Lausanne here we come!

Your ace reporter is currently ensconced in the first class compartment of the 1327 train from Geneva Airport to Lausanne. On time and so far, we have just arrived at Nyon, a very smooth ride.

The journey is scheduled to take 48 minuted and, perhaps not surprisingly, the railway line hugs the coast of Lake Geneva. There are alpine heights to be seen across the lake and into the distance.

On Wednesday from Geneva city I could see a snow covered mountian but today's mountains are bare.

On this showing, Switzerland is a very neat and tidy place. Even the maize plants, sunflowers and fruit trees are very tidily arranged in their fields.

More later.

What's Wrong with me?

How about this? Young Master W trolled off to Kazakhstan for a few weeks and as I got involved in booking his ticket and saving him wads of cash, I got him to use my KLM frequent flyer card details. He did!

As he checked in to come home they said, good evening Mr Williamson I see you've got a frequent flyer card with us.

Dima replied, it's not mine it's my dad's ...

They said, no matter, we're upgrading you to Business Class anyway.

WHAT?

What about me? Never happens to me!!! Even with my Gold Emirates card I've NEVER been upgraded on long haul.

Well done that lad but for goodness' sake!

Lock it Jobs!

Found this accidentally.

If I put my BlackBerry on top of my iPod, the BB immediately closes the desktop and locks the keyboard.

Not sure if anything bad happens but so far so good.

Mushrooms that Taste like ...

Last night, here in the airport district of Geneva I took a walk and ended up in a Pasta and Pizza place. I ordered and ate a mushroom pizza.

Guess what the mushrooms tasted of?

Yes, mushrooms!

Unlike most of the mushrooms I buy in the UK, these mushrooms really tasted like they should. Mushroomy!!

How about that?
