Here is the footage of me collecting my bags at Sydney airport and taking them home to see if the sink had survived its journey.

Original video here: https://youtu.be/pdMZjssrAlk

If anyone wants the sink it ended up at Reverse Garbage (Addison Road, Marrickville, NSW) https://reversegarbage.org.au/ I donated it as a "prop sink" and it may still be there! But as you can see from the video: it is a bit broken.

3:25 11:05 if this is an unboxing video, does it mean this is Calculator Unboxing #11?

Of course. If someone would have told me that one of the people I follow on Twitter has just brought a sink in his luggage from the UK to Australia, I would immediately have guessed it was you :)

I'm just going to go back in time to 1997 and tell 16 year old me that in twenty years time, the internet will be able to stream video in real time but that she'll choose to use that ability to watch a video of a man unpacking a sink from a suitcase. And the best part is, I know it won't create a time paradox, because I'd have been sure to repress the memory as soon as it happened.

Arnim Sommer

There is a man who knows where his sink is!

Sam Atkins

Haha! I asked for it and was not disappointed. :D

Jason Bucata

Wow, a hotel with a physical door key... I can barely find any in the USA anymore, they went to electronic cards decades ago. If you lost that key, they'd have needed to rekey the door and probably wouldn't have been happy about it.

Simon Fox

Think Matt said it was an Air BnB

Tino Fels

Why isn't the video upside down, since you are in Australia? oO

Matt Parker

There was no "root two test" so I don't think it counts!

Matt Parker

I think that reflects well on both of us.

Matt Parker

I aim to please! I was super tired after the flight but knew that footage would be worth it.

Matt Parker

Yes, it was an AirBnB apartment in North Sydney.

Henry Segerman

Have you been in contact with farms, farm animals, wilderness areas, freshwater streams/lakes, or a sink that lived in someone's garden in the past 30 days?

Arnim Sommer

Hey - if you know where your sink is, you definitely know where your towel ist!

Paavo Saarinen

I was actually gonna ask you to release a video like this on the main video comments, but then I figured you'll probably release it anyway. Glad to see my faith in you was not unfounded.

What was the name of the database Excel-like thing you are going to teach? Did you say ”TM1”?
