Flashermac 1403 Report post Posted November 21, 2010 Ah, I'd forgotten about that. An Aussie colleague used to buy it in quantity. Said it was much cheaper that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read something like this on Dean Barrett's website, about when he was editing the Thai Airways inflight mag. He said that type of job got you no respect in journo circles, but a lot of free flights and the hotels loved you. Sounds like a fair exchange to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew Dean back then, when we were both younger and really "hansum man". I even wrote a bit for him in the 1980s. He owned the publishing company that did the inflight magazine, and one of his tricks was to make sure he had the next issue he was working on laid out so the hostesses would spot it. Sly bugger he was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Munchmaster 201 Report post Posted January 12, 2011 TB, I've yet to find a "good" wine in a box. They are mediocre at best, which is why they are cheap and sold in boxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
