Hi, y´all, I was three months depending on internet café, which is just another word for oriental basar these days, so I couldn´t post.
I want to rejoin you now with a little video I have recorded about a year ago yet have never published before today.
It´s quite a funny little video with a sort of candid camera thing, that doesn´t show the passengers, nor could they be identified in any way, yet it´s all recorded what we talk during these 9 minutes and the camera shows the left side scenery whilst driving.
The spoken language is (mostly Swiss)-German, yet it´s all subtitled in English!

I did mention it, didn´t I, the similarity between Scotland/England and Germany/German part of Switzerland? It´s amazing the parallels, the same conflict between big and little brother, the same foolish pride when it comes to being this and not that, the same differences dialect-wise. Only the war between England and the Scots was once in the past, whereas between G. and S. it is happening right now - they just keep it discreet yet, not much blood so far.

Did I not hear you say you will have to go into one of those shops and see what you can get Toots for a present :oops:

I´m not sure weather you meant me, Skippy, or Bloodnock, yet if you refer to that "A cabby qualifies when having a lot of fellatio with patients?"-bit - well, the Langstrasse is one of the two main red-light-district miles in Zurich and the conversation we had whilst driving through was accordingly.
Anyway, the Brit business folks prefer the clubs like Aphrodisia in the downtown area. (I took a lady there once, a blonde big-busted Russian babe, and had a nice chat with her, picked her up right from the bus coming from her home country.)

Well, then, Toots, I suggest you watch that video, where you can see passing three or more shops, in any one of them a lady with taste might see some items she´d possibly lack or desire, leather items, magazines, funny plastic things, devices that could be useful in any likely situation a lady might get into, if not to say might get herself into, masks, rubbery thingies, the list is endless.
So, thus inspired you might specify a certain wish, go ahead and publish it here - and I will hurry to get you one, gift-wrapped, for sure.

Gift wrapped! Normally it is items like this that come in plain brown paper.

Or at least that's what I have been told. :oops:

I doubt it there's not a lot that surprises me. I may not know what to do with it but I'm sure I'd be able to work it out :lol:

Makes it inevitable to ask that question probably every newbie on the forum is nagging - that pic of you real, Toots? For in that case I deliver the present in person (current position deep down in the south of Germany) and give you whatever help there is needed! :wink:

Anytime, Toots, yet this goes for anybody here, just contact me.
I am currently living in Freiburg, so called capital of the Black-Forest, just at the foot of the nicest part!
Just yesterday I did a bike-tour on top of the Kandel, some 1250 meters and its not far away from the Feldberg, the highest peak of Baden-Württemberg.
The French border too is just 40 k´s away, I´m very much intending to go just across the Rhine next year and drive a cab in Colmar. (About which I will surely do some more posts in the future anyway.)

Huh!
When you visit me it's wobbly coffee - for this chap though, ordinary coffee is OK - make him get you a wobbly one, Toots not squared.
