Austria v Kazakhstan … or another night on the lash? - Undecided

I’m in Austria at the moment on business, but realized that the Euro qualifier against Kazakhstan takes place tonight near Salzburg.

While sitting like ‘Billy-No-Mates’ on my own last night in a local bar I started checking out the possibilities on my BlackBerry.

After one large local beer I had established that my journey to the Red Bull Stadium would entail taking a tram, train and finally, a taxi.

After my second beer it had become clear that it would cost me less – all in – than a trip up to London to watch a Premier League side.

After the third beer I had worked out that the text on BlackBerries gets smaller the more Austrian lager you drink.

After the fourth beer the travel times seemed ‘do-able’, but the 02.30 train back was a bit of a problem.

After the fifth beer a 02.30 train was suddenly no problem – the road trip to Salzburg was on!

After coffee and a continental breakfast this morning I thought: Bollocks to that, I’ll watch it on the telly … with a beer.
