    You'd be surprised what is sold in the sex industry!

    But you're correct, it would be a very small specialised market.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    My bad, i always assumed Rugby League Clubs would have both Genders ,and possibly a third. (Refer latest Jokes thread)
    Surely even Rugby League players have mothers
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Maybe NPWS should take this approach to smokers

    BEN: Oh, you'll probably get away with crucifixion.

    BRIAN: Crucifixion?!

    BEN: Yeah, first offense.

    BRIAN: Get away with crucifixion?! It's--

    BEN: Best thing the Romans ever did for us.

    BRIAN: What?!

    BEN: Oh, yeah. If we didn't have crucifixion, this country would be in a right bloody mess.

    BRIAN: Guards!

    BEN: Nail him up, I say!

    BRIAN: Guards!

    BEN: Nail some sense into him!

    As for smokers' rights, why is their right to smoke a more important right than my right to drive on whichever side of the road takes my fancy?
    Because driving on the wrong side of the road is against the law while smoking, at least at this stage, is not.

    I'm guessing its rugby reference, which I know nothing about.....

    ....so how about a joke along similar lines



    I see one of the most gorgeous women I've ever seen walking down the street, so I build up some courage and approach her. I ask her if she would have sex with me for $10,000.

    She thinks about and says she would.

    Now, my attraction is marginally outweighed by my love of money a bit, so as a tight ass I decide to haggle

    I then ask her if she would have sex with me for $100.

    Disgusted, she declares, “What kind of woman do you think I am?”



    I replied, “we have already established that, now I’m just negotiating price.”

    That doesn't alter the fact that I don't have the right to choose which side of the road I drive on.

    From Monday 7 January 2013, an amendment to the law (That is, the Smoke-free Environment Act 2000) will extend smoking bans to all public transport bus stops and stations in NSW.
    Smoking is already prohibited on trains and covered stations and this ban will now be extended to include all platforms and interchanges, regardless of whether they are covered or not.
    Updated station announcements and additional smoke-free signage will be rolled out to all stations early next year.
    The amendment to the Smoke-free Environment Act 2000 also bans smoking at a number of other outdoor areas including near children's playground equipment, spectator areas at public sports grounds and public swimming pools.
    No smoking at public transport stops and stations - CityRail
    Absolutely. The powers of Transit Police were not changed, neither were the Rail-related pieces of legislation. They can still only issue fines for offences under those acts.


    The Smoke-free Environment Act 2000 was what was amended, to both extend the coverage of public areas, and to add the authority of Police to issue fines. Read the act here: Smoke-free Environment Act 2000. Sect 14 and 14a lists who can enforce the act. Sect 14a was only added in Jan 2014.


    This article describes the limited powers that Transit Officers have.


    This does not mean that there are not fines for smoking on railway stations, only that Transit Officers are limited in where they can enforce them. Police can, and do, issue fines for smoking anywhere on Public Transport related infrastructure.
