      Did anybody see Samuel L Jackson on Jonathon Ross reading out the lyrics to Shaddupa ya face? Most amusing

        We walked in the cold air,
        Freezing breath on a window pane,
        Lying and waiting,
        A man in the dark in a picture frame,
        So mystic and soulful,
        A voice reaching out in a piercing cry,
        It stays with you until,
        The feeling is gone,
        Only you and I,
        It means nothing to me,
        This means nothing to me,
        Oh Vienna.

        The music is weaving,
        Hunting notes, pizzicato strings,
        The rhythm is calling,
        Alone in the night as the daylight brings,
        A cool empty silence,
        The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky,
        It fades to the distance,
        The image is gone,
        Only you and I,
        It means nothing to me,
        This means nothing to me,
        Oh Vienna.

        This means nothing to me,
        This means nothing to me,
        Oh Vienna.



        Can anyone else here think of a song that has the word pizzicato in its lyrics? Genius.

        Have patience. In time, even grass becomes milk.

          This all makes for nice reading... but

          does anyone have any experience of working there?

          Possible opportunity would you believe.

            That was the oddest experience - or maybe I've just had too much of Gee's Linctus - I thought Craig the polygamist was back

                  Spent a couple of weeks on site there in 1999. Was in a tiny little bank (2 traders, 1 accountant, 1 ops/IT) installing something shiny.
                  Stayed in the Renaissance. Pleasant enough surroundings. Didn't get much chance to look around, but I remember it being expensive.

                  Major European bank has it's Group IT there - they have a big yellow logo. If the job is there, PM me and I'll share some useful info with you.

                    While we were there we also went to the Cologne christmas market. It was identical to the Frankfurt one.

                    Some people take three, four or five day coach tours around these places. I think they are certifiable.

                    The Frankfurt one is not the best but there are some which are very good and well worth the visit.

                    Vienna is not bad actually, I've been down a few times to put systems in there and quite enjoyed myself even though I didn't get to see too much of the city. The only real drawback I had was the Austrian dialect which can sometimes be a little bit difficult to understand:

                    i hab ma denkt
                    i kimm ge heut
                    a wen'g zu dir
                    i brauchat wen

                    wen der mi hålt
                    wen den i g'spür

                    weil die ewigkeit is sowieso nix für uns

                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
