Thursday, 7 days to go

  Hi everyone, why the heading as it is it? Well for the answer to that is that there is 7 days to go and my eldest child turns the magical 18. I remember when I turned 18, haha just. I walked into my local pub armed with my drivers licence, birth certificate and passport. Just in case I was stopped and asked for ID. Problem was, I had been gong there since I was 16 and most of the staff, including management already knew that I had been going in there underage. So I never had to produce it. Bugga..

Anyway my boy is having a nice quiet BBQ around my place with select friends. Yes, he has put in out on FB, but being the good media user that he is, he has made it a private invite only and instructions to all his mates that it is by invite only. Not come one, come all. Again its amazing how the times change, where respect for people and other people property has gone out the door. You see the news stories about, what starts out as a private party, 18th or 21st, next thing you know its a full blow rave with 300 people that require the police, in numbers, to sort out. Worse thing is, the kids who cause the problem in the first don't care, they think its fun!!!!! Ah well, Karma can be a bitch at times. :)

Anyway, enough of that...SMINE Products news. New page on the website with pictures of some of the goalkeepers here in Australia and Indonesia wearing WarbyGK gloves. I have added some footnotes as well (only cause I can ). The word has gone out to all the boys who I deal with directly to send me pics of themselves either in action or just posing with their kit on. So by the start of the new year we will have quite a rogues gallery on the page. The photos are not in any order, so don't think some are more important than others. I treat them all with the same respect, as they are all keepers and all wear WarbyGK Gloves.  We keepers, are a special breed of footballer. A little bit out there, love attention, great choosers of clothing, (some not so good),good organisational skills (some better than others), but above all, we are all slightly mad.  For instance, you wont see an outfield player diving at someone's feet with arms extended, head perilously close to the ball, which in the blink of an eye could look like a football to the other player, so he takes a swing at it, nor would you see an outfield player diving to the left or right, knowing that there is a post , which if you get it wrong it, is going to hurt severely if you hit it. These are just two things amongst a load of others that makes keepers a breed of their own... I rest my case. Keepers are SPECIAL.

He not so short and cute looking now and I mean Troy, not me.

SMINE Products in the middle of Australia is going well. Kerri Gilbert, our girl up there, has been banging on doors and coming back with the orders. Clothing, promotional items, you name it. Kerri is off to spend Christmas with her family at the beginning of next week and she informs me that she will be knocking on doors over there as well. Got to love that. I thought I was the only one who took my work with me. Thanks for the all the hard work Kerri. Have a safe trip and I look forward to catching up early next year.

Ok almost time to go out and get some real work done. But before I go, just to let everyone know that ARMANDO SPORTS in O'Connor in WA is now retailing the WarbyGK gloves. If your with a club or an actual football club that's wants to buy the gloves for your keepers. Go see Armando, he is offering his usual club discount with every purchase.

Have a great week and weekend everyone, catch up on all the gossip and let you know what's happening next week.
