    Well, I'm in Switzerland and the company that does the maintenance of the coffee machines here at the office has a name that makes me smile (at least :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ) each time I see it. Here it goes: http://www.bj-coffee.ch/[^] Is it just me?

            Plausible. I am not much of a coffee drinker, but I am willing to take one for the team. :laugh: Soren Madsen

                    If it doesn't taste like chocolate I know I won't like it. Ok, raspberry flavour would also be nice. Cheers!

                        Hi mate, I would like to join but I'm too far. I'm from the French part, Nyon, Vaud and work in Geneva. If you ever do something down here let me know! :)

                            Rage [^] is coming from Strassburg to Zurich, so I guess your argument is kinda invalid.

                              :laugh: true but still, at least for me, a drink in a pub for the price of 6 hour train trip is too much :doh: I would really like to attend but I have a lot more to do with that time. Thanks for the invitation anyway and the promise still stands, if a meetup ever occurs down here I'll go. Cheers!

                                          In the US there's a club store that calls itself BJ's. (direct rival Costco, if that helps). Upon first entry I was quite disappointed that their sign was totally misleading . . .
