Happy Milk Day!

Today is Milk Day!

What have you got planned?










I really need to get off the Swissmilk site!

Cheese eating increased +0.8% in 2010!



Swiss people ate an average of 21.55kg of cheese in 2010.

WOW!

All this really means is that Swiss people now spend 0.8% more time in the gym trying to lose all this extra weight (170g)!

In addition to showing it live last Saturday, SF repeated the Mister Schweiz "contest" twice during the week.

I missed all 3 opportunities to see it.






Thank fuck.

Mike Shiva is a liar?


You take that back crazy aunt of Mike's!!!

Next thing we know you'll be claiming that he cannot see into your future using cards and an expensive phone line!

Dirty Swiss



On a train this week I picked up the latest issue of Via, the SBB free magazine.

The editor claims it would take 2,350 African elephants to clean up the 9,420 tons of rubbish left on Swiss trains annually.

Shocking figures!

I'm pretty sure a lot of those "elefants" are slacking off!!!

Pigs

So someone in work told me last week that there are more pigs than people in Canton St. Gallen.

I can believe this statistic.

Can't believe it came up in polite conversation though!!!

Swiss crossword


2 words.

First one begins with S and ends with -izer and the second word is Demokr_ten.

The clue reads "minor Swiss party which distributes hate material."

Whatever could the answer be???

Got Bach?

So Heerbrugg in St Gallen plays classical music to keep young people away.

Surprised it has taken them this long to cotton on this trick.

The Swiss churches have been very effective at using this weapon against young people for many years!

Swiss quality


So Gaddafi had a Swiss bunker just like all of us in our houses. Bet the Tunisian and Egyptian leaders wish they had placed their trust in Swiss quality as provided by the Luwa firm 30 years ago - they might still be around if so.

Wonder if Gaddafi has to write in his wash days too?

Oscar night!


Exciting times as we wait to hear the winners at the Academy Awards.

Everyone is talking about the movie Black Swan.

Especially this guy in the Migros Magazin who also handily gives away the ending for those of us who will never see it.

Thanks for the spoiler gimp!

(Not that I was ever actually going to go see this film you understand, it's the principle of the thing)!

Go SWISS!


Who has the best looking flight attendants?
Not SWISS - and they're proud of it!


Jean-Claude Donzel told 20 Minuten that "Appearance is not the most important attribute (of SWISS cabin crew)."

Thanks for your honesty Jean-Claude. Any chance things might improve?

"Unlike other airlines we don't have a maximum age limit."

So that's a no then...

Welcome aboard SWISS flight LX38 to San Francisco...

Stop the madness!

Unsafe cranes in Zurich airport!

"The lift, an Omme, is clearly well equipped with stowage points for the outrigger mats and even a set of cones, just sad that the user has not bothered with them."

Why hasn't this story received more prominence in the Swiss media???

Good interview!

Interesting article on Donna Summer in Blick am Abend last week.

She talks about the destructive influence of drugs in the 1970s and her own drug use.

Later in the article she says that people in Zurich are very friendly and helpful.

Let this be a lesson to you kids - drug use can seriously impair your brain function - even decades later!!!

Generating hardcore traffic - through sex perverts looking for Swiss porn!

As the administrator of this blog I can look at statistics about how many people read this blog.

And I've noticed a pattern.

The more porn style words that are in a post, the more perverts from China to the USA log on here. (There seems to be a huge appetite for "Swiss Porn" whatever that is exactly!)

So just for all you wankers with your trousers down, check out the keywords that encouraged you to visit this site.

Readers of a nervous disposition should click away now.

I will return to this topic in the summer and let you know how well my theory worked!

Remember this guy?


It's "Goat Peter" from the Heidi film.

Stefan Arpagaus who played him was on Aeschbacher tonight.

I somehow don't think he's still dining out for free on this one anymore.



Now present-day Clara on the other hand...like Paul McCartney I think I could overlook her disability!

100 Francs



To the first reader to send me a picture of a Reformhaus employee who actually looks healthy....

I'm not worried in the slightest about losing any money!
