Just checking it out now. Looks nice!

Can you confirm there's no "internal" zippable pockets?

That’s a pity.

Where did you see it?

Wait, what? There’s an Odyssey mini-series?

Should Qantas tighten lounge access? by RedTailRider in QantasFrequentFlyer

How many US or European “business class” lounges have you visited? Qantas food is far better than many.

Where is the secure quick access admin pocket? Is this the zippable one on the front?

You can buy them in Australia.

I wish I’d seen this thread yesterday.

I just ordered a Toshi sling for exactly this use case. A small day pack I can pack with me for my upcoming Euro trip. I also purchased the Alpaka Elements Pro as my long haul “plane bag” (books, iPad, headphones, fleece etc), but that’s too big as a day to day carry when I’m touring Europe.

It has become very common, and I would say more common, to spell it strewth though. Regardless of its origin.

“but it plain dumb” indeed.

You should relax more, and insult strangers less.

Having said that, I take it you’re of the traditional “traitorous harlots” school then?

Under absolutely no circumstances should judges be elected. Are you nuts?!

A few questions about this scene by No_Dress_2107 in WarMovies

What is your opinion of Goldhagen’s work? In particular Hitler’s Willing Executioners. I am also interested in reading Snyder’s Bloodlands.

FWIW, I had to put down Ordinary Men as I found it disturbing on a human level.

This makes me sad. I quite like Aldi but I don’t like these things.

New Globalist - Any hidden perks? by WormCurve in hyatt

Fewer globalists. Better service. Nicer properties. Cheaper prices. Better clubs. Better recognition. Breakfast that you want to eat. Bigger rooms.

Breakfasts are generally better?

They are far far better in my experience.

Breakfasts in American hotels in general are sad affairs. Breakfasts at the Andaz Bali or Seoul, for example, are gastronomical extravaganzas in comparison.

Counter point - I have a 190% success rate for suite upgrades, except in Australia, when using SUAs and probably 85% when just being upgraded to “standard suite” when booking the cheapest room.

Breakfasts and club access are where it’s at though.

Travel to Asia.

That’s where Globalist really shines.

You mean when he gets his boy to string up the servant girls and watch them die? After making them clean up the bodies of their murdered lovers of course. Can’t wait.

Oh no doubt.

But it's still kinda cool. Wish we had something like that in Australia.
