I'm back from living in Italy (don't tell ******) and looking for work.

 

If anybody hears of any teaching opportunities - English as a Foreign or Second Language and Italian - let me know, even a few hours one-to-one coaching in a business environment. I can also do translation Italian >> English. I might send Osvaldo my card but you lot are probably a more realistic bet. I've a background of 25 years in industry in business/systems analysis in case you all think I might be too academically based, and as a freelance abroad learnt to be very flexible and responsive to my customers.

 

See my comment elsewhere, but having paid for my season ticket I need some work to pay for the transport to the games! I also need more resources to put my house right after the housing association left it in a right state...

Part-time I think; I put a deal into my work (particularly the actual teaching) and need time to recover! Just like I did when I was playing 90 minutes of football as a veteran last year.. Alternatively short-term full time contracts would be fine, but I'm looking to a 2/3 week holiday visit back to my friends in January: skiing and maintaining my language skills!

 

I'm open to all avenues; I'm too out of touch to go back into IT with any technical component and would not wish to try, but I have good people skills.

 

Thanks for your reply and please PM if you have any more suggestions.

Did you live in Italy? I had no idea!

I suppose I ought to tell Turkish that I have him on ignore, in case he's forgotten. :-)

 

Perhaps it hadn't occurred to him that the location of my recent work experience might be relevant to my employment prospects, but I suppose if his attempts at online bullying give him a bit of pleasure he might be a bit nicer in his real-life encounters.

 

Still, I'm sure everybody else will make up their own minds.

Don't worry about catching up on IT skills Sue, but now you're having to use a Zimmerframe to get up to the half-way line you really should take up a proper sport like golf.

 

I'm sure a woman of your calibre would enjoy getting a few holes in on a late Autumn afternoon

Not snide. Sue has never mentioned living in Italy, playing football or having me on ignore before. I don't know why she didn't say, I love Italy and football and being on ignore. We could be friends.

 

Stop doing online bullying Turkish. I'll report you to the headmaster of the Internet.

Thanks Phil, but I'm not yet _that_ decrepit, and besides, why spoil a decent walk in the country? Nor could my budget cope, not after paying for the season ticket! Anyway, I could always take up goalkeeping more seriously to avoid the ol' shortness of breath problem and the incipient cramp after 80 minutes..

 

Need to start training though, as my beer consumption is going to go up, starting with The Platform Saturday week...

Incidentally, from what I can gather, Turkish keeps on going on about me playing football and living in Italy. He seems to mention it every time I come on here, far more than I do and even when it's not relevant. He doesn't go about Dubai_Phil who even has where he lives in his name, or anybody else with a particular interest. Funny really, and it's such obviously bullying behaviour, but most people will already have their own opinion about him. I suppose I'll have to tell him when I retire from football and live in Hampshire, just to humour him.

 

Which reminds me, I've also done some support work in local hostels, so another avenue to investigate, though it doesn't pay well.

Ever thought about selling photocopiers? Requires people skills...

I wouldn't bet on that. You even managed to slip a football reference on on this thread.

 

Anyway if you've got me on ignore how do you know what I say about Dubai Phil? On any case I for one love his endless golf and beer stories.

I think we are all pretty much agreed that Turkish's behaviour on this forum is just a classic projection of his own self-loathing.

 

F'sure. Geezer's a proper bellend.

 

Sue - if you can be bothered I'm sure you can catch the last month or so of summer school work - might mean missing the odd game though.

OK, so one more season of football and one of refereeing!;-)

A slight tongue-in-cheek question, but how much do qualified refs get for a match these days? Still reckon I've another season in me but...

 

:lol::lol: OK that's a really good one :lol::lol:

 

5 references to playing football on this thread, on one that is about work. :lol::lol:

Ah Turkish don't forget a lot of footballers think that they "work". To me normal "work" is rather

different to getting paid millions for doing something you really enjoy.

 

But they arent middle aged women playing in an amateur Vets team in Italy!

Sorry Krakes bit pissed and took me a while to post. gay crabs is a boring deppo wannabe cunt he thou? full credit for highlighting it first. Sure he already knows it though.
No worries Toke. I'd like to say live and let live with Gary Crob but, well, he's def a bit of a wrong'un. Little proactivity from the chap and much anger permeating, from a "new member". Never mind, diff'rent strokes. He seems to enjoy himself being all angry and stuff, so good luck to him.

They just don't get it do they.....bordering distastefull at times

 

Unfortunately "Badge", (you don't mind me calling you "Badge" do you, makes us sound like real buddies...) Once the forum playground crew get in there, lots of threads go the same way. Don't think Sue had a chance of keeping this one on track once a certain member saw her in the playground - not a hope.

 

On the bright side, only another five hours til the football starts - perhaps things on here will start to improve once we have more to talk about.

 

P.S. Shortening Micky to Mick doesn't have the same "matey" ring to it. Maybe we should consider using a few "yo's" or "init's" for effect....! :cool:

Is it still possible to put an asterisk next to the thread title to denote that it is a serious topic and not up for trolls?

 

nah that would attract even more. The rest of us know Sue needs some help and so are asking round quietly last thing we'd want to do is let a troll get a job

Thanks, TCK, but my house has been left in such a state by the tenant and then incompetence by the housing association in rectifying it that I've effectively written off August as I've had so much unexpected sorting to do. I will be adding my contingent losses though to the HA bill!

 

Do I recall that you teach English? Memory not what it was.. I suggest anybody with ideas PMs me, as a thread has once again gone off the rails. Thanks again to those who have made suggestions, and I'm always up for a beer DP!
