My Big Gap Year: Family Thighs
07-12-09
THIS week finds me in the Austrian capital - birthplace of such legendary musicians as Mozart and genius Band Aid 20 creator, Midge Ure. However, people forget that there's a dark underbelly to this place which involves doing stuff with your dad that I'd rather not even think about.

I decided to take in some culture at the Viennese Museum of Fine Arts, but what I learned instead was that Austrians have actually been bonking their rellies since the beginning of time. The collection was amassed by the Hapsburgs, a family who just couldn't keep their hands out of each other's pants. They even developed these mad sticky-out jaws, which is what happens when you take too much E, but apparently also if you fellate your brother too many times. One time, we were playing truth or dare at one of Martha Pickering's sleepovers and the question came up 'How much money would you accept to shag your brother?' and everyone just went 'NO WAY!' - apart from Martha, who said she'd do it for five grand but actually that was understandable and if we were honest, her brother was only reason we were at her sleepover in the first place. But I saw some pics of those Hapsburgs and they just looked like mentalists with big spammy chins - not a bit like Martha Pickering's brother. I thought to myself 'What the hell is wrong with this country?'. And in the words of Midge, Vienna's most famous export, 'Well tonight thank God it's them instead of me'.
But then I remembered the Vonn Trapp family singers! I am almost 98% certain they weren't having sex with each other, even though they no doubt shared bedrooms and had no X Boxes to fill up the hours of boredom. Instead of getting their kicks in the most heinous of ways, they brightened up their days with the joy of song, which is exactly what Midge Ure, Mozart and all the other famous composers from here must have done when they felt the urge to chat up their dads. And that's what makes Vienna the greatest city in the world.
