Stellar work by Captain Jim Bedford to overcome tough, blustery conditions to land smoothly in DUB. It prompted a smattering of applause, similar to the sarcastic type you used to get on Ryanair flights back in the day except I sensed a real genuine element amongst those that partook. A form of genuineness Brian Cody looked for in his players. I might even be home in time for kick off at Celtic Park now, as my life partner has Celtic TV set up for me. A top, top day of international business travel only partly spoiled by that awkwardness when you bump into people you dealt with at the meeting in the airport & have to sit with them for a while.

. Not far from there is U Taliana, Italian restaurant and is the finest.
Vienna - normally brought to places there so I just go with the flow. I do remember going to the The Bell Pub-Bar-Restaurant, had a good night there once. But if you can organise it as I don’t think you can just walk in, look to go to one of the traditional Austrian restaurants and go for the beef broth dish 
, Zum weißen Rauchfangkehrer is a lovely night out

If the terrorists hit the hotel hide in the wardrobe.
I met a lad who hid for two days in a wardrobe during the 2008 Mumbai attacks surviving on his mini bar contents

I’d imagine so. I think he was charged for the stay as well.
He said he could hear explosions and shooting and it was like a game of hide and seek where you die if you are found.
