RAFTING CANCELLED - Please read

just spoke with the tour operator, who very kindly called to tell me that there is bugger all water on the Lutschine ...

nice & honest of them, but water is knee deep at best & bobbing gently along will not get the adrenaline flowing.

still up for doing something tomorrow with you lovely people, so anyone have any good ideas ... go-karting perhaps ?

Go-Karting sounds fun, where would it be though?

ha ha ha ... nice to see the IT stazi are actually doing something for there money, as well as surfing porn on the non DMZ'd machine.

Sulgen has an 8*** postcode, so suspect it is near Switzerlands second city ?

Looks like it is about 60 clicks north east of Zurich, same distant from St Gallen.

Like the bender quote incidentally.

Go-karting's not for me, sorry.
I've used my 9 lives up in previous karting escapades

not too sure Mrs Polorise would agree with you there, but I at least appreciate the sentiment ...

I'll second that. Was really up for it but if there's no water I guess we can't do anything about it.
