    There's Chromecast. You have to change to HDMI. It's not like other IHGs with their merry music (if you've stayed at voco Melbourne Central or Kimpton Margot, you know what I'm talking about) where your name is on the screen and everything. Source: stayed there twice this year

    New Amex statement credits

    Screw work parties. Unlike Eric Prydz (who we all know has a notorious fear of flying), they'll be there at next year's parties.

    I book via the IHG app which has my membership number, hence why my room was upgraded months in advance.
