Still Young After All These Years
In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
Harry Lime (Orson Welles) - The Third Man
The other thing that came out of Switzerland was fabled industrial rockers “The Young Gods“. While more middle aged than young these days, the Gods are back on tour celebrating their 20th year together. They have a new retrospective/greatest hits album, XXY, and are playing at small venues around Europe, including a gig at the Barfly in Camden on Friday 25th November.
I’ll be there - anyone else up for a nostalgic night out?
I might be persuaded…

I would also like to point out that the Swiss invented Toblerone. Why these are so abundant at airports is anyones guess, though I like to think that they could be used as ‘chocs’ (hoho) for planes in an emergency.
