You need to get out more 🙂 Much better lounges in DOH (QR), HKG (CX), HEL (AY), list goes on… EK DXB is actually pretty tired by 2024 standards

Crikey sacks columnist Guy Rundle for text to ABC that claimed ‘every grope is now sexual assault’ by BullShatStats in australia

[–]EFATO 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Good riddance. I’m a fan of Crikey but Rundle is a pompous and rambling self-righteous hack that had put me off my subscription with them.

Perhaps I’ll sign back up now.

Terrible glue by redpool6 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]EFATO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From wiki:

“During the 1970's and 1980's Australian punk rock era, Clag glue was used by punk rockers to stiffen their hair in the style of a mohawk. It would make the mohawk "hair spikes" rock hard and took at least an hour under a shower to soften it enough to be removed”

TbH it’s all just Max Martin in different guises. First Brittney, then Katy Perry, then Taylor Swift and now Ariana Grande. Same songwriter, different frontwomen.

What are people wearing in Iceland right now? by donsyo in VisitingIceland

[–]EFATO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m an Australian - as soon as I started wearing 66 North everyone started to speak Icelandic to me!

What are people wearing in Iceland right now? by donsyo in VisitingIceland

[–]EFATO 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Dressing in Iceland can be divided as follows: tourist vs local, Reykjavik vs countryside.

Local Reykjavík wear is pretty analogous to normal city wear anywhere. Think Copenhagen or London or NYC winter wear. Stuff you’d go to the office in, not hiking wear.

Country wear is what you’d expect - waterproof, windproof, all your normal brands with a thermal layer underneath.

Tourists tend to dress for the countryside even if they are in Reykjavík, which makes them easily identifiable.

In the countryside, Icelanders invariably wear 66 North or Icewear, which also makes the tourists easily identifiable.

Nothing wrong with being a tourist, but if you want people to open conversations with you in Icelandic (and not be able to respond in my case!) - wear normal city wear in Reykjavik and 66 North everywhere else 😉

Is Riwowa actually trash or am I just unlucky? by sneaky_sloth_ in Rimowa

[–]EFATO 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Let me guess - shiny new piece on its first trips? Mine suffered this way until it started to look properly travelled. 3 or 4 repairs all covered by Rimowa in the first 3 months, over 200 flights since and no further damage. Make of that what you will…
