wasn't there

I guess the only one I know is "what does BHP stand for ". But I guess I have the privilege of drilling a few holes for them , besides there mining which is huge they have quite a large exploration footprint in the oil and gas industry. Now the rest I never learned my exposure kept me away from the locals mostly. Tc

MisterMoo, you are now officially a Bruce. Just saying......
Good thing you omitted the Aussies. They would shred this thread!

My knowledge of Australia comes solely from the following.

Those giant cans are all but unknown in Aus - they only see them here. It was a clever marketing ploy intended for the US. Australians, tormented by mobile DUI enforcement and booking busses, are cautious about consumption. The so-called "stubbie" (about a six ounce can) is commonplace.

He lives on a Tasmanian beer label now - a majorly hoppy, stellar pilsener. One of my favorites, equal to the finest Czech/German pils in my view.
