Wynona Ryder and Heather Graham!

As long as Wynona doesn't want to talk, I think she's probably a nutcase. Jennifer Aniston could be in there too. Meg Ryan (before her joker surgery).

(I'd always have time for Penelope and Salma, but didn't call dibbs fast enough.)

Christina Aguilera if I felt like slumming a bit, if you know what I mean.

ANd. . . Cheetarah and Wonder women. . . they just mumbling about how nobody take them seriously, becouse it´s too hard not laugh at the idea of somebody coming in our rescue almost naked. . .(maybe it´s becouse i´m tired)

KLM canceled my flight to Zurich on Sunday and sent me to Paris to take another flight to Zurich. Air France had a representative waiting to escort 12 of us to the gate (we had to pass through 2 check points in 40 minutes), but they needed to have an escort for our bags!

HG,

I''m envious. Switzerland is incredibly beautiful and I haven't been in eons. As many times as I have gone skiing, I have never made it to the Swiss Alps. I took a scenic train from northern Italy to Switzerland once and it was amazing. Some of those bridges and mountain passes are spectacular.

Have fun,

I thought switzerland was just too perfect, everything neat and orderly, every tree looked like it had been groomed.

And in Geneva anyway things seemed to shut down after 6 PM. I haven't been there for a while though, so maybe it's more interesting now.

Too boring for me. It made Toronto seem exciting, and that's not easy to do.

But I love swiss chocolates hint hint.

Geneva used to have one of the highest rates of heroin use in Europe. Then they decriminalised it and started treating it as a medical matter, rather than a criminal one. Consequently, the numbers of addicts plummeted- as did associated illegal activities. A sensible approach to drug abuse would do Colombia a few favours no doubt, ie: If cocaine were legalised worldwide etc. etc.

But that's all been said a thousand times before. Back to something lighthearted-

Pod, things still shut down at 6 pm and early on Saturday. Stores are closed on Sundays as well (except at the train station and airport in Zurich). It is a rather quiet and orderly life. But the hotel overlooks Lake Zurich. On a clear day you can see the alps in the far distance.

We're going to tour around this weekend. This is my 3rd visit here and I haven't ventured outside of Zurich and the office area (outside of Zurich) and I have 2 team members who've never been to Switzerland before. So we'll visit Lucerne this weekend and possibly some towns in the other direction.

Pod, you prefer Swiss chocolates to Belgian chocolates? I prefer Belgian myself. No problem, you'll get a delivery of chocolates, Gabo...what about you?

Julia Dreyfus, I'm with you on that one kalder, she'd be very fun, although she's one of those women who looks great sometimes, and other times not at all. I think Uma Thurman is like that as well. But more often lately she's not looking too good. (I don't know Monica belluci, but better check her out one day)

I agree with you about Julia Dreyfus and Uma Thurman re the ebb and flow of their aesthetic appeal. A lot of people are like that.

Mind you, I was watching that anodyne guff 'The New Adventures of Old Christine' (in Colombia) and I thought Dreyfus didn't scrub up half so bad for a 47 year old.

Surprisingly enough, there isn't much chicken on the menus here. Lots of meat and seafood though. But neither of them are complainers so that's good.

Mona - you would appreciate that we had the hottest looking tram driver. We are kicking ourselves for not getting a photo of him. He had the most amazing smile and dimples. We had to at least tell him we thought he was cute before we left the tram. I think we embarrassed him! I hope you like the low-rise thong.

Please don't let me discourage you 2 from exploring this topic in more depth, and of course, pm me with photo samples, and I will be happy to give objective feedback to which styles look the best.

you guys are too funny.....i am sure if you ask us more questions about lingerie, we probably would answer them......

hey mona....we took a boat ride to the largest falls in europe today (rheinfalls near the german border....and inadvertently crossed into germany and I did not have my passport...the guard let us thru because americans do not need a visa to enter....the swiss were also OK about it) and once again we got a cute guy! this time my colleagues took a photo of him when he wasn`t looking. he did not smile much, but was just ez on the eyes! a couple of italian women were braver and just posed with him! we had no idea switzerland had so many cute guys!

Hey HG you guys are having alot of fun! Umm would you consider hiring me? I need a change of direction, I can sell anything at all for double the price if that's any good? ;-)

Well my thoughts are it's even better when they don't smile! Unless he has dimples of course.
Come on learn a lesson from the italiana's and take a pic with them!

I once went right up to Victor Manuel at a concert and tried to kiss him on the cheek but because of all the girls rushing him, the kiss landed on his neck...omg he smelled good!
That was very unlike me but what the heck.

OK Mona...for you, this weekend we will be like the Italians and let loose. I give the Italian women credit, they did get the boat driver to smile.

This morning we noticed the guard in the parking lot is cute. I think you would like him because he's in some kind of uniform with a hat....almost like an officer of some sort. In the afternoons, they take off their coats if it's warm. We aren't sure what they're guarding. There's always someone standing in the parking lot every morning. Sometimes it's a woman, most of the times it's a guy. Always in uniform.

I think we're having fun because I have an all-female team. It definitely wouldn't be the same if we had a guy with us (although we do have some fun guys that we work with). You can be our honorary member! Hmmm....maybe I should put my name down for that audit we're doing in the UK next year. Do you know where Staines is?

Believe me Mona, there are some days I could use a good laugh! We have some really boring people that makes spending 3 weeks with them quite painful!

So what is it about a soldier's uniform Mona? I was thinking it was that they're neat, fitted, etc.? We saw a bunch of Swiss soldiers on the train to Luzern this weekend. I think some were coming home. You would've been happy seeing them.

Not sure HG but I especially like the colombian soldiers.

We had a fire drill at work the other day and the bomberos came, even though they looked quite handsome and the fact they could throw you over their shoulder and save your life does make them a attractive, for some reason police and bombero uniform don't even come close to the soldier's one. I wonder what that says about me... so which to you prefer: soldier, bombero, policia? btw I think the american cops look cute.

so tell me...what's that "lei" you're wearing? i ask because the traditional hawaiian wedding lei for men is a maile lei (a much darker leaf than yours) with a strand of a flower lei such as jasmine (pikake) or an orange flower (ilima) intertwined. interesting to see leis in places other than hawaii.

Not exactly conducive to wandering around and shopping for clothes. I prefer clothes shopping by myself because I think I am a pain in the butt shopper!

Because I have large thighs and calves, jeans can just be difficult to buy. But every now and then I am successful!

Ladies, I don't think that a woman has to be skinny in order to be beautiful. In fact, my last serious girlfriend was a voluptuous Mexican girl that was incredibly sexy. Sadly, I had to break up with her because she loved to fight. The last straw was when she yelled at me for a half an hour for wearing some shoes she didn't like, despite the fact that we were just going to Chilis(a decidedly informal chain restaurant).

BTW HG, I don't know if you noticed, but on the walk from the pizza place to the festival, you walked ahead of us for a while and we were all checking you out.

Yep. You walked out to the corner by the pizza place. We all kind of hung back and scoped you out something fierce. The general consensus was that you are hot number.


As far as you not noticing... It's called being smooth. Ha Ha.

But seriously, when I first met my wife, she says that she thought I was very gentlemanly and that I wasn't very attracted to her. Now she knows the truth. I was scoping her out like a hawk. I studied every curve and every little part of her sexy body. She never noticed a thing. Kinda like you. Ha Ha Ha!

What the hell, Ive never been inclined towards retail and im no IT expert. I just thought it would be a really cool experience. To be fair, I would not work in retail for any other company in the world, I just happen to be a bit of an apple dork and I wanted to be one of the first to buy the iphone in the uk *tear*. If it doesnt happen then cool, chances are I did not have enough time for it, especially now with my internship. But not getting a job is really depressing... regardless of the type of job.

Are British boy's schools as brutal as Roger Waters paints them?

I admit we got our share of paddlings from our coaches, but they were pretty restrained. I remember when we got busted doing something, they would give us a choice like running laps every morning for a month or taking 5 pops. You pretty much had to take the pops, because the razzing from your friends for being a wuss was worse than running laps.

But HG, you have to think how smart they look- the turn-ups breaking matter-of-factly over a pair of sensible shoes.

HG- yes, my post was a little opaque wasn't it? Upon re-reading it I realise it's really not worth translating- just some crap about cords.

GL....too funny about putting your Mrs. on the city bus tour!

And yes pod, what goes on in BsAs doesn't even make it in a PBH post right? But we need to at least have one group photo though!

Kalder, I'm glad you didn't understand it either. I thought it was just so deep that I missed the point.

Nope, in our department it's, "What happens on the road stays on the road." I also had to use that one in Amsterdam.

IMAGINARY OR REAL???

What happened to Christobeldawg y la_Mona?
Christo bel Dawg announced just a few days after La_Mona...
both, that they would be 'gone from PBH for a few weeks'.... hummmmh.
I don't think anyone needs to read back...
there was some spark of extremely flirtatous attraction there....
so... wondering....
ARE U 2 HAVING A GOOD TIME?

Christo- made claims to 'traveling to Colombia'....
while La_Mona proclaimed...
"she would be gone for a few weeks".....
what to make of all of that?

jejjjejjajajja....
yeah, I think they both will laugh along,
when they read this, too....
unlike some of you
2 SERIOUS SOULS.

get a life; learn to laugh.... jejjajja

'Short' in a woman is cute and sexy. 'Tall' is striking and sexy. It all evens out.

I prefer my ladies to be shorter then 5'5. But then again Im a short guy myself (5'9). For many reasons (Sexual and non-sexual) the height difference is important to me. :)

I'm with kalder, height in women is not very important.
