Sorry to hear that - feel free to get in touch for a chat. I've got to go to Taunton today from Vienna. It's going to be difficult, back in Vienna from late on Sunday.

Surprised they haven't rebranded him Tommy Tugs. #iykyk

Will miss your weekly podcasts. And big up to @someonejelly.bsky.social for that Moin! And @maddox84.bsky.social I did have to laugh that Spotify transcribed Nic's pronunciation of your name as "Cybermannix". Cheers from Wien to Tschüsseldorf!

Along with still getting precious about using fifty pound notes. Yes, there used to be fakes in circulation (just as there were fake pound coins). I usually have a 100 Euro note on me - unless I try and buy a solitary pack of gum, it is accepted without demur.

I remember 40 years ago that my father got angry with a guy wearing an ID card on a lanyard, peddling stuff, and had a rare rant about it. I've never been bothered having to carry two here in Austria (voluntary Personalausweis and a health insurance card). I file it under exceptionalism.

"Oida!" would have been the only response I suspect. Viennese doing laconic.

Surely Stollen and Cheese is the legacy of the podcast? Unless it is stave churches and Corny bars (handled in depth in Episode 1!)

Big up for the moin greeting! And yes I also had it hard-baked into me "no swimming straight after lunch!" It must have been an 80s-90s thing.

My wife and colleagues found it hilarious when I told them. Harumph.

Maybe I have to send in a question about your (collective and personal) thoughts on breakfast buffet etiquette!

I really enjoyed the various legs apart from being berated about my slowness at a Hamburg breakfast buffet by a lady, who clearly was planning the contents of her family's packed lunch, and accused me of being on my first single parent holiday!

Will make sure I catch up on 242-245, which I've missed while on holiday and send a message from Vienna!
