Let's hear it for Huntsman

Today whilst on the pc I came across a fun site .Lots of quizzes to do and then submit for the result .
Seems that character Huntsman ( he who has many comments to make on my blog ) either works for this group or, set the system up. Here is my result . I'm not 100% convinced as power/looks and money actually leave me cold ...Seems a mixture somwhere between Carrie and Sam is on the cards . SINCE :- sure enough , one question , which could have been answered two ways brought about the second.
HOWEVER - The tuth of the matter is ......
I am most of all like .....me !

Miss Vixen Predicts .......

It is a truth universally acknowledged that those born on 10th July and in a Cinema, are given magical insights. My rather out of the ordinary 'entry' , due to a comedy ( it caused my mother to laugh too much ) seems to have also given me a talent to spot the unpleasant. The latest of which being .. who else but Blair .
Reader, much as I would love to think that in a few weeks we will hear no more of this specimen , my powers tell me that even worse is to come .
Question 1/ Why is Blair waiting until the end of June ?
Question 2/ Why did Blair have a 1 to 1 meeting with that most unfeminine of women Angela Merkel?
Question 3/ Why did Blair suddenly refuse the British public a promised referendum on the European Constitution ?
Quite simply I believe a deal has been done between Merkel and Blair . In her revamped version there is a place for a permanent President .
You don't actually need to be Einstein or gifted with insight to fathom the rest .
Blair may at last be stepping down from his ghastly control of UK ,only to resume an even mightier dictatorship in Brussels .All expenses paid and no taxes .
Sovereignty will be gone but hey ,so what King Tony is in .. just as he has always wished . Read the following headline seen today . The use of the word reign says it all:-

"Tony Blair's reign as Labour leader will end on June 24"

A promise is a promise and must be kept . The public need, as never before,to insist on this or Tony Blair will continue to lie , cheat , and prosper at our expense .
To use those famous words....YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU : Insist on the referendum.

Blair's latest scandal -a 'Major' omission.

All looks set for a new era for Ireland and today could stand as an example to many countries troubled with not only religious differences but divided territory .
One blot is to tarnish this otherwise perfect moment ...... BLAIR !
Feeble example of a politician that he is and gifted merely with a mighty ego , Blair is determined to leave office with a decent legacy. So much so ,that he is bent on taking all the credit for Ireland .... to the extent that John Major, ( former British Prime Minister) has not been invited .
John Major is the person responsible for initiating the peace with the Good Friday Agreement.Without his work Blair would never have 'inherited .' Indeed he would be leaving number 10 remembered only for his lies, Iraq , scandals involving favours and criminals . His domestic record within UK is poor and all his fine words have proved to be just that HOT AIR .
Major to Minor , never did these words have such significance . Could this be why Blair has excluded Major . Major was a 'major' player and did it all with a quiet dignity .
We can but hope that this latest scandal of Blair's is the last . His own party want him out , the public want him out . Now all that remains is for him to go and remember , those of us with brains and a memory know the truth . Something he himself is not well acquainted with .

Lady in Red or Scarlet Woman.

Ok, so never let it be said that I dont take a risk !

I give you all the chance to look , ponder and take your pick . Quite simply, which do you think looks best ? Also which would you rather be seen with ? No need for answers even , unless that is you feel a ' burning urge '

I spotted the sign in a shop window this afternoon . Could have been written for me ! Enjoy the fun......

Under wraps !

You don't have to read the global warming stories to know it's been a very mild winter . Warm weather has been with us for weeks.

Wonderful for some but not so for fur lovers ! However the ever versatile and fashion conscious Miss V has been adding to her appearance by wearing what can best be described as a traffic stopper ! Not mink or fox . Nothing very expensive .. but oh so tasteful ....

Gloves...... yes sexy , gloves . Some long, some short . Some lacy some velvety . She has the lot and the reaction has been astonishing .

Her hand has been taken and kissed by complete strangers ! Positively Jane Austenish . In restaurants and shops, compliments have been passed to such an extent as to make her write this piece .

In an age where 'baring all 'is the norm it would appear that many yearn for the magic of mystery .

Above we see Ms Vixen in red ( most apt ) with boots , shawl and gloves to compliment .

She suggests all ladies try this simple but effective fashion tip and adds :-" Remember , beautiful gifts are always perfectly wrapped ."

Helena Mikas knows good food and good sex !

In Sex and the City , Carrie Bradshaw , we are told ,'knows good sex.'
Well she isn't alone ! Take me for example . As well as being secretary to Miss Vixen(Berlin's Very Foxy Lady),I do find time for a rather varied and colourful life and from time to time enjoy passing on excellent tips re Berlin to all who visit this blog .
Now Ms V and I are of the opinion that good sex plus good food , go together ! In as much as one puts you in the mood for the other ....

A favourite eating place is as follows :-

"Da Nardino" . This is a terrific spot offering Italian specialties at Kantstraße 36 , 10625 Charlottenburg. Bus X 34, M49 , M101 , SBahn Station Savigny Platz , UBahn Wilmersdorf ,
telephone 312 8025 . They also offer a marvellous party service .
Each day the selection of dishes leaves one in a quandary as to what to choose . meat , fish , veggie food and pasta dishes all cooked from fresh ingredients . AND ::::::::::: WAIT FOR IT !
Served in a none smoking environment . Prices begin at 5 euro ! The wine is great and as for the olive bread .. yummy .

Da Nadino staff are the tops . This is a must visit place for any one coming to Berlin.

The down side is they only serve from lunch to 6pm . But the good news is that should you be planning an intimate dinner, you can select ... they will pack and then all you have to do is pamper yourself ......set the scene and serve the food . Mouth watering on all fronts , so to speak !

As I said,Carrie Bradshaw may know good sex , but Helena Mikas also knows good food .

Message for Tony Blair

Yes this is yours truly, Miss Vixen, over four years ago holding a rather simple message . Sentiments shared by many , now virtually all. Yet still this man clings to power ensuring his tainted values touch as much as possible .

Now it seems more than likely his aids are to be charged with corrupt dealings . Oh who needs outside regimes with this mob ?

Plus he has broken his word on a referendum ( hardly surprising ) regarding the EU constitution a British public do not want .

This on top of selling UK out to USA by allowing Trident missiles to be stationed on our soil . Oh was ever Britain so cursed ?

To justify his latest dirt , Bliar , ( yes best name for him ) says he had to risk being accused of "selling out "as like all British Premiers he had to choose between being guilty of isolationist policies or treason . Why ... his isolationist stance against Europe when going along with a Pack of Lies Bush never worried him .

Like a typical dictator he ignores the wishes and views of the public . I ask you all to be so good as to drop him a line saying .

" Good bye Tony , goodbye Tony , goodbye Tony it's time for you to go ! "

ABORTION. A 'no man's land' ,but every woman's right!

This is a photograph of members of the US Supreme Court.

Is there a qualification for being a judge ? Errr it sure looks like it .

Anyhow this (rather unrepresentative when it comes to pregnancy ) group have upheld the ban on abortion procedures. By a vote of 5 -4. Note the gender majority . Yes , look hard there is one woman ! Having voted 'against' she is alarmed by the outcome of this vote . She isnt alone .

I will leave off from making anymore comments at this point ! On reading such fundamental legislation I experience a nausea which, unlike any 'morning sickness' wont go away !

Out of India .

So they're rioting in India due to a kiss on the cheek and a hug by two film stars !
Yet another example of the male controlled nature of religion and politics .Curtail that which is pleasant and human by denouncing as taboo whilst ignoring pain ,suffering and squalor .
When last in India and in New Delhi I was sickened by the sight of men urinating in the streets . The stench from this was hardly Chanel. Early each morning workers would walk along throwing handfuls of chlorine to disinfect .. Seemingly acceptable . Then the countless families living and sleeping on the road sides .. another norm . Also the horror of countless limbless babies made so to render them more of a money raiser by their own mothers .These infants are then doped with powerful sleeping potions .Yes , you have guessed , this too is acceptable .
No riots though over such ghastly sights and practices . No quibbling over culture.
I am all for respecting culture but fail to see what crime Gere and Shetty have committed .
The event these two stars were at was to raise awareness of HIV /Aids among Indian truck drivers .. Seems those 'men of impeccable morals', ie) the Hindu Nationalists are not interested in discussing the reason for the rates of disease. Is this because truck drivers are male or is it yet another case of 'looking the other way '.
We are in 2007 . It is not perfect but while there are those who only live in the past our present is on' pause ' and therefore any future is far from perfect .

What goes around comes around .

Oh how very true .Yesterday I read that the US thinks Iran may be helping Iraqis build bombs . If it weren't so terrible in terms of human life ,I could laugh . However this is not only shocking it is another example of blatant hypocrisy . Reader do try and get a copy of John Simpson's book :- 'Lifting the Veil . Life in Revolutionary Iran.' Written in 1995 it tells of how America not only encouraged the Iran / Iraq war but, made it possible for Saddam Hussein ( the then blue eyed boy ) to have spy satellite information . The result .. countless dead and eight years of hell. Along with UK they provided all the weapons Saddam needed and of course made a very nice profit . You may think I am crazy saying this .. Well then read that book . The isbn is 0340657251 .

WAR on TERROR a GREAT BIG ERROR !

To those who think I have a bee in my bonnet ,please consider the following headline seen on Yahoo today :-
'US- British war on terror , backfires: think tank......
We are then told the following:-

"The 'war on terror' is failing and actually increasing the likelihood of more terrorist attacks," the Oxford Research Group said in its study, titled "Beyond Terror: The Truth About The Real Threats To Our World."
It says that Britain and the United States have used military might to try to "contain" problems as opposed to attempting to uproot the causes of terrorism.
Furthermore it states that such an approach, particularly the 2003 invasion of Iraq, had,actually increased the likelihood of terror attacks .
The study also found the British government's plans to upgrade the submarine-based Trident nuclear deterrent could produce international instability.
There is much more so here is a link to the site :-
www.oxfordresearchgroup.org.uk/publications/books/beyondterror.php - 23k

Never let it be said that we the public didn't say so . So I suggest a return to protests .
After all it is our lives that are at risk . Those evil powers of Washington and London are extremely safe in their all expenses paid 'bubble'.

Poverty, an enemy worth fighting .

Yet again a bus stop picture .
For none German speakers it is an ad based on the "eeny, meeny, miney mo" rhyme.
The idea is to conjure up an image of children with their counting selection chant.
Only here they say "ene mene muh" followed by , ( I translate ) "POOR ARE YOU."
We are then informed that every 5th child in Berlin and Brandenburg lives in Poverty.
The European Union definition of such is .. at best ridiculous. When all are fed , have a roof , free schooling and access to full medical care (also free) then I take issue .
I would refer all to the following :-
http://www.poverty.com/
This is about real poverty .That which happens to two thirds of the world .Where one meal a week is a luxury ,schools a dream and health care something which seldom happens .
PLEASE take time . See how your country is doing in honouring it's promise made way back ! Sweden / Denmark / Norway / Luxembourg/ and Netherlands are the only countries to have kept their word .
You ,yes you reader can find a link there to print a letter already prepared for your own Government and send it . WHAT I ask you will that cost save a stamp and a few minutes of your time ?
NOTE On the top right side of this site is counter which gives the death toll for each hour . Death from poverty related factors ..
If this plea reaches but one of you then my blog has done some good . Tell others about http://www.poverty.com/
If a government can see it's way to funding weapons from taxes , I see no reason why they can't honour a pledge to save lives using the same revenue .

Miss Vixen meets The Easter Rabbit .

One sees the most amazing things at Berlin bus stops and also meet some fascinating characters .
Today of all days,at the bus stop in Theodor Heuss Platz ,who should come along but ... The Easter Rabbit ! As you will see he was was giving out eggs and invites .
A very Happy Easter to you all no matter where you are .
The world is still at war but there is always hope . It comes through dialogue , tolerance and each one doing their bit to build bridges NOT destroy .

America go sh - t in your own backyard !

Most readers know that Miss Vixen is no fan of US politics,
To her they give off a smell as putrid as dog dirt and are equally as unpleasant .
The average citizen of America appears oblivious to the filth and risk to others. They merely wonder as to why they are not very popular around the world.
Miss V likens them to dog owners. You know the sort. Take the mutt out anywhere to foul . Yes anywhere that is,save their own backyard. Hey and don't even bother cleaning up after.
USA is siting missiles and shields where ever it can. Not at home though. Ask yourself do you see them letting say UK or China build bases in their country!
They have a naval air fleet of massive size in the Persian Gulf .Purely as a means of pressure on Iran .Now they are asking Turkey to further open up Incirlik airbase so they can expand and target Iran from there .
Yes their nasty defecation's are just about everywhere. What is needed is a giant pooper scooper to gather them up and dump the lot back where they belong .In the US.
This week ,Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinedschad has released the fifteen British Naval personnel .
Good will gesture or a stunt who cares .As Miss Vixen says ,we have yet to see the US release the Iranians kidnapped by them ,not to mention countless others .
Today Berlin's Very Foxy Lady told me about having had the misfortune to speak with a US service man recently. Not only did he not know what a pacifist is ,he informed her that he saw his duty simply as monthly pay cheque therefore asked no questions and followed orders .
Her reply was in true foxy fashion as she told him that as like as not Nazi soldiers and hired killers felt the same.
Bush is now trying to play the "oh if we leave Iraq there will be ethnic cleansing "
Sorry Bush .. bad card that .It's what you cowboys did to the Indians !!

No Show Without Punch !

Here he is again . America's answer to Mr Punch .
For those not familiar Punch is a nasty aggressive puppet who enjoys beating just about everyone up .
As a child I loathed the violence of Mr Punch . As an adult ..Mr Bush
The worlds number one liar has stated that Iran's detention of 15 British sailors was "inexcusable ". He has gone on to say that the government in Tehran must release them immediately .
Hey Bush - not all see you as God , even if you believe you are.
You had your troops take Iranian diplomats hostage .This from their offices and we all know such places are classified as out of bounds .
You also turn a blind eye to torture and illegal detention carried out by US military. You created a war on false charges . Yes thanks to you, America has broken every rule of the Geneva Convention.
The correct position of the British Ship has yet to be known . For sure I don't look to you or your 'poodle' for TRUTH .As two who deal in lies why should we believe you.
What is interesting is ,the authorities in Iran have treated the 15 with human dignity . No torture. No murder.No sick sex porno acts for photo shoots. No beatings with individuals on their knees,blindfolded and gagged.
Maybe, just maybe, you and your guys could learn a thing or two.
Meanwhile you remain the worlds ´nastiest ,most evil and despised man . What an honour !

Family Honour or Family Business.

This image was emailed to me early this morning. I felt sick and disgusted to consider the following .


To finish a job for his rather low IQ father and former president :-
A low IQ son and current president set out to ensure the capture and death of Saddam Hussein.
NB Never once had he put such efforts into the capture of Bin Laden since :-
The aforementioned is related to good friends of the low IQ father.
But as if that were not enough ,he made it easy for his father's buddy ( a Vice president to both ) to indulge in oil theft and corrupt business contracts on a grand scale .Armed with a pack of lies and a rigged UN ,the very low IQ president made a preemptive strike on a sovereign nation.
Four years on this nation is both in ruins and a blood bath . Saddam Hussein is dead having been charged with the death of 148 Kurds .
In the last seven days as many Iraqis have died . Not to mention that since that fatal ,illegal day ie) 20th March 2003 ,hundreds of thousands of decent Iraqis have perished .Who among you can recall the trumped up rhetoric about democracy as the precious gift to these people ? Mind you . Who among you really cares ?
We all know that the low IQ president told lies, yet he still remains. He is responsible for so much death and misery and yet goes free .
Nothing like keeping it in the family is there ?
For more well researched facts about this not so pleasant family do read works by Michael Moore and yes , try Google search .Especially:-

Hot and Bothered.

Whilst out and about your intrepid Miss Vixen spotted the above.
For sure the green clad, supposedly male would ever be allowed over her door step.
Somewhat resembles an effeminate lizard. As for the sexy vibrating banana which claims to better than a man. Ladies, Miss V says "if you prefer that to the real thing you need help !" She went on to add :-
"It's true ,good men don't grow on trees , but be real, be imaginative . Plastic plus latex bananas are just not creative . They are SAD . When Sally Bowles sang, 'Come to the Cabaret' she was preaching her concept of 'Divine decadence' . I doubt she would have included such ! "
Right now Miss Vixen is recovering from the shock . A warm day plus this, well shall we say it has shaken her .
Off now to make her a coffee. Hope it does the trick .

Helena Mikas . Berlin
ps) she asked me to issue this warning :-
Don't turn you bedrooms into a Banana Republic.

City of The Rising Sun.

 

Not only does Berlin have spectacular sunsets, the sunrises are also breathtaking .
Today as I got off the bus in Neue Kantstrasse there was a huge blood red sun to be seen through the trees ! My standing in the middle of the road to take some shots horrified several Germans BUT,due to rushing I got the angle wrong. It was that or death. Later on leaving the S Bahn at Bundes Platz the entire platform appeared to be glowing .
Berlin I love what you bring each day ! It's free , magnificent and perfect for the very foxy lady who is glad to call this "home".

Liar , Liar .... Pants On Fire !

So Mr Blair ( sorry Bliar ) you stated that the marines taken by the Iranians as trespassing in their waters were not where they shouldn't be .
In so doing you have just given the game away . They must have been ! For it is a fact universally acknowledged that :-
You are a prize liar . You and your buddy ( no Master ), G W Bush have a massive naval build up in the Gulf . That aforementioned clown of a President thinks it was fine for his country to take Iranian diplomats hostage .
Errr are we back to the white , Caucasian , christian club again ? Sure looks like it .
By the way Mr Bliar .Yes I do mean Bliar . You certainly caused a bad smell in this city over the weekend and security measures just for you , made our simple ordinary lives a bit of a hell .
Why don't you try living with the risks Mr Bliar . If people don't like you ask why .
So much of the misery today is all down to you and your boss .Yes I mean Bush .
Get real , quit freeloading and quit British politics . You have brought nothing but shame on that country .
ps) It was the 50th anniversary of the EU .A gravy train for Euro MP's and their like . We had roads empty of buses and long walks all due to security gone mad . Reason ....... Blair was amongst the guests . Over head helicopters hovered the entire time .Not sure about being at a party . It felt more like a stage set of 1984 coupled with Animal Farm . The "pigs" were having a lush time believe me.

As Time Goes By .

I do remember this ...
March last year and I was ill in hospital . As a result I missed creating a web site with the help of 'Gorilla '.
Being the nice type he is he did sort me out with this blog . It had to be as he was leaving Berlin and the blog was a quick fix and stop gap.
Wherever you are Gorilla many thanks ! March the 26th was 1st blog date(I think)and Miss Vixen is still going strong .
Whilst in Denmark I spotted this and it is to YOU I say .......
Thanks Gorilla , you are the greatest . Happy hugs and whatever else turns you on .
ps/ Hope you had a terrific St Patrick's weekend .

Fawlty Towers or faulty English ?

Seen today whilst making a hotel booking for travel within Turkey .

"All rooms has their own private Bath rooms
decorated with marbles
and panoramic Balconates to
preserve your intimacy "

Don't know about you but I love a game of marbles and am fascinated by the preservation of my intimacy !

Boots are made for Maria Tembrink mode.

 

Here you see my latest Maria Tembrink number . This little black dress looks a million dollars with boots . Such classic simplicity is great for all occasions .
The special feature of it is .. it doubles as a sweater . Show you that another time ...

Boots are made for --------

 

Somebody asked how many pairs of boots I have in my wardrobe . The simple answer is ,lots .
This little collage shows some you may not have seen. The central boot is one my Laura Biagotti pair (bought in Sweden ). See also middle row R .I've nicknamed my Hells Angel boots and love wearing. Seems men like them too !
Then we have my truly wicked over the knee leather boots (top row centre,bottom row L and R) .These come quite high up the leg ... and are called my Puss in Boots boots ( amongst other names )
The ankle boots (top row R)are both chic and high . Then you see a pair in suede and leather which come just below the knee.(top row L , middle row L, bottom row,centre) Great worn with jeans ..
I took these shots using the self timer.. My photography skills lack a certain something so will leave the rest until my first rate photographer is here .

Retrospective .

 

As ever,being back in Berlin is magic. Sweden and Denmark are fabulous , but for me this strange city is the tops !
Today I was asked what made the biggest impression on me during my travels. Difficult, but after due thought and consideration the winners are -------
1) the archipelagos off the coast of Sweden. These are hauntingly beautiful .My small collage does not even begin to come close .A good reason for you to visit.
2) the Danish Film Institute in Copenhagen. I may well go once a month just for this . Why ?
From 2pm-10pm each day, one can have access to the film archives . These contain so many sensational documentaries . The range of topics is beyond belief and I was hooked . The first four I pulled,at random mind , were all riveting . That did it .
For my "intermission" there was the restaurant Sult (situated in the building),where the menu is also hard to beat . Suitably refreshed I was back for more viewing.
My only regret is that this wealth of worthwhile media is not for purchase .
One piece however I do plan to try and get. The Institute have given me all details and you can be certain Miss Vixen will do her best.
These were a few of my choices.(with my ratings )
a) Abortion,a lonely choice .A = 9/10
b)Prostitution behind the veil.A+ = 10/10
c) Crime and punishment Arctic style. A+ =10/10
d) My Irish Diary. A = 9/10

Vixen Airlines ? Beats Flybe .

A security man at the art gallery took the photograph. Maybe it will help you realize the size of this work of art .. no , no,not Miss Vixen .. the plane !
* NOTE :-
On checking my email late tonight I discovered that BA Connect have sold out to Flybe .
a) whoever is responsible for such a move ?
b) Is Flybe the the best name the operators could come up with ?
I may be biased but consider Vixen Airlines has a much better ring .

Louisiana Revisited

Today I returned to this wonderful art gallery . Here are pictures of three pieces which I found fantastic and fascinating.
The plane is by a German artist and is created in lead, using teeth and snake skin for decoration . The size of this work is difficult to convey to you.
The two figures are created in bronze .The male is called 'storm' the female 'hurricane'.
Finally, the female nude is displayed as the artist intended. ie ) upside down . What is also interesting... it is painted using his fingers .
There was so much more . But for now that is it . I'm off to get ready and go out .

Goodbye and Hello

Today I left Gothenburg .Maybe a kilo or so heavier than on arrival and that's not simply my suitcase ! However a good time had been had . One last look at the scene from Radisson and off to the station for a train ride to Copenhagen. By midday the weather was brilliant sunshine. As the train crossed the bridge after Malmo the setting sun was spectacular . So much so that I moved across the carriage to take a picture .... Too late though . In that short time we had moved into a thick swirling misty fog .
On arrival in the Danish capital all seemed as last time ,but soon the noise of police sirens followed by wagon after wagon and one knew that still ,the trouble makers were active in places .
I have read that the little mermaid has been defaced by these layabouts, so plan to check it out .What a pity we have to suffer with what are best described as two legged cockroaches . Have they heard of work ? I wonder ....

Don't say Cheese say Boots !

Today I collected my new boots(by Laura Biagotti) and had a great time at the shop. The owner, seen here ( also yesterday ) showed me pictures of her husband and family . They are , like her ,lovely . Another amazing fact ....she has 27 cousins !
Then it was off to Haga where the coffee shops are superb.Later,yet another sea trip.
Now it's time to get ready for fun. Tomorrow there's a train journey to Copenhagen. Where it seems they are still rioting .

Early one Morning .

After an early start it was a very full day. Here we see :-
Miss Vixen and the Radisson . She then went on to find a marvellous pair of boots with the help of this young lady . Then down to the sea and out to the Islands .These are so beautiful and many still had snow . More pictures of them to follow. Only the last fifteen minutes at sea were spent in doors on the boat. Thanks to a fur and boots being on deck for nearly two hours had been possible .
Finally the purchase of a new mobile phone .Let's hope this one is trouble free.
Now it's time to eat and live it up .......
Seems there are riots in Copenhagen . Is this due to the planned visit of Berlins Foxy Lady ?

Says it all !

Last night the laptop went crazy . No doubt overwhelmed by this place. The password wouldn't unlock it and things sure looked bad . Mind you ,as a result I have to report that I did meet several rather nice men who, having done their best to help me ,insisted on buying drinks and a meal... ( ladies take note )
This morning armed with Toshiba workshop addresses a nightmare began .Taxis here are OTT with their rates and , wait for it, cost me just short of £50 in fares !
Having warranty ,I got a new keyboard ( yes there lay the problem) and all functioned, except this new one is Swedish ,the other was German so Tower of Babel became order of the day as letters typed incorrectly . Due to the endless patience of this man who runs the main Toshiba workshop things were sorted .Later Toshiba support line proved amazing as they ordered a German keyboard to be sent to Berlin and went through other problems .
Toshiba are tops in Sweden .
As I returned from my treks I saw a tram with a most apt destination . Why was I angered ? The rather stupid concierge had failed in his job .
I had asked about public transport and been fobbed off .He was too lazy to find out Had he done my £50 would have been £ 4 at the most .
So if you are ever in Gothenburg on a wet, wet, day ,try Toshiba but with public transport !
