Pity it isnt for the same reason as I last went there. God I miss the UEFA cup. | |

What are you going for? I used to live near there. | |

Just a night out with some of the Mrs's friends who live there. Nice city I I remember correctly, though I cant say I enjoyed it that much following our hammering and not knowing what was to come the week after. | |

It's a nice city but it's the most industrial city in Switzerland. | |

Lausanne is the coolest place in Switzerland to hang out. | |

"It's a nice city but it's the most industrial city in Switzerland." Yeah, but they manage to keep the industry just outside the town so I actually think the town centres a pretty nice place to be. I love Zurich though for the best place in Switzerland, possibly the best European away game I went on. | |

We couldn't get accommodation in Basel because of a clock convention no less, so we stayed in Zürich again, which I like very much. | |

| re: Off to Basle in the morning | |
Zurich is ok, just typically too German. The chicks are too frigid. | |
| The_Lizards_Jumpers Posted on 16/11 11:20 | |
| re: Off to Basle in the morning | |
Yeah neither could we, so we ended up staying in our mates spare room. | |

In my humble opinion, it's a toss-up between Luzern and Lugano as to which is the nicest city in Switzerland. | |

| re: Off to Basle in the morning | |
Zug is very, very nice but also very, very boring. | |

I used to live in a place called Pfungen, about 7 miles from Zurich. Zurich is a class city, i lived there when the geordies played Grasshoppers in the UEFA 8 years ago, the vvankers totally trashed the city. | |

I saw a Boro lad throw a kebab wrapped on the floor and it looked bizzare on a otherwise perfectly clean street. | |

Yeah they hate litterbugs there. I would move back tomorrow given the chance. | |

Is that private car collection still open to the public, I forget the name but the guy has something like 6 of the 9 Bugatti Royales ever built? | |

| re: Off to Basle in the morning | |
I dont know if it is now, i havent been back for 3 years. | |

| re: Off to Basle in the morning | |
remember to exaggerate your best teesside accent and promounce it basil as in the fox and not barl as you should pronounce it. | |
| onthemap Posted on 16/11 14:38 | |
| re: Off to Basle in the morning | |
It's pronounced Basil or Barl in various countries. Not a Teesside thing. | |

The English in general have a poor grasp of language and I certainly did last night. | |

OTM It's pronounced Ba zel it's how the stadium announcer said it when we played there, and thats good enough for me. | |

That may have been for your benefit though. | |
