Heidi ho good neighbours.

hello all, I've been a member here for a couple of weeks now so I guess its best I get around to introducing myself ( sorta ) anyway... my name is..........well...............grynch, and I've been working in Geneva and living just outside the city for about 6 years now, along with my lovely wife. ( no kids, I'm enuf of a child myself )

I'm Canadian by birth, American by law, married to a Brit , living in Switzerland and working for a Japanese section in the UN..... hey wait!!!, I guess I "am" the U.N.

Ok, I guess thats it for now.. anything I missed?... just ask.

Re: Heidi ho good neighbours.

I'm deeply insulted by this intro. Heidi was a perfectly respectable young girl. She was in no way a woman of low moral standards and I highly object to any insunuation that she may have been. Please use more appropriate language than "Ho" on this highly reputable forum.
