| Izzy Does It! (Trade 18) |
Ever since you put Jody's songwriting trade up I wanted to do this trade: Jody is a friend, and someone that has a clear vision of music and the music industry, and where the future is. And since this trade was open to *anyone*, I thought 'why not?' [...] |

| A Very Important Bottle Opener (Trade 2) |
Speeding along a Lancashire country road (and not exceeding the speed limit of course!), I was thinking about the craziness of this dash to a trade. In the boot of my trusty rusty old car was a bottle opener which, if you saw it in a car boot sale, well it wouldn't exactly strike you as being a "must have!" object (I'm sure previous owner Spiros would concur). But now someone, who I hadn't yet even met, had a strong desire to be the next owner. [...] |
