Thanks, GG.

I've always wondered what those guys were doing up our peaks, and we're doing our external decoration later this year - just the ticket? :lol:

:lol: Did you catch the guys "flossing" in the crevice between two little rocky peaks?

Seems to be Switzerland's day for (ahem) exposure on Twitter - get a load of this!

We get quite a few nude bikers up here, but don't you think it must be a bit uncomfortable? I mean, you could get into real trouble with a racing saddle....:lol:

Hello!!!
I'm here, with burning ears!!!!

Yes, my dad's Turkish and my mum was Swiss! As a child, the Eurovision Song Contest and Miss World were always a must-see in my family, and very hotly contested amongst us! :lol:

I did see this thread earlier, and I was going to comment about that dreadful video - how pedestrian was that?!!! Only the Swiss could make such a potentially-funny joke so boring! But then again, they were all Swiss-German so that explains a lot....
(and before anyone accuses me of being not very PC let me tell you that it is a sort of national pastime for the "Suisse-Romandes" to scoff at the "Schwitzer-deutsches" and vice-versa :wink: :)

Off to see what's being said on Twitter...

No doubt MG will breathe a sigh of relief that the Swiss have come to their senses. The nationalist Swiss People's Party has advised the cantonal parliament it is preparing legislation against "this shameless behavior."*
