Funny, Foxy, Foreign, Footy Female
Just thought I'd relate an exchange I had at work today (humour me. It makes work seem somehow worth something). I work in retail and in the drudgery that that entails you look for aesthetic stimulation wherever you can find it (which is a highfalutin way of saying you pray for a hot chick). So I was rather brightened up when a gorgeous member of the fairer sex wandered up to me to ask for assistance. She was tiny but had blue eyes, a cute face and a killer smile. I was even more enamoured when she spoke - she had an Irish accent that sounded almost musical. To my delight she was incredibly friendly and it wasn't long before I was asking myself if I could be any more in love with this girl (I'm a hopeless romantic). So I asked her if she were here on holiday or work. She said work. I asked what she was doing (gosh I'm rude) to which she replied "I'm actually doing producing and footy reporting for Foxsports and afl.com". So the next thing I asked myself was "Is ten minutes of conversation an adequate prelude to a marriage proposal?". So we chatted about footy for a while and she told me a funny little story:
Turns out during trade week she was doing the rounds and found herself in a lift with her cameraman and Rodney Eade. The cameraman was a Bomber fan and voiced his hope that we could get something for Kepler Bradley. Rocket's contribution was "What do you reckon you'll get for him? A box of tennis balls?"

Good yarn. Brings back memories of the many a dull day i spent wearing the red and white pinstriped shirt, clip-on tie, visor and pocketless grey pants as a Maccas crewkid. Though i can't seem to recall serving too many footy loving, blue-eyed lovelies in my time there .
Rocket Eade - always the optimist. Turns out a box of tennis balls would've been a good deal.

Knights should've taken it. Prick.
That way Keps would've had a home and we would've come out looking like a better club.[/b]
Essendon Football Club- We arent arrogant, just deluded.

Bro...you have to use that number. f*** being professional.AnarchicBomber wrote:She has to come back to pick up something she ordered (fortunately it's not a bridal wear store) so she's promised me more footy gossip. She's left a phone number to call her when her order comes in but it would be highly unprofessional to use it . . . Ha!
Where do you work?? When will you call her about her order??AnarchicBomber wrote:She has to come back to pick up something she ordered (fortunately it's not a bridal wear store) so she's promised me more footy gossip.

I suggest that a wecloming party of Bombertalkers should be on hand as some sort of a jury to decide if this girl is really hot. We can have Keri and fly in Megs for the female angle. Benny, Gatsid......and Bonce for the "Dicko" vote.
Only then can you proceed in askin her out for a date. I suggest somewhere away from the footy might be best. Maybe a hurling match might be best to break the ice.

I like the idea of being a judge of hottness, but I reckon the footy is a great date idea. You really get to see what a person is like when you see them at the footy.84859300 wrote:Where do you work??

HaHa! Nah I think I'll go this one alone. As for where I work, here's a clue: I would have made you all proud when I pissed a certain collection of people today by saying "while you're waiting for him to get here I'd like to make you all feel at home by letting you know that we've colluded with our largest competitor to inflate the price"84859300 wrote:Where do you work??

Make your guesses and no-one who already knows is allowed to say!
