Hello from Basel!

[sojourner]

Just thought I'd say hi - am sat in a sunny leafy courtyard, having a cheeky beer during a break, and found an unsecured network - so HI! :D

Don't work too hard! :D :p

[Dubversion]

weird place, Basel.

[sojourner]

Why do you think it's weird? I love it - buildings are ace, and the suns out :D

[sleaterkinney]

I lived out there for a bit, boring as hell, great art museums though.

[PieEye]

Sounds made up.

Did you make it up Soj?

<suspicious>

Nope

It's in that Switzerland. Ace when you get off the plane, and have the choice of exiting the airyport to France/Germany, or Switzerland :cool:

[PieEye]

That also sounds made up.

<Soj's crazy brainz>

:(

Have you locked the bedroom door again?

Yeh, unfortunately I'm not gonna get the chance to go to any art museums :( but I will be going up to the Munsterchurchthingy, and having a gander out at the Rhine tomorrow morning

Remember, you don't pronounce the S

[sojourner]

Ah, well that's what I thought - I always pronounce it barl, but the German receptionist pronounced it basil :confused:

It has, if i recall the details, correctly, a train station in Germany and one in Switzerland. This little mix-up led to me jumping from a moving train and being arrested at the end of a machine gun, by a border guard who went on to laugh openly at my terror once it was all sorted out. :(

Ah...oh dear. No surprise you don't have a lasting endearing impression of the place then!:eek:

actually, when i went to Basel properly it was another time and I did like it, but it was still weird :)

Well, as it's costing me bugger all, and the suns out, and the architecture is stunning, I'd say it was less weird, more excellent :D

Anyhow, I'm away to drink more beers, quick spliff int hotel room, and then onto some gorgeous restaurant *smug* ;)

No no...

I'm in......Humptyland, enjoying creamcakes and bagels in the driven snow :)

Tis mervellous:)

Sounds cool - i quite like Switzerland. And a 'gorgeous' Swiss restaurant probably means blindingly opulent so i hope that's covered too :)

[zenie]

I thought Basel was gonna be somewhere up north :o :rolleyes: :D

Hope you're having a nice time Soj :cool:

[sleaterkinney]

Anyhow, I'm away to drink more beers, quick spliff int hotel room, and then onto some gorgeous restaurant *smug*And have lots of chocolate with *everything*. :cool:

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Bazel in German

Barl in French innit ;)

Oh yes, it was - opulent and paid for :D

Mmm...snails...and roasted monkfish...phwoarrrr!!

I discovered that copious amounts of butterscotch schnapps helps me to play pool even better than usual too - wiped the floor with me boss 4-1 *cackle*

Am now back in my windowless office, doing proper work again, bah

[Pie 1]

weird place, Basel.

IME, the rest of Switzerland seems to think that too :D
