Troublemakers actin up

Ace — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 16:05:35 +0000

To celebrate black history month the troublemakers were asked to attend a school in London to take part in a Question an Answer session. Probably not the best idea to have the troublemakers of radio influence your kids but the session did raise loads of interesting debate and discussion. Topics included the music industry, college & University, UK Radio, irritating DJ's, annoying celebraties and the hottest CD's out right now. We even got some bars from some up & coming MC's. Great Day. Shout out to all the pupils and staff!

So towards the end of Max's show today me and Max had a discussion about her and the rest of the 1xtra ladies possibly doing a shoot for FHM Magazine in bikinis. I told her I had a friend that worked for the magazine and they would definitely be interested in having the 1xtra beauties in the publication. Max said "NO WAY!" seemed to be quite defensive about the whole thing. I didn't understand why until a anonymous informant sent us this picture of Max and the ladies in a lads mag from last year.
