Was in Brussels, Munich, Vienna and Prague.

Oh the beer, it would make you weep.

Nice! How was Vienna? Did you get up to much? It's a city that intrigues me.

Wow, just had an awesome hangover meal

my mum sometimes gives us goodies from her house when she's clearing out her fridge, so lucky me that she pulled a big steak from her freezer, so I took it out last night to defrost. now steak usually isn't great when it's been frozen, so I cooked it in some soy sauce and mirin and BAM it was absolutely gorgeous! Finishing up with a big cup of coffee and slice of carrot cake. Think I won't be eating for the rest of the week after that :pac:

Ye can't whack a decent steak alright.

You know, it might be sacreligious, but I'm not the worlds biggest steak fan. I'd often prefer a good piece of fish, normally cheaper and for my palette, tastier Freaked out my sister once when we were at a restaurant and I got a sea bass that still had it's head. I may or may not have faced it towards her a couple of times too

but yeah, sometimes a good steak just hits the spot

Really liked Vienna. Didn't do a whole lot specifically, we were happy to wander about and discover things ourselves. Went up to Prater Park, which has a theme park with free entry which was good craic. Also did a cruise along the Danube. There's loads of people pushing concerts and operas and such which is a bit off putting, even though we did go to an Opera in Prague :pac:

Never get fish when in a restaurant. Dunno why. Though I do enjoy it and eat salmon on a weekly basis. When there's a fillet steak on the menu it's hard to order anything else.

Would love to experience an opera. Vienna is apparently the place to do it. Where did you see the opera in Prague by the way? It was never on the agenda when I was there.

Links234

Well, steak is steak, there's not a whole lot of variety. good seafood is how I measure if a restaurant is good or not,

Also, between this thread and the pubs on, we're talking about good food, beer, travel and opera! we're coming over all cultured round these parts, aren't we?

It was in the Estates Theatre. We saw 'Don Giovanni', music written by Mozart, which was first performed there back in 1787, so that's pretty cool.

Reiketsu

How is everyone? Hope you all had a good weekend

Links234

Morning

Not so bad Reiketsu, saturday was great fun, I was out at my language/culture exchange group and that ended up just going on all night

Reiketsu

Haha, happy days then . I met some friends on Saturday and then had a friend come stay at mine for the night. Lots of drinks and crap food consumed!

Links234

Finally got around to watching Despicable Me :pac:

GLaDOS

Never watched either of them myself, is it worth bothering with?

Links234

Yeah, it's fun

Second one lulled a bit in the middle, but was still great. The first one is a must see. For anyone!

Dublin Red Devil

Metal Insider’s Top 5: Performances of Heavy Montreal 2014

Grayditch

I can imagine Babymetal running it's course sooner than later.

Links234

Oh my god, nobody cares! They played a festival over in Canada, wow, so did some 50 other bands or something, who cares?!

Links234

So, other than that, how's folks this morning?

Links234

Next time I'm in the possession of frozen steak, I'm trying this

Little bit devastated about Robin Williams

Links234

Yeah, came as quite a shock

Links234

Finally assembled all 4 editions!



Got the whole series, and am absolutely ****ing thrilled!

Something weird happened an hour ago. I linked someone to a Blood Ceremony track (My Demon Brother) because of the cool female vocals. She linked back to a Babymetal track and I felt obligated to listen out of politeness. And I liked it. Then I asked for another track and I liked that too. Now I've been going through Youtube checking out songs. I dunno what's wrong with me.

They're so happy! But metal... :mad::mad::mad: But HAPPY! :D But metal. :mad::mad::mad: They even have blast beats! :mad:

Edit: And I hit the limit of smiley faces in a post with that post.

Second Edit: I've gone of them since this last song. It's a bit nu metal. That I won't tolerate.

Third Edit: It's like the Eurovision collided with Wacken.

Hey All o/

Been a hectic last while - funerals everywhere!
Also; 2014 - a dark year for losing some fantastic cinema legends </3
Was heartbroken yesterday


So BabyMetal is still a thing? :P:cool:

Seeing Amon Amarth tonight - VIKINGS!! *charge* :D

Links234

Ah Babymetal are not bad by any stretch

Enjoy Amon Amarth tonight Zwillinge! And anyone else who's going

Thought it was today I supposed to be going to the hospital, but turns out I got dates mixed up and it isn't until tomorrow, so instead of spending a couple of hours waiting in the hospital feels like I've a free day now!

GLaDOS

Heading to Earth myself tonight

Just realised it's leaving cert results night so town will be mental most likely :rolleyes:

Links234

Results night? Oh dear, that's reminded me to hide under a rock :eek:

blastman

Couldn't decide between Amon Amarth or Earth, then realised I've no money so it's all moot anyway......
