I didn’t have a clue how big a club Celtic were when I joined.
I left Iran back in 1985. I lived in Turkey for a while, then I went to Germany. I joined a theater company there, and we toured the country.
I never joined the army for patriotic reasons.
When I left Real, I left a great club but joined a great club.
In December of 1990, just before my eighth birthday, I left China for the United States. My father was a political dissident, and after he was released from prison, we joined my mother in a little town in the mountains of Utah. It was quite a change from my hometown of Shanghai, a city of 25 million people.
I joined the drama club when I was in 11th grade.
I was on the national Pentathlon team for a few years, but there was no funding for athletes in Canada. I was in a massive amount of personal debt at the age of 21, so I joined a little modelling and talent agency to get a some work, to do anything so that I didn’t have to drop out of school.
When I joined the Lakers and moved to L.A., I started getting more serious about collecting sneakers and dressing from the feet up.
I joined Elton John’s band in ’75. He not only allowed me to play the electronic keyboard on his albums, he also let me do the orchestrations. Then I left the band and started producing records. I was not really a popular kind of hit music guy. I was attracted to more esoteric things.
It may sound corny in a cynical age but literally generations of our people have given much of their lives to establishing and cherishing the Labour party because they believed what the party told them when they joined.
I’ve known Mark Hughes for half a lifetime. We joined Barcelona in the same summer of 1986, played together under Terry Venables and Luis Aragones, and have kept in touch ever since.
For the past, I guess, three years or so when I joined Bullet Club and as a member of The Elite, I was honestly kind of in the shadow of all of my friends.
Rather than say art is art and life is life, I like to say that they’re joined and inextricable.
I didn’t want any other crown when I joined Binibining Pilipinas.
My second child came in September 2008, and I joined the Obama transition team in November. I was part of the group that opened the White House doors on Inauguration Day. And then I basically didn’t leave for two years.
I joined the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the 1980s and protested at Greenham Common.
Young women and men who joined the far-left groups did so for the best of reasons. They wanted to change the world. Many fought against the stifling atmosphere in many groups.
Organic compounds exist in which a hydrogen atom, joined to the carbon, acquires acid properties as a result of the proximity of certain functional groupings.
I joined Walt Disney, went to work, December 2nd 1935, so obviously, I’m not too young!
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
I wasn’t a shrinking violet when I joined Fox News. I didn’t have any power at Fox – I had no power in the TV industry – but I had been a lawyer for nine years who had practiced employment law.
I joined the Communist Party because I felt I had to be in some organization.
My son joined the army to protect America, not Israel.
I don’t think I was a control freak. I just couldn’t get my head around things. When I joined Sheffield United I was told I had £5m to spend, then when I went to see the chief executive he told me if I didn’t raise £350,000 no one was getting paid.
My whole world before I joined the Navy was my neighborhood in the Bronx.
When I joined Google, it was 1,000 people. It took me two and a half years to look around and realize there weren’t a lot of people like me.
But when I joined up with England I felt lucky to be there, and it was the same at Liverpool. And when I look back now I realise I lost something mentally as a player, by allowing that to happen.
My friend Adam gave me my first chance to play in an organised match, for Steventon, when I was 10. The team were one player short, and I joined in. I had never played before, but I came on and scored a perfect hat-trick: header, left foot, right foot.
Since I became more confident, I’ve thought, ‘Right, let me get myself on the market’. So I joined Tinder and Chappie, and it was funny because, at first, the sites thought I was an imposter.
I did my first apprenticeship when I was 15, then joined the union when I was 17. I worked every summer in high school and college.
I’m one of those people who never really joined the grown-ups.
The Caucus I joined in 1953 had as many Boer War veterans as men who had seen active service in World War II, three from each. The Ministry appointed on 5 December 1972 was composed entirely of ex-servicemen: Lance Barnard and me.
Content and technology are strange bed fellows. We are joined together. Sometimes we misunderstand each other. But isn’t that after all the definition of marriage?
I tend to want to form bands and then create new music within them. Queen was an exception, and we joined forces because it just seemed to work when we played together.
From there, I tried out for a community theatre play, joined an improv group… it all started opening up.
I joined a campus competition, as I felt I could do comedy, and I won. Then I started doing standup gigs in 2009 while completing my law degree, but I never told my parents. They only discovered a few years later.
It wasn’t until I was at 39 that I joined my first real hockey team. Which was great. I scored a couple of goals here and there, but I wasn’t the most graceful thing you’ve ever seen.
I never went into acting to be able to scare everybody. If I’d wanted to frighten people, I could have joined the C.I.A.
Now, myself, I’m not a pacifist at all. I believe in just war. I would have joined the spirit of the nation to fight against apartheid.
In May of 2010, I joined Kevin Systrom, my co-founder, and we created ‘Instagram’, a mobile social network that today has over 15 million users.
We joined a Conservative synagogue. I began learning through engagement, rote and reading. Suddenly, I belonged… well, to the extent that a novelist can ever feel she is part of a group; we may be part of a minyan, but we’re not fully merged into the community.
Champions League football is one of the primary reasons I joined Juventus so I am determined to help the team succeed in the competition.
When I was 21, I wanted to write like Kafka. But, unfortunately for me, I wrote like a script editor for ‘The Simpsons’ who’d briefly joined a religious cult and then discovered Foucault. Such is life.
I ultimately joined the Labour Party and became an MP because the country and my constituents deserve a Labour government.
Rip Rig + Panic that I joined, they were really influenced by jazz and blues and punk. So I think what happened from punk, which was kind of DIY, was that it created a kind of creative place that was kind of without limits, in a way.
I joined 3G when I was 24, but I didn’t really have much of a management role there. I became C.F.O. when we acquired Burger King, so that was my first time managing people. I had just turned 30.
Well, I started trying stand-up before I joined Google, actually. And then I went broke because that’s what happens when you try stand-up comedy. You’re actually paying to perform.
Growing up, I was very conservative in my wardrobe, so when I first joined the Pussycat Dolls, the biggest challenge was wearing those cabaret costumes. I didn’t feel comfortable showing my body so much, showing my legs and butt, chest and midriff.
When I was talking with Shanghai, I was talking to big clubs from Europe, as well. There was Atletico Madrid, who I almost joined. I liked them very much and what they were offering me at the time. There was also Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan. I had some options.
I didn’t dream that I would become the CEO of the company when I joined as a systems marketing engineer back in 1995. Sometimes, I don’t really reconcile to it; it’s a bit of an odd sensation which is under the surface.
I joined the Army in 1965 and served with the 11th Hussars, which I loved. The regiment was so relaxed – a salute was more like a friendly wave.
When I joined the ANC, I never thought I would be anything. In no way, did I say, ‘One day I could be the president. I think I am good material for the presidency.’ Not at all.
In the 1990s, I was among those Indonesians who demanded and celebrated the departure of our own autocrat, Suharto, and I joined the new government when he left.
I joined the Royal Ballet School when I was 13. Before then, I’d done ballet twice a week after school. The rest of my class had started aged 11, so I’d missed two years and was really far behind.
Fans should remember Thierry Henry when he joined Arsenal. He didn’t score much before becoming an icon of this club.
I joined the RCP (Revolutionary Communist Party) in the early ’80s. I’d be in it still but it was wound up at the end of the nineties.
Helmet was joined to helmet, and spear to spear, and jewels, baggage, and elephants without number went with them, and you would have said it was a host that none could understand.
No one will pay you for planning an expedition at first: you have to work in pubs at weekends so you can pay the gas bills. I joined the Territorial Army, which paid me when I turned up to drill nights, and so did my wife.
