@ScottyNational: In tomorrow's paper,'Why Yes was not about Alex Salmond'.Also,a 300 page pull-out listing all the brilliant things He will do at Westminster
FU Indeed, but what great things had Obama done before he became President, if CVs alone got you the presidency President Gore would have been followed by President McCain
Greetings from Vienna. This city is easy to like. Great Metro, stunning architecture, great food, lovely people. Visited the Hofburg Kaiser Apartments today, the silver collection and Empress Sisi's boudoir. Maybe Schoenbrunn or Belvedere tomorrow.
Past couple of evenings till the early hours were spent ferreting out The Third Man locations. Girlfriend thought I was crazy, but is now a devotee of the film.
"The Doorway" on Schreyvogelgasse, Harry's Apartment at Josefplatz, the Riesenrad, Cafe Mozart, the location of the kiosk at Am Hof, the sewer entrance at Girardi Park. The rain-washed cobblestones, and the shadows and echoes down the narrow passages still vividly recall the world of Harry Lime.
Will try to get out to ZentralFriedhof too, for the grave. Although of course it doesn't exist, I still know exactly where to find "it". (^_-)
Final task before we leave. To take coffee at Cafe Central where it seems Hitler, Stalin, Trotsky, Tito, Kafka and Freud were all habitues at more or less the same time around 1913...
Little bit confused. Initially he claimed some BNP supporter photoshopped it, now that it was edited down from his real views.
I would presume if it is real (and I always start by not believing pictures on twitter e.g. all that HoC nonsense), I would think that whatever paper letter was published in will be in the records for somebody to check.

Hi Rod. Sounds like an interesting place to visit.
Maybe not constituency polls but Populus have combined all their polls for November (fieldwork: 5 to 27 November 2014) and have breakdowns by cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow on page 44 here:

I lived there for four years as a kid - too young to appreciate all the culture (my parents used to go to the operettas at the Volksoper every week), but I remember it as pretty darned impressive all the same, though not in those days an ideal place to live (good affordable flats were rare - not sure what it's like now) and still suffering from postwar ill-feeling with people muttering about former Nazis living in comfort.
We rented the former Dutch Embassy reception suite, which was palatial but didn't have central heating - one room had a big stove which we kept stoked with paper/wood/coal/coke combinaitons, and that room was always too hot, while the others got heat filtering through. The wiring was through a fuse box which seemed to be totally random, as was the plumbing - pour anything too quickly down the sink and it would come up in the bath. Later we moved to a modern block, with central heating but cramped and without character, and we were really happier in the weird old Dutch place.

I think he's referring to another picture.
The letter is real and has been referred to in the past from the LexisNexis database. It is from The Guardian, 26th June 1997.
Rod Yes, Vienna looks a great city for a long weekend break
Couldn't agree more. Forget hotels though, which are horrendously expensive. You should be able to find a reasonably-priced apartment on either AirBnB or HouseTrip. Taxis, food, public transport and entrance fees to museums, etc are all on the cheap side of reasonable. I thought my schlecht Deutsch would be a handicap, but it turns out almost everyone speaks English and many signs are in English also.

"Fisher: "Greens seem to have got 25% of the student vote at the Euros but @BESResearch suggests most of that will go back to Labour""
Fisher: "Traditional pattern of opposition decline and government growth ahead of an election might not be holding this time"
