Did they?
It is also illegal to flush the toilet at night so the place stinks in the morning.
Nah, lots of nazi gold is still in Swiss banks apparently and the ODESSA used Switzerland as a conduit in 1945 for all the bad germans.0 -

Irony is the cornerstone of humour. The German attacking japanese was a line from "Animal House" when John Belushi got all patriotic. I like to drop the quote into polite debate/chatting/conversation when I can. It made me laugh when I first heard it and just want to share.
Anyway, everyone knows it was the French who attacked Pearl Harbour, they belive me over in the conspiracies thread.

I had visions of them thinking Pearl Harbour sounded like a nice beach and dropping towels all over it at about 4am."There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, t'would be a pity to damage yours."0 -

Were we supposed to know you were quoting from "Animal House" rather than being ignorant ? Pardon me for missing that irony.Smarter than the average bear.0 -

Well I think it's great here!!
twice the salary,
half the tax (10% flat rate where I live),
house rent unchanged for the 6 years I've lived here
great roads,
80p/litre fuel costs
great public transport,
alpine passes on your doorstep,
skiing in winter,
mountain biking or road riding in summer
As someone who moved to CH from working on the Fylde coast, you can keep your job in Blackpool! There it did seem like it rained every day, it was cold, windy and the Ribble estuary was a rather uninspiring view out of the office window
Seriously, find another job in CH. Contrary to all the urban myths...you can pee standing up and flush the loo after 10pm without getting arrested, you can wash your car on a Sunday if you know which jet-wash places are open, you can use your washing machine on a Sunday and naked hiking isn't legal, it's just that one Kanton voted for a specific law banning it after a spate of 'incidents'.
Admittedly, it's not all perfect. Bike shops are (very) expensive, especially labour. But when the national minimum wage is somewhere about £26,000 a year, even for stacking shelves at a supermarket, then that has to be paid for somehow. In the end, you just buy everything online from the UK! The neighbours also complain about long turbo sessions in the winter
but then again they moan about everything, but that's because they're pensioners with nothing better to moan about! 0 -
There`s nothing wrong with the Ribble estuary, people come from miles around to watch the birds, and that`s just in the daytime.Smarter than the average bear.0

Nah, the irony joke was that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour not the Germans, which is pretty obvious. Sorry for confusing you.
nest time you go to the toilet, PM me and I'll also explain how to wipe your bottom properly as well. 0 -
I think you are confusing irony with stupidity but if you want to wipe my tush you are more than welcome.Smarter than the average bear.0

Well I just looked up Switzerland on Wiki and apparently 60% of the population earn less than $1.25 a day, it reaches over 40 degrees in summer and has some volatile neighbours such as Mozambique which make it a bit dangerous. It also said that the west of the country can have 2m of rainfall in summer :shock: 0
