All British stereotypes are true!
Recently I visited England for the 4th time, or was it my 3rd time, perhaps my 5th, who knows, lets say it was my 4th time. The trip was all about British comedy and walking around exploring all the interesting things London has to offer.
But on the first day I realised that all of the stereotypes, myths and jokes are true. We were on our way to see the I’m sorry I haven’t a clue...

Chairman Humph
People I admire are the ones who do what they love and because of that are good at it, and the man this post is about certainly fits into that category!
Humphrey Lyttelton, or Humph as many prefer to call him, was born on 23rd of May 1921 at Eton college to a father who was house master there, so he naturally went to Eton and everyone expected him to become a lawyer or have a similar more...

Went to see Neil Innes perform live. Seeing him live was on my “very long to do before I die list”. The list still includes things like go to an NBA basketball game, watch I’m sorry I haven’t a clue live, and many other very random things.
But back to Neil Innes. The mini concert started at around 8pm and after 2 encores lasted until 10.30 pm, we did demand another...

No snow, no show
As the title, which is the slogan of the smiling man above named Marc Berthod,suggests this one will be all about snow, well mainly about skiers.
Just spent a very enjoyable weekend watching world cup skiing in Kranjska Gora. I’ve been watching skiing on TV for about 10 years now, ever since I first saw Benjamin Raich ski (pictured below giving an interview for ORF).
This has been my...

The British are lovely...
Overwhelmed doesn’t begin to describe how I feel right now, baffled, full of joy, confused, fan struck, dazzled come close! But most of all grateful.
Just came back from a overall perfect trip in London. Here are some of the photos that show the highlights of my trip.
First night I spent watching adults make complete idiots of themselves and loved every second of it! Karaoke Circus was...

London calling
Planing a trip to London this December for 8 days. I’ve been to London twice before so it won’t be that much of sightseeing. I’ve planned a perfect schedule including watching tennis legends at the Albert Hall, going to the Comedy store to see the players perform, go and laugh at Jeremy Hardy stand up, listen to Rufus Wainwright, Martha and their mum sing the the Albert Hall and...

23 and counting....
Last week has been very exciting, I worked every single day since last Monday so it was also a very tiring week.Somewhere in the mist of all the work I managed to “celebrate” my 23rd birthday. Well the celebration was the weekend before my birthday when we went to a casino to win some money, well only 20 euros but it was a fun night out. 23 years old is what I am now, somehow birthday...

I love the “this is my brain part!”
Goodbye Blue Monday!
As Monday (Tuesday) the 10th of November slowly turns into Tuesday (Wednesday) the 11th of November I always think of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., who was born on the 11th.
He was a great writer and his books are full of memorable quotes, thoughts and random silly bits so if you haven’t already go out buy and read Slaughterhouse 5 or A Man Without a Country or both you will not regret it!

Let the skiing commence...
The beginning of the skiing world cup season starts this weekend which to me represents the start of winter. Hoping for my favourite, Benni Raich, to win the overall and a couple of medals and to see a successful comeback of Daniel Albrecht who feel badly last year.

I’m of course talking about Charlie Chaplin, director, composer, actor, comedian,etc and Albert Einstein, Nobel award winning theoretical physicist. Two such different people, each brilliant in their own fields, both shaped the world and influenced so many people. Albert...

Quote 1 - Neil deGrasse Tyson

The authors range from deep thoughts of Bertrand Russell to Willie Rushtons puns. This is the first post in a hopefully series of weekly quotes from my collection. First qoute that inspired me comes from the American astrophysicist...

J'adore art
The only thing I really enjoyed immensely in Paris was the vast art it offers.Don’t get me wrong Paris is a lovely, very expensive city, to visit.As an huge art fan, to the sadness of my fellow traveler, I spent a nice amount of time in the Louvre and D’Orsay.Here are some photos from the before mentioned museums.
The Louvre:
Romulus and Remus
Delacroix
