I"ve been using the same beaten up shoulder bag for just under twenty years. I picked it up for a trip to the US back 2001, and it"s served me well ever since. Indeed it it gave yeoman"s service just recently in Korea and Hong Kong.
I enjoyed a quick trip down to Sydney last night for a Christmas party with the TV guys I"ve been doing some stuff with this year.
Great night. The venue was a brew pub in St Peter"s - Willie the Boatman.
