Vienna protester glues himself to golden piano
NewsA man protesting about pension rights attached himself chemically to the famed golden piano in the grand lobby of the Austrian Parliament.
He called the piano ‘symbol of decadence and aloofness’, a good debating point.
Here’s the opening statement:
Mom often said that perhaps I needed to be glued to the piano bench in order to get me to practice. This guy’s Mom took it too far.
Made my day 😉 However, unfortunately not his bottom was glued to the chair but his left hand to the piano. There are not to many pieces written for the right hand only. He could give the “Piano suite for the right hand” from Soulima Strawinsky a try.
Or he could have played a Philip Glass piece with the hand that was glued to the keyboard
Yes, that would be riveting stuff. The entire book of Glass “Etudes” played that way.
He looks a pensioner. Has he nothing better to do
In his retirement.
Rather an ageist statement…
He cannot AFFORD to do anything!!
Bose Dörfler!
Presumably once the lights and heating turned off for the night, and the doors are closed, he’ll realise what a silly billy he’s been.
And I hope he went to the toilet beforehand…..
Guess he does not adhere to the rules. Groan.
Well, he’s working as an entertainer, albeit for free—what a way to undercut the competition for the limelight however.

Has anyone had trouble recently communicating with those folk masquerading as HM Revenue & Customs, specifically relating to National Insurance?
Their contact telephone number is useless and I have had to invoke my MP and solicitor to get them to reply to my cumulative, voluminous correspondence! As Terry Thomas would say, they are an absolute shower!
My broadband company is not better. I speak
To different members of staff. To discuss my
Account. They say they will get back to me.
It is a week iam still waiting
He obviously struck a chord!
Hitting the right note for, er, posterity.
He could play Cage 4’33 no problem
