[Rosie] You may not know that you have to pay an annual tax in order to be allowed to drive on motorways in Switzerland at all, even if you are only passing through the country. Also, it's very hard to get in and out of Switzerland without using a stretch of motorway. Cunning, eh!

[Phil] Yeah - the payment covers January to December rather than a rolling 12-month period from the date of purchase, so if you buy it in October you've been done out of two-thirds of the benefits already, and the sticker they give you to show you've paid the highway robbery tax doesn't peel off either. Hmmph.

(Phil, pen) What a horrible little place, and in so many other ways as well.

Oh, I quite liked it...once I learnt to love efficiency.

[SM] Speeding cheese???

[Pen] The holes are crafted to give extra downforce.

[penelope] You didn't follow the link ImNotJohn posted?

[SM] I know the story, was just trying to paint a different picture. I think English cheeses are faster. At least one English cheese can travel at the speed of sound; Macheddar.

(pen) But only Brie-fly. Now look what you've started.

Maybe I'll sit and watch with a pint of Wensleyd-ale!

[penelope] Gouda you top that!?

I'm a sympathetic listener - camembert your soul to me.

Well, if one can't unburden on a rock like you, Rosie, what's a roquefort?

You can Comté me out.

Come, come, Softers. You could be a little friendleerdammer than that.

Oh Software's all right, providing you approach him caerphilly.

Yes but pen -- manchegoes on a bit.
