Default Perth Glory Miss out on Beckham

Press reported here today that Perth Glory failed to sign Beckham , the biggest and best supported club in Australia confirmed today.
Nick Tanna (Mr fried chicken) one of Australias richest men said after long talks with Beckham he failed to convince him that Perth had a lifestyle to beat Spain , the wages were not on the same scale but he would be nearer Asia and get free Chicken Treat for life.
David was heard to say wheres Perth and is there an Australia ?

I always thought Becks was thick. You can never judge a book by its cover eh? He has developed the wisdom of Solomon now it seems.
I liked the chicken treat bit. This is irresistible over here.

You are looking for sound advice? Budget to earn 600-700 per week. That would be good for your job.

Your figure was not the weekly wage for a fitter here it was for a company rate so was mine as for my earnings , it is greater than you will see out of your $50 charge out rate.
