Hello there,
anyone want to meet up at Mr. Pickwicks in Basel to watch the Scotland/France match at 16:00 on 5th Feb? Perhaps some Afrikaans/English speaking blokes?
Here the link to the pub (if you don't already know where it is)

I think he is in Zurich, but I know that they do organise get togethers regularly in Switzerland.

Yeah, the pub is not too bad, lots of foreigners, some Swiss as well. Barman is from London (I think), no expansive list of Belgium beers though, only a few brands in a fridge below the counter...
The rest of us drink Heineken or Carlsberg or some Swiss beer (for those with other taste buds!)

I heard Windhoek was much sought after

Yeah, you get all sorts of beer there, and if home is too far away, then a Windhoek does the trick! You can even find an Amstel, although you have to specify it to be SA and not the Dutch one...

Nei, chan i niet, aber verstoh scho!
So, I understand the Basler dialect and a few others, still have to answer in proper Hochdeutsch though! A few sentences and words of Schweizerdeutsch is all I can. Fluent in German though, which helps. But then both barmen are English, so it's not required to order a well-deserved beer...
