:) SL is London based. They have money I know it. Also, I just wanted to say "well ace" after reading T's post about American expressions as opposed to your British one. "Proper skill" will do too, I LOL'd when I read it.

Andy - I'm not sure how much of a cash cow these expat magazines are. I seem to remember reading a news story about one of those mags going bust recently.... (We would be proper skill though)

SL magazine should pay me and Swiss James to write for it - then it can be well ace! Also Kenneth can round up some Chinasmack-esque stuff and Yangrouchuan can be agent provocateur. I do music. Dan can do golf. Moneyinabox can do DJs. Shop Girl fashion. Etc Etc. Come on we're all here and are not averse to cash to write for a posh looking mag.

I believe the appropriate American English response is "ooooh, burn." or perhaps "face!" depending on your age.

SL magazine What's with the .co.uk suffix? (And no content?)

@Stephan Boring as hell? Painful to read? Aren't you editor for SL Magazine?!

SH was painful to read, and usually pointless. No wonder no one wants to advertise with them. CW is hardly any better, just a bunch of rags fawning over celebrities and fashion-types, your typically mindless capitalist drivel. Boring as hell, good riddance.

T: probably because it's more expensive to maintain the SH Mag..I also always enjoyed SH Mag, definitely the best magazine in Shanghai. that's is just annoying

Well, that's sad. I liked SH better than the other ones.

How does this magazine fold and other expat mags *cough* CW *cough* survive?

When he source says sales are down ... they mean ad sales right? The mag is free. The food guy at SH is well respected and also Jake Newby was adding a lot to that mag and I found it to be the most interesting of the pat-rags lately.
