Comptoir Suisse

Posted on September 20, 2016 By admin

We all went to the Comptoir Suisse on Sunday.

Depuis 2014, le Comptoir Suisse se positionne clairement vis-à-vis des familles romandes, à qui il offre 10 jours de festivité, d’animations et de bonnes affaires. De la ferme des animaux, en passant par la grande roue, les animations sportives ou les nombreux stands de nourriture et de friandises, le Comptoir se réinstalle comme l’événement familial du mois de septembre.

Bean loved it. I had a moment with a Cockatoo, a foal and a calf. We saw the Goth Bunnies. Bean crawled into a tank and got adopted a heard of inflatable cows. All in all, it was a good way to spend a rainy day.

Kingfisher rescue squad

Posted on September 4, 2016 By admin

 Bean and a couple of boys from the building found a kingfisher with a broken wing. We bundled it up in a box and took it to the local bird rescue shelter. Hope it makes it. It has a beautiful plumage.

Lunch today was at a café that’s been operating since the 1940’s, just 5 minutes from the office. I’ll need to take Katy there, cause the meat is dang good!

Fireworks, with music

I was taking pictures of the fireworks yesterday when I actually managed to completely fill up the memory card. Having a motor-driven camera will do that when you’re not paying attention. When the camera died, I started filming on my phone. After a bit of post-processing, I’m not dissatisfied with the end prpduct :)

Suisse national day

Posted on August 1, 2016August 2, 2016 By admin

Watching the fireworks from a paddleboat steamer on the lake, fantabulous. Almost getting blown up by an amateur firework on the dock, scary as fuck. 

There were tons of random people letting off fireworks along the lake. As I was walking towards the metro, one of them misfired and headed towards the crowd. It exploded about 2 metres in front of me and turned a potted palm tree into an impromptu bonfire. Seriously, not cool.

Best way to start your day

Posted on July 9, 2016July 9, 2016 By admin

A new bistro, Café Fellatio, will offer men a deal where they can have a coffee and oral sex.

The unique offer will be available at the café, which is due to open in Geneva at the end of the year. Patrons will be able to order a coffee and then select a lady using an iPad, said Facegirl, the firm that plans to set up the café. It said it was copying similar popular cafés in Thailand.

Bradley Chavet, from Facegirl, told Swiss newspaper Le Matin that men will be able to order a drink and then make themselves comfortable at the café’s bar.

He added: “In five or ten minutes, it’s all over.” The full service will make the coffee one of the most expensive in the city – and probably Europe – at 60chf. There will also be an additional five franc surplus for the drink.

Quote of the day

The Patrician was a pragmatist. He never tried to fix things that worked. Things that didn't work, however, got broken.
