...do various vouchers which can make good presents for friends. The façade, which dates from the 1930s actually looks quite impressive by night and inside the cinema is fully modernised, and the auditoria (12) are all well equipped. I was in one of the bigger screens, which held about 500 people, some of the smaller ones only hold about 120 or so maximum. I went to see Bridget Jones’ diary with friends last night, it having only just come out in Austria, and was a bit disappointed by the comfort of our seats (although we were only there 15 mins in advance). We paid ATS 85 (ca. £4) a head for seats on the right hand side with a slightly uncomfortable view of the screen in the third row and the legroom was not particularly ample, especially if you are over 5’8” tall. Ticket prices vary between ATS70 and ATS110 with a wide... Read review

Advantages: small download, good search options, various formats to share
Disadvantages: large amount of porn, downloads rarely successful, poor d/l rates

..., and whilst it could locate several copies of the same file and resume downloads, I found that generally only about 1 in 6 files actually went through. Another thing is that imesh will automatically open upon start-up if not careful, so you can end up having your limited bandwidth sucked dry by people wanting your stuff. Make sure you choose for it not to start automatically. In short I wouldn’t bother with it. My latest filesharing software is morpheus from musiccity.com – which looks to be a far better alternative – I downloaded Bridget Jones’ Diary last night (download ca. 4 hours!) and have found a lot of good tracks on it, although it can still be misused....

Disadvantages: drinks are quite pricy

..., serving a wide range of cocktails, beers (bottled) and spirits. A G+T will set you back approximately ATS 100 (ca. £4.60) although when you add a tip to that you are talking roughly £5 for a double. The bar in the top dance floor area has quite a lot of seating around it and the mirrored walls give the impression of making the place seem larger than it is. In the bottom dance floor, the bar is in the alcove underneath the staircase that takes you in to the club. There is a cloakroom, which charges ATS 12 (55p) an item, and items can be claimed back on production of the cloakroom ticket you are given. The club, being relatively small is always fairly busy, with the music generally being R&B/Hip Hop. I usually visit with friends, rather than on my own, and meet up with other people I know in here. In my previous life (when I was little boy lost... Read review

...and herbal butter, and there was also a selection of bread (various unleavened breads as well as rye and corn breads) to compliment the starters. For the less adventurous there are also soups, which are slightly less expensive (ATS66-88 £3-4) than the other starters (Starters ATS 88- ATS 148 ca. £4-7). The main courses are predominantly meat based, which is very much in keeping with traditional Austrian cuisine, which the only slight flaw being the omission of a genuine vegetarian option (although this is often the case in Austria, with vegetarianism only now being taken into consideration in Vienna, and in many other places there is still a complete absence of vegetarian options – salad seems to suffice in the eyes of many restaurateurs). The main courses are again hearty, with various meats, ranging from duck, beef, pork through to turkey... Read review
