Neilio Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hiya peeps, had to share this mini story... My mate and I are trainers at our office, earlier today we had quite a few temps start - of course, there were the mandatory fit girls and there were a few lads. Now, being the kind of trainer I am, I treat everyone the same; however, at lunch, the other trainer, my mate and a lifelong FM player, came up to me and said that one of the lads in our training group was an FM fan (after speaking to him on his break) I instantly took a liking to the lad and now chat to a thoroughly nice bloke and maybe wouldn't have done if it wasn't for FM!

Neilio Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Sorry to appear stupid- but what does mandatory mean? It means, obligatory, or standard - basically, as with most offices, there are the mandatory/obligatory/standard percentage of fit birds...heels, short skirts - you get my drift!

golfpunk Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If I didn't play FM I wouldn't have started a couple of friendships at work tbh.

charlo116 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yeah Fm is legendary.my freinds tell me to stop blinding them with technical jargon whats that about...i thought americans love footy or is it soccer Americans love Baseball, Grid Iron (American Football, ridiculous i know) and Basketball not "soccer". For some reason though Aussies adopted the name soccer so that football is rugby and afl where they mainly use their hands. And honestly if you ever watch afl you wonder why some of them are paid to kick the ball, there aren't many that can kick straight even though they drop kick the ball.
