Ok a thread where you can approve/disapprove products that are sold in Swiss shops that you had the pleasure/displeasure of using. I start (use this type of format) -
HIT-
- After few weeks of using Sony Ericsson W890i mobile phone. Me like
Slim light and to the point.
MISS-
- Budget roll on deo from Migros. So after spending CHF 7 on known brand deos I thought of trying the Migros budget one as it was CHF2 and had some K-Tipp recommendation sticker on it. I though might as well give it a try for gym use. The thing is utter shyte as the ball does not roll properly! You need to have sand paper underarms for the ball to roll! I ended up making a hole in the plastic bottle to get to the liquid
HIT or MISS?
- The Fern plants sold in Migros for CHF14 are they any good? Would they survive inside the house? I hear fern is a ***** to grow
Made a hole in the darn bottle?! That somehow made me cackle with amusement.
HIT - PH Balance deo stick. Does not irritate, and works OK.
MISS - Aldi's insect-whacking racquet: not as easy as using the cheapo traditional fly-swatter which waits for a fly to land on something. You need to hit the fly mid-air -- difficult to judge the route of a syrup-drunk fly. Besides, can't hit one's own knee with an electrical charge. Sparky knees, anyone?
Hit - my trusty Cybertool Swiss army knife (the one with the LED lamp). If you're an IT guy who handles more than just a mouse and keyboard this thing totally kicks ass. I'm a networking nerd working in a datacenter and use this baby all the time.
Miss - Hosting services from topwebhost dot ch . *THE* most customer unfriendly service I've ever had. Their employees must be über-frustrated sadists carrying a lustful vengeance against society and clearly revel in verbally abusing their clients. Needless to say I won't extend my contract with them. die! die! die! topwebhost dot ch die!
Hit - Philadelphia yoghort 13% - for those looking for an alternative to butter, absolutely yummy
Miss - Sony Ericsson t650i, looks really cool until you let it drop on the tiles, then the black stuff starts creaping up the screen until you can no longer read the time...
So what is your current hit/miss rate with the fly-swatter, Mrs Argus?
Note that I am only casually asking. You need not create a new "fly-swatting accountability" thread with a list of your monthly goals, a full profile of your arm-swinging ability and a photograph of yourself with a Mickey Mouse head.
HIT: Zurich Seebads.... the waters fine right now.... jump in!
HIT: GA Card for travelling to from work.... great value, and the value of not ever having to buy a ticket or carry change is really priceless. Just make sure you make the most of it by using it as often as possible to freely explore other parts of this wonderful country like i don't.
HIT: Yoojis sushi: me like the cali rolls, sashimi, edamame.
MISS: i must be feeling unusually positive today, i cannot think of anything right now that grinds my gears. The swiss reality distortion field has me in its inexorable grip.
