Your job sounds ideal. When I retire and if I stay in Australia I would like to be involved with the club in some capacity. I just don't work for free. :)

If you're lucky, start ground set up at 7am on a Saturday and you might get a bacon and egg roll and a coffee for free, well worth it :D

Seeing the kids happy is the bonus

There you go we have one thing in common.

Lebanese would be close to my favourite food too. Grew up next door to a large catholic Lebanese family in the hills district. Are everything from home slaughtered goat to kids swimming pool wine and what seemed like 10% proof home distillers arak.

I certainly wouldn't have been one of the people calling avenger a Mediterranean_Descendant at school. My best mates all were.
Eels supporters too, mind you in the hills in the early 80s who wasn't?

Only problem is that I've never been able to find tabouli so good, or restaurants that make some of those dishes. I like the raw kibbeh for sure. It's just that some places serve it Inassive piles, and colder than room temperature which is a bit off putting. They used to make stuffed zucchini and vine leaves which were up with the best dishes I've ever had.

Actually 2. We both follow the Eels. I just hate them when we lose. Plenty of carbs in Lebanese food. Are you sure you aren't fat ? :D

For mine, Indian then malaysian then chinese (but it has a large range) then lebanese food. Worked in Kingsgrove for a short contract and they had alot of lebanese people working there. The breakfast was so filling that I could not eat lunch.

Pete, I'm not calling you a show off. I love to read people's experiences. Im just saying that some people are allowed to and some can't. It's cool, I'm tongue in cheek most of the time anyway. At first I couldn't stand Pou, now I like the prick. It's going to take more time with Bigfella. I feel like Pi on that raft with the tiger.

Mate, I never take offence at what anyone posts or thinks about me. Life is to short to sweat the small stuff.
I am happy with my lot in life.

To quote Popeye "I yam what I yam and tha's all what I yam."

Yes, ok? I'm a fat merkin!

This joke has run its course...

I will be moving up in my company soonish. Pretty stoked.

Hopefully when all my father's estate stuff is finally sorted, I can use the money to buy a place and study something. I always wanted to go back to studying, but I can't do it at the moment. I sleep on a mattress in the floor at my mum's house. Bloody lawyers - charge a fortune.

Have I answered this question before. I am a support droid.

As for Labor supportesr, thank the gods I am not part of Labor or the Greens, I am apparently more progressive than both of them :/

Thanks!

Been a long time - he died three years ago. Really frustrating that three years later I'm still bleeding money to those lawyers, but on the plus side, it's almost done. And I can get my life back on track.

And for some reason, people at work like me, which is good for my career prospects!

Me too....

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
