As a Brighton and Grasshoppers fan (my local team out in Switzerland) I'd be much happier if we were trying to sign Shkelzen Gashi. He's top scorer in the Swiss league this season with 15 goals and counting and is an attacking mid fielder.

This fella was really looking for trouble during a match in Switzerland this season: A MARTEN ATTACKS AND BITES FOOTBALL PLAYER LORIS BENITO!! - ANIMAL ATACA A JUGADOR - YouTube

...and to support England! They might not be popular at the moment, but I am pleased that some real fans are still prepared to go no matter who the opposition is.

I was at the game last night. I nearly didn't go for similar reasons to what were posted on here (timing of the game so close to start of season, not a sell out, almost a reserve team being put out). But I'm very pleased I went, especially as I was stuck amongst a load of Italy fans who were...

The tax system is somewhat complicated here, but quite fair once you work it out. Generally you pay much less tax than in UK, but it depends which Canton (state) you live in. The country's made up of 26 states, and each has it's own tax system!!!! So if you live in Zug, you pay very little...

I live in Switzerland and here's what I've found on the beer front. If you want a normal Swiss beer, you will get a 3dl (half pint) of very nice lager for about 5 CHF (£3.50). If you go to any one of the "English/Irish" pubs here and order a pint, you will pay upwards of 8 CHF, depending on...

Like I say, I'm living abroad so I only get the snippets that I read on the BBC and other UK websites. I'm really pleased if there's positive coverage comoing out (as one would expect). It's just filtering out over here so much, which is why I raised the question as to what it was really like...

Watership Down when I was about 5 scared the cr*p out of me. Damn freaky rabbits!

I moved abroad a couple of years ago but have very much continued following the Albion and England football team. The British media with their obsesive desire to publish negativity in order to sell a few stories about our sports teams has angered me for as long as I can remember. In fact, the...

I couldn't see any clips linked on any of the posts yet (I might well have missed them). Does anyone have any clips of the goals etc from yesterday that they can post on here?

Yea, that sounds about right. It's not a good time to be a tourist over here right now (but the country's still an awsome place to visit if you bring a packed lunch!!). I wasn't being serious about the trains earlier. In fact, they run so well that a year ago a train was 40 minutes late and...

Shame, the trains here are working fine for a change!

Can't say I've heard of it, but if he wants to sell it cheaper than the local stuff, I think I could find a small expat community who'd be pretty keen to give it a go ;)

Thanks Bozza! The name's a little out of date now, I agree!
