They literally kept him in the basement and treated him as a pet, thanks to the school and Dad he took up trampolining and is now allowed outside and to travel doing trampolining. Wonderful Christian parents Only reason I don't buy that for a second is that no Christian would talk about punishments from a past life, they're not Hindus FFS :lol:

I actually am a Project Controls Consultant which means I look after cost and schedules for projects across various industries. My wife and I are starting up a sunglass company and they are due to be launched in November. I am not sure if I am allowed to plug them though, so I wont.

Wonderful Christian parents That is really sad. Its like Jehovah's witness devotees ...I think they forbid blood transfusions. It's stories like these that worry me about teaching. Putting aside my ethnocentrism to look at another situation that is completely wrong and somehow finding a balance.

Currently a Sales Director (Sydney)/Fund Raising Director (Hunter Region) for a not for profit.
In the final stages of getting my Recruitment agency off the ground so i can eventually go out on my own. Also studying a Business degree though Griffith Uni.
Spent the first 5 years of my working life in banking and finance as a credit manager but quickly discovered sales was way more fun

I studied Journalism in the hope of working in Sports Journalism. Have not yet made any inroad in to that field.
My last job was a ticketing offer at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre. Was there for about 6 years 9 months.
Moved to the UK at the beginning of September in the hope of pursuing my dreams, at the moment still searching for that break. Hopefully something comes through soon.

You would have crossed paths with Tom Rogic at some point? I just realised I somehow quoted my own post. I don't even know how I did that. I never crossed his path. It depends when he was part of the AFA. But also, AFA is not the actual FFA futsal association. AFA is a separate entity and privately owned. They have grown quite a bit in the last couple years because the FFA has been rather lax in terms of their view towards everyone outside the Socceroos.

Not sure if I mentioned this before but I work as a telemarketer and a transcribe. I've called melbourneboys before. Was not impressed.

He could get away with futsal style in the ACT premier league. Arnie sorted that out in about ten weeks. And made him more composed. His problem now is conditioning. He needs a decent preseason like the one he got with Mariners before the 2012-2013 season.

Attention: Salmon
Get a job for weekends/holidays - it will be good for $$$ (you'll be able to pay for football tickets now) and also confidence-wise etc. It's good to move out of your comfort zone, be a part of new environments with new people, new possible friends and so on.
