I'm actually serious.

One of my friends' older brother busked for about two hours and managed to get around forty quid.

He had this nefarious plan to do it near foreigners giving out copies of Big Issue or whatever it is. People preferred to give him their money, as then they wouldn't be bothered by dirty outsiders.

Busk if you're good. A lot of buskers are awful, so when someone good is playing a lot of people seem to pay just for the novelty.

Play an ultra-violent death metal song with clear singing and a mellow melody.

I'm going to go to Watford, hang about in this underpass with one of my acoustic guitars and play 'Oh yeah' by Ferris Bueller. Or I dunno, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Use the 10 quid to buy condoms and become a Gigolo.

In capitalism you sell the fruits of your employees' labours and then (after other costs) pay your employees less than the value of those labours, keeping the rest for yourself.

You should do that.

But I'm a socialist.

These days the entire political spectrum is a spectrum of capitalism.

But I'm a socialist. Actually I'm not anything, I like the idea of socialism but I've grown up in a largely capitalist society and economy in the lower/ working class. Fuck anyone who says it's too hard.

It is quite shit.

What happened to the good old Yugoslav-USSR days when everything was so easy?

Bullet Magnet 09-21-2011 09:15 AM

My favourite part was all the fresh groceries that imitate western garbage!

From what my mate living in Croatia said, Yugoslavia generally was a much better place to live when compared to what it split in to.

The largest Kosovo-Serb Enclave. Purdy.

Don't forget Bosnia-Herzegovina!

...and Albania.

...and Montenegro.

Actually, Serbia just wanted everyone to be their friend and fucked up.
