Ever had the joy of collecting fridge magnets?? It seems really strange to me now to go to a friend's house, and to see that they have a bare fridge. Mine is adorned by at least 20 fridge magnets. Most of them contain advertising material of some kind, although some have been purchased as souvenirs. (The "Seattle" magnet for example.)
In case you're wondering, YES, I am interested in exchanging fridge magnets with other people. Send me some e-mail to bkelley at ozemail dot com dot au. Sorry to all those people who have sent me magnets that I haven't scanned in yet.
I Crave
Leadership The Brow.This is the first fridge magnet I ever collected. I got
this at the 7-11 in King St, Newtown.

that it's important. A friend gave me this magnet.

NIGHTDESK (61-2) 258 2180. This is the phone number for our futures night
desk. Our company used to be called "SBC Dominguez Barry" before it was called
"Swiss Bank Corporation". I stole this magnet from Matt, who was given a roll of
them when the company's name changed.

repairs cost me a packet, so I reckon I deserved a fridge magnet or two.
THE FLOWER
SHOP VAUCLUSE ... Ben Wu had this one stuck on some metal near his desk. I
figured he didn't really want it, if you know what I mean. Even with colour
palette editing, it's still hard to make out the text.

One of my ex-flatmates - Murray Dean - sent me this one from Seattle where he
lives. The outline of the Space Needle is evident.
Rose Bay -
Vaucluse Uniting Church. your local community church 371 9974 A friend gave
me this one. Can't remember who. Oddly, this magnet is not related to the
previous one, except that they're both from the same suburb.
Nothing on

now closed down. For a while, it was the only video shop in town. It gets its
