The Danube, as you may know is twinned with the Clyde, and in paticular, the section of the Clyde which devides the Green, in Glasgow’s East End from Polmadie

The Turtle was placed here by the good townsfolk of Bridgeton, in the East End of Glasgow, to commemorate the famous Battle of Polmadie Bridge, where the “Generator Man”, sybolised by the Turtle, held off local Polmadie youth for two hours to allow the showing of “Saturday Night Fever” on a large outdoor screen, July the 30th, 1546

Vienna has much to offer on a day off, contrary to what Jim “the Bus” would have you believe

It has Monuments

And underground some pish cheese trance gig involving lots of bicycles, not just one Dan, lots of them, plenty of em. If it’s a bicycle you seek, there here, in a bunker at the Praterstrasse in Vienna, thousands of em.
