Dear Mr Piece

Master Piece Lyoner

Dear Mr Piece,

even though your sausage doesn’t taste bad, I think you really could do without monosodium glutamate as flavor enhancer (and some added colorants) as well as the silly blank in the name (“Meister Stück” = “Master Piece” instead of “Meisterstück” = “masterpiece”).

A hard choice and an error

2008-09-10

Before we start with the photos, two web finds from my Montreux trip:

train schedule bookmark

Translation:

Note:
Dear customer, [male and female]
Thank you!
Your team of www.bahn.de
Code:
All information without guarantee

Note to self: There’s no use bookmarking the train schedule information that can be reached from the travel information/booking site because they produce this informative error message (with page title “error”) later on.

choose your internet access

Translation:

Please make your choice:
24h unlimited access to entertainment and internet: 0 CHF
24h internet access: 0 CHF
1h internet access: 0 CHF

A hard choice for picking the internet access options in a Swiss hotel (with intenet included in the room price)… should anyone really prefer the third and default option?

Sep 2008


By the way, the hotel – the Eden Palace – also offered dozens of movies and music albums for free, accessible via the TV that was extensively equipped for such hotel use (and even greeted me by name1 when I first entered my room) – however, it was a relatively small CRT model, no flat screen.

From a flyer (front side) with several discount vouchers (not even pre-cut, you have to cut them yourselves) for the relatively new local Subway sandwich restaurant, distributed to local mailboxes on 26/27 July 2008. (There’s no date given on the vouchers themselves.)
