  • I made friends with Damo from Melbourne on Saturday and had a great time chatting with him. Actually it was more so me listening to his stories. He was very interesting and I couldn't help but invite him onto my radio show this Saturday. I'm looking forward to it. Tune in - SYnRadio 90.7fm from 11am-midday :-)

  • heh, yeh its pretty much spot on, people spilling coffee on ur mags, drunks/skaters trying to be smart arses. one day i was standing there in the rain, had a few of my mags in a plastic pocket to keep em dry, some lady ran past and took them to cover her hair from the rain...

    i dissagree on it ever getting easy, i have made nothing ($0) plently of times, i've also had plently of bad days where i have sold 1 or 2 mags in 8hrs. cant ever judge a good/bad day, bad days are frequent (well here).

  • Well done Chantie, was wondering how it turned out. I liked the ending a lot.

  • i sell that mag in london and that is just what it is like but as you go on it gets easy and the money comes in
