If it’s truly intelligent surely it will realise playing noughts and crosses is a waste of time

Duude. They did that in the Film War Games like 36 years ago.
Pastel de Nata’s.
They are SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD. 
And I love that UK supermarkets now do them and I no longer have to wait for trips to Portugal or find a random bakery in London doing proper ones. Traditional egg custards are just not in the same league.

But bakery ones are WAY better than the ones from Waitrose 
Never been into the egg custard.
I’ve never been into a Waitrose
I thought you’d be just the type; in the same way Giles off Gogglebox is?
I have actually been in one before. Mind you, I’d love to not have to worry about a basket of items costing about a ton! Lidl all the way mate (and lots of inefficient trips to Coop!).
CO-OP?! You must be minted 
Local butcher. Spend some cash or lose them!

Life., beer, shit food, coffee, alcohol in general, being a lazy (not sports mind) fucker. getting away from her indoors and the rescue zoo for a night or two yayy.
The night before a best mate’s 50th… gagging for when Sarah Hughes Ruby Red will be on tap yum yum.
Swimming breastroke with a pullboy, arms only, faster than most with arms and legs (ego issues?)
Feeling good when I look at other 55 year olds and think “you fat unfit bastard” … even tho I may go (of a heart attack) first!
Music.
Good eggs.
That’ll do, now where’s that chocolate stout …

How are you finding life in CH?
I always found it clean, efficient & geographically beautiful; but rather anodyne in most other respects. I much preferred Bavaria.
That sums it up nicely. Even the Swiss need to get out of Switzerland on a frequent basis, just to remind themselves that there is a world with character outside… however, they love to come back home. Worryingly, I think that my relationship with Switzerland is developing that way. If / when I leave, I will really miss the mountains
It takes a long time to become friends with Swiss people, however, once you get to know them, you do realize that they do actually have a sense of humor and are very friendly
Same in most places I think, especially if there’s a language difference; which is why expats tend to be drawn together. There were other foreign liaison staff where I was, so there was that instant ‘connection’. The Italians were actually a lot of fun; but really pedantic about food & coffee…which I exploited whenever possible 
That’s a blast from the past. Not drunk any 49er is ages. Will have to seek it out next time I’m down in Hants
Wetherspoons 2 quid a pint!! Decent beer as well
