I love standing up for the national anthem at the cinema do you? by Queen of the Suburbs

I love the way everyone stands at the movies for the national anthem. It's pretty old school but gives you a nice feeling. Even my wee ones do it...it's nice.

Leafleting in Bandra by CMYC

We want to leaflet our company flyer in residential buildings in Bandra area, what's the best way to go about it? Any suggestion would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Queenie

Great ideas there...also try all, the cafes and restaurants to see if you can leave your flyers. Maybe also ask the watchmen of apartments if you can post some leaflets in the boxes... Queenie Read More
