Tell ya what. You call and book a table for four. I'll check Easyjet's website for a flight to Gatwick. Then I'll hop on the train down to Brighton. I could be there by 8.

Those damn Swiss and their disposable income... something tells me the next TB UK meet should be a curry in Brighton...
I'm leaving the UK again in a couple of weeks... me and the missus are off to live in Ireland. I've scored a really good job out there (all the big technology companies like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel, etc now have their European headquarters out there), the people are a lot nicer than the British and there's actually still plenty of room to live out there. Plus, I've been offered a gig with a really good prog metal band.

...I really wish I could find a "falling down laughing" smiley, you and I being present (you) and former (I) denizens of the state requiring the use of scuba gear to walk to the corner store really understand the concept of "humidity", don't we? On a really bad day, you need scuba gear to get from the house to your car in Louisiana....
(And no, we're NOT exaggerating.)

Here in northern MS in the summer time it is miserable it's so humid.

Congrats. Great country. Great people. Great beer.
Hey cool thread, Always interesting to hear from Swiss people.
My dad is from a farm near a town called Nuvilly, I was there when i was 17 and thought it was a very beautiful country. I am a swiss citizen too and always curious as to what it's like over there.
i've entertained the thought of working/living there for a time...not sure what citizenship entails, Maybe it's about time i checked into this...

Hello Bassjamn. I'm not Swiss. I'm Canadian. I live and work here. I've been here five years and just recently got a residence permit that is not tied to my employer, meaning that I can stay if I leave my current job.
I love this country. No immediate plans to leave.

Hey Bmc, Sounds like a great plan!
I recall we had a Pm exchange you a year or two ago, about music scene down there.
Take Care.
Download Google Earth and go to Switzerland. Tilt the view and cruise through the Bernese Oberland. Stunning.
For others on this thread, if you have Google Earth, look for Kandersteg, Switzerland. It's due south of Bern. I have a gig there on Dec 27th in a 300 year old hotel. Nice family run operation.

that's funny. in mississippi, the best po boys can be bought at gas stations. my family who didn't live in the south didn't really understand the concept of getting good food at a gas station.
i have really enjoyed my trips to europe. i find the differences in lifestyle very fascinating. i enjoy the changes. i think too often people like to look at one as being objectively better than the other. i simply see them as being different and appealing differently to different people.
maybe that's because i realy like both places.

What I like about countries like France and Greece to name but two as example - is that there is a Baker's on every corner and that people get up early to buy freshly-baked bread, while it's still warm!!
This is the kind of thing that will make me move there!

In certain areas of California, the best tacos can be bought at gas stations. Redwood City is one of them.

Most Shell gas stations in Switzerland have ovens and bake fresh bread throughout the day.
gas stations here you can buy edible (just) hot dogs and the crappiest cheapest toast bread you can get

I agree. Europe and America comparisons need to be culturally relative and free of stereotypes.

A 2 beer in Dublin? Man, you'd be lucky, Dublin is one of the most expensive cities in Europe, ESPECIALLY for drink. It's very disproportionate to the rest of the country too. Spent 60 on drink there last weekend when I was up for a concert, got mildy tipsy but not enough for the amount of money I spent... it's about 5 a pint, or 6 if you're a cider man like me. Same for shots.
Shoulda come down here to Cork or Limerick bud.
