DO THEY KNOW IT''S CHRISTMAS - Band Aid

It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all
Feed the world, feed the world, feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve.

No One - Alicia Keys

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry cause
Everythings going to be all right
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything is going to be all right.
No one, no one, no oooone
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you.
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain.
You and me together
Through the days and night
I don't worry cause everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything is gonna be alright.
No one, no one, no ooooone
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You,you
Can get in the way of what I feel .
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
I'm telling you that.
No one, no ooooone
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh, oh, oh...

Save The Last Dance For Me

You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile-every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the candle light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Oh I know that the musics fine
Like sparklin' wine,go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much
You can dance,go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he take you home,you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me.....

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun

Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah

Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah

Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the lord
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well maybe there’s a god above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who’d out drew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah (x12)

Last Christmas

Last christmas

Chorus:

Last christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Chorus:

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
Its been a year
It doesnt surprise me
Happy christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying I love you
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

Chorus

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My God I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus x2

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.

Jingle Bells

"Jingle Bells "

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

My day !

( MP3 soundtrack )

I wake up every morning at 7 o'clock and read my emails. I usually write a few words back in reply. Some of the emails make me laugh, every now and then one makes me want to cry.

Yesterday James wrote me an email about his boys playing hide and seek at home on Sunday. They had a great time. Their grandmother was also there, and the boys were a bit shy when it came to kiss her goodbye. Tommy wanted to turn aound and run, but James said that after a quick kiss they could have a nice drink of milk.

After the emails, I usually talk to a friend or two on the phone, and try to give them some good ideas for the day. Then I wait for my friend John to pick me up and take me to Vienna. If the weather is dry and sunny, then I may wash some shirts and hang them on the line to dry. While I am in the garden I often see Mrs Jones with her pram. She has twins and it is hard work for her to push the pram, especially when she has to pull her dog along after her as well. If I have time I open the gate and say hello, I always have to remember to close it again, because sometimes there are young children playing in the garden.

When I look out of my window, across the street I can see a huge garden, and in the Autumn I can smell dry leaves and cut grass. Once I was invited in to walk around among the trees, and I could see the flowers much better. The old couple who live there also invited me to drink some tea with them, and also gave me some cake to eat. Lovely!

The new Lötschberg Base Tunnel

The new Lötschberg Base Tunnel – Record performance on a millenium project, Switzerland ( youtube soundtrack below )

Look up Lötschberg in an atlas and it can't be found... because Lötschberg itself does not exist. Lötschberg is the name of the Alpine crossing between the Kandertal valley in the canton of Berne and the Lötschental valley in the canton of Valais. Nowadays Lötschberg is mostly associated with the new Lötschberg Base Tunnel, a railway tunnel from Frutigen to Raron, to which PORR also made a significant contribution. With a length of 34.6 km, it is not only one of the longest tunnels in the Alps, but also in the world. As part of the "European Corridors 24" (Rotterdam-Genoa) and the new transalpine railroads from the NEAT project, it is the second most important Alpine passage in Switzerland after Gotthard.

Virtual Teams

Virtual Teams ( MP3 soundtrack )

Developments in communications technologies have seen the emergence of the virtual work team. A virtual team is a group of people who work interdependently and with shared purpose across space, time, and organisation boundaries using technology to communicate and collaborate. Virtual team members can be located across a country or across the world, rarely meet face-to-face, and include members from different cultures[1]. Many virtual teams are cross-functional and emphasise solving customer problems or generating new work processes. The United States Labour Department reported that in 2001, 19 million people worked from home online or from another location, and that by the end of 2002, over 100 million people world-wide would be working outside traditional offices (Pearlson & Sounders, 2001).
