Very good 😉

That CES seems to get more ridiculous every year. The suitcase: what they don't mention is that it has a heavy battery with a life of no more than 4 hours. Try getting that past Ryanair's on-board luggage gestapo.

As you probably know "The Luggage" can follow it's owner through space , time and dimensions so Ryanair don't stand a chance, it'll probably eat them!

Of course, it will probably route itself through a wormhole in a parallel universe.
I have to say I never quite latched on to Pratchett's books although he did seem to be an intelligent, good chap.

Just like British Airways luggage then!

I've read one or two, but though I enjoyed them, they seemed quite derivative to me - TH White was the first to plow the comic fantasy furrow with the magnificent 'Once And future King' which is sadly a largely forgotten book now.
