I was prescribed generic codeine painkillers by my GP, but found that that they made me vomit, whereas the Panadol codeine painkiller doesn't. So my guess is that part of the Panadol 'secret formula' is a stomach settler that the generics don't bother with.

this is a good one. feels like pot luck, more or less. exceptional cheap ones (with owners who care about what they do) and laughable expensive ones (boilerplate breakfasts, tiny hot rooms with no view etc). Sometimes in the same city.

a $200 bottle of tom ford perfume doesn't smell any better than a $30 of guerlain

yeah it is madness. i am staying in brighton this weekend and there were places for like £200 that were just standard daintily renovated townhouses. two hundred pounds. in the end i got a place for about £85. i've paid a bit for the odd hotel over the years but for £200 i'd expect a spa, swimming pool, incredible service, a nice bar, and maybe to be in a major city.

Markets are irrational, so pretty much everything.
