Geeklawyer spends his last day in Swissieland today. His ver­dict on the Swiss is that the cliches about them are right: they are odd. Not unpleas­ant, just odd, unpleas­antly odd. They live law abid­ing ordered lives of sub­servience to the will of the col­lec­tive. So long as one com­plies one is safe. Geeklawyer enjoyed his time here. It’s a nice place to visit but Geeklawyer wouldn’t want his brain filled here. One good point about the Swiss is that they are impres­sively effi­cient at everything.

The other triffic thing is the pretty Alps. Geeklawyer went for some stonk­ing walks that were huge fun & muchly to be rec­om­mended. Some peo­ple cycle up the Alps. That is mad, they go up at an alarm­ing rate and the air gets very thin. It’s great air but there just isn’t very much of it.

Geeklawyer’s chum Thomas Otter is one such cycling loony, and to dou­ble his pain he does this in France, which is even more alarm­ing. He does, how­ever, have a good excuse this time. He is col­lect­ing money in a good cause that Geeklawyer sup­ports: pro­vid­ing aid to the vic­tims of the depraved and evil mega­lo­ma­niac Robert Mugabe. Mugabe is starv­ing killing and muti­lat­ing ene­mies, actu­ally he is doing this to any­one who isn’t an active sup­porter, and these peo­ple all need support.

Thomas is cycling on a spon­sored fundraiser through the alps to raise money to help the char­ity. Geeklawyer would urge you to donate what you can for such a good cause: he has.
