thanks for the heads up Viceroy.

I'll be avoiding Kleinbasel this weekend like the plague this weekend then, unless it's stupid o'clock.

Proper_Gander! I was worried you were one of them crazies that drove with a yellow former postal service Fiat Panda through Pakistan! Glad to see it wasn't you! I haven't decided if I go, but I have a friend over who loves tattoos so I might end up going to the parade. Why avoiding it, what it so bad about it?

close enough. went north to Central Asia from Iran though. Pakistan was never on the agenda and as the place was underwater at the time not feasible anyway!

what happened to the copycats then?

the best feature of Basel is the Rhine, the Tattoo ruins it with bagpipes and old people.

Ah well, I guess I'll go and help some of the older Semesters cross the road. Love the bagpipes myself.

My boss at 2RGJ played the bagpipes. He was a mahoosive body building Welsh chap from Merthyr. Day in, day out, he played the fucking things. Can't stand them!
