At least you've got a full time job might not be the best but its a stepping stone to something better.

Not all of them. We have a Club member who’s a real estate agent and he drives a Silhouette BA GT. He’s a pretty good bloke, however, I don’t think he’s a member of AFF.

Cheers, Danny

Security Officer (no voting option?). I work 12 hour shifts 4-5 days a week and travel 100k each way. Why do I do it, they paid for me to get drunk and have a good time on a houseboat last month. That and my boss is easy on the eyes.
