First day rocked up, place was a shithole. There was a weatherboard house out the back with a "Hills Have Eyes" family living in it. Two of the guys "working" there were part of that family.
They told me I could badge any car I wanted, so to appease them I did, and ditched the Ford badge of an XD in the bin at home. What the f**k am I gonna do with that?
After a week of being cold, wet and dirty, the boss (who hadn't even actually talked to me yet) called me into his office. He asked me if I was considering it a career choice after the experience, and I said "probably not."
His response was something like, "Yeah, I wouldn't either. It's shit."
Place closed down about a year later I think. Google Street View says it was a furniture place by 2008, and my WE was in 2004.

Remember having a blast playing with the kids for a few days, was a career option for me given how much I enjoyed it, but not long later I discovered I enjoyed drinking more, and the two probably weren't a good fit.

I got to go out and do a few stories with players like Darren Smith and others who were joining the fire brigade at the time. I had my own story published on some random sport called Eskrima...
Oh - and Port Adelaide decided they wanted to enter the AFL so spent until midnight getting comment from everyone from Russell Ebert, to Ross Oakley.
Yeah, It was alright ;-)

With my wife and some friends in the industry I can confirm they go together like hand and glove mate.

Trying to change my name on my frequent flyer details is near impossible.
I just want to add my middle name as per my passport.
******* circus.
Can’t do it online so have to ring them.
I can’t understand a word the person on the other end is saying.
Twice he asked me if I speak English!
Not sure if he was Indian, filipino or just retarded!
