BERNE, Switzerland (Reuters) - The Swiss government has agreed to ease restrictions on the importation of potatoes following fears that Euro 2008 football fans could face a shortage of French fries next month.

A spokesman for the country’s department of agriculture told national radio on Wednesday that the government would allow an additional 5,000 tonnes of potatoes to be brought in.

How funny is that. On Friday I had to go my local Barclays branch to make some payments … but it turned out I couldn’t. The bank was out of electricity. The staff just left when I came and they shrugged their shoulder, said sorry and locked the door. Here’s the hand-written note on the door

I returned four hours later — though the branch was still closed

Ich moechte nicht zuviel ueber das Wetter hier berichten, jedoch geniesse UK seit einigen Tagen eine echte   Hitzewelle .. der letzte Regen ist “lange” her! BBC’s Prognose fuer die naechste Woche sieht ebenfalls sehr gut aus

Exactly in one month I’ll be in Arizona.

The girl in my office has been accepted to the workshop Programming Languages and Analysis for Security and I’ll join her for fun and profit :). It’s only a one day workshop .. so we will be flying down on the 6 June and already return on the 9 June. Basically a weekend in Arizona. Still, I hope I get the time to take some nice pictures and put them up here.

The good thing about going to a 3rd world country is that it’s really cheap to buy stuff (clothes, electronics) .. so anyone who wants ipods or something else, just tell me heh.

Letztes Weekend war es sehr sonnig .. einen kurzen Abstecher in den Green Park hat sich gelohnt. Hunderte von sonnenhungrigen Leuten verbrachten ihren Nachmittag auf dem Rasen.

I think they were promoting the Sci-Fi-London, the international sci-fi festival taking place this weekend in London.

So, Oxfam is basically a charity organisation helping people in need. Their poster shown on the pic is communicating some message, I just don’t know which (without reading the text in the left corner). My god, I don’t even want to start writing down what I associate with this picture. Disgusting pic.

Btw this picture was taken in Seven Dials in Covent Garden .. a very nice place for shopping!
