VERYSTORMY Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Get some cling film, paint it skin coloured. Fashion into shapes looking like fingers and toes and attach. Use offcuts to make webs between fingers and toes and you will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 You could try an extra false head, just cover it in hair, noone will notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinandbianca Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Do what I did and marry a Tasmanian girl who is the daughter of the local deputy mayor. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeegieDave Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Get a permanent black marker and colour in some teeth so it looks like you have a few missing... Also wear a pair of sunglasses on your head, even when its dark, just incase the sun makes a sudden unannounced appearence in the middle of the night!

I recently saw a job vacancy advertised from a fairly decent sized construction contractor which said 'only Australian and NZ citizens need apply' so it wouldn't really suprise me!

Oh, I don't know the in's and outs of it. I only read the advert. I can understand that they want someone with Australian employment rights without going down the 457 route but what about all the Permanent Residents.. I don't think they should have put such a requirement in their advert. It sounded a bit... wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
