Well hello everyone and welcome to Austria!

This is TightEnd, overcoming technological hardship and forgotten passwords to temporarily post on The Duke"s account.

Its been an interesting weekend already. Delayed from Heathrow we arrived in a deserted town 30km south of Vienna at 1am. Half an hour later we"re still trying to get a hotel room key via the automated system

Interesting scenario at the airport too. Met by a pre-booked taxi we say hello to the driver and he says "English, ja?"

Answering in the affirmative he then said"David Beckham"

So i have to respond

I managed "Hans Krankl, Thomas Hitzselsperger"

and was met by a grin and a nod

but try as I might I could not think of any more famous Austrian footballers

So thats you first challenge..non-Googling or else Uncle Tighty will put you in detention

famous Austrian footballers please!!!

The Poker Royale casino here is huge, maybe 80 tables

On an industrial estate its un pre-possessing from the outside, being a big black rectangular shed type construction

Inside though its like DTD"s less tasteful cousin...black and red colour scheme, like--I would imagine--a bordello in South America

Huge leather sofas, lots of fake pot plants, low lighting and plenty of eye candy

If I get distracted, you"ll have to excuse me

Tighty  

TightEnd:
ah hah.....the power of the password recovery system!!


play starts at 1.30pm UK time
