(but swiss chocolates are the smarter way - and probably more succesful)

Rudi, I mostly use Belgian Chocolates and they work well. I assume Swiss Chocolate works as well.

Rudi Oct 21, 1998 11:37 am

1) Belgian beer (local brews) and belgian "french" fries are worldfamous

2) psssssst, I confess, one of the reason's I prefer UA to other US-carriers: they serve belgian Godiva chocolates (I hope no other Swiss is ever surfing here) - pssssssst.

3) and - starting confessing: on long-distance flights to other time-zones I wear a dual-time-watch ("Fossil" made in USA, sold by LH on flights) - now I may loose my Swisspassport ....

Catman Oct 21, 1998 1:45 pm

Belgian Godiva is very good, but if you want
action... GO SWISS CHOCOLATE (Rudi: I'm now
looking at an empty box of chocolate, about
10 more pounds on me and two cats playing with the box!!! That chocolate could melt
the coldest airline worker!)

Have not been to Belgium yet but I should
make it on my next European trip.

In my case, I guess I can offer free pictures
of my cats to get attention from the opposite
sex! CATMAN

My girlfriend lives in downtown Brussels, so she shows me where all of the good chocolate shops are. They are good! Also, I don't dare tell her, but I like the fries in the U.S. better...in Belgium, they are too plain for me. And...in Belgium they charge extra for ketchup - and I use lots and lots of ketchup.

baobab Oct 21, 1998 5:02 pm

Yes, but think of all that mayonnaise! (I can't say I ever deveolped a taste for it...)

Rudi Oct 21, 1998 5:14 pm

belgian fries and ketchup and chocolates at the grand place (don't let manneken piss - I am astonished that this word passes here uncensored) yes I know Aubie - belgian girls are very tolerant

mayonnaise and chocolates
baobab - now you deserve a real us-american-passport

AusTXHiker Oct 21, 1998 9:33 pm

Mmmmm.. Belgian chocolates! I always take several boxes of Leonida's chocolates with me every time I travel to Brussles. There's a store conveniently located at the Grand Place (but of course, they have stores all over the city).

Rudi Oct 22, 1998 1:59 am

I will do my best AusTXHiker next spring to convert you to our swiss chocolates (but we don't have such a majestic Grande Place).

hnechets Oct 22, 1998 6:42 am

Aubie: Remember, ketchup kills calories.

Put enough of it on your fries (or whatever) and you can eat all you want with impunity!



jaws43 Oct 22, 1998 7:13 am

Ketchup is pretty goood by itself, however, the best use for it is to make goooood ol' TEXAS bar-b-que sauce for the world's champion cabrito cook-off. Send the complaint letters to roberto. si?

baobab Oct 22, 1998 4:45 pm

I meant mayonnaise & frites! Rudi... (a Belgian 'specialty') Chocolate is best consumed in its pure form. One of the sad things about leaving Europe is that I don't get my regular dose of Swiss chocolate anymore (my partner lived there for 15 months)

baobab Oct 22, 1998 4:46 pm

Do you take back your remark about the US passport?? I'm about as American as Merry Flyer.

Rudi Oct 22, 1998 5:15 pm

sure baobab - I am glad I landed a "touchee" and can apologize now with some chocolates. please email me your address (as always - privacy is assured).

baobab Oct 22, 1998 6:32 pm

these swiss - they try to smooth everything out with chocolate! no wonder they cliam to be the diplomats of the world.

jaws43 Oct 22, 1998 8:32 pm

Rudi, I'll take a Rado instead of swiss chocolate. OK?

baobab Oct 22, 1998 9:14 pm

expensive tastes, jaws43... I like you.

Rudi Oct 23, 1998 3:45 am

Rado IS (whatever your president guesses about this word) a SWISS-watch (belongs to Mr Hayek's SMH as do Swatch, Omega, Blancpain, Tissot etc., is main Sponsor of the men's ATP tennis-tour and it's USP="unique selling proposition" is the non or hard-scratchable surface).

My friends say (please Mr Hayek don't sue me): "Rado is an industrial "mass"-product, not handmade at all. As all?/many? Swiss products Rado is overprized".

Again my friends say: "If you are going for the high-prized watches, for a lifetime, go for the free upgrade, go for handmade swiss-watches (if it has to be one out of Mr. Hayek's brand collection, go for Blancpain which are about in the same prize-range as Rado)".

jaws43 Oct 23, 1998 6:58 am

Well then, Rudi, you convinced me, I'm sold! Send the Blancpain instead of the Rado.

Rudi Oct 23, 1998 7:02 am

jaws43, please email your postal-address.

Rudi Oct 23, 1998 7:06 am

or, jaws43, may be you can meet me at the Interbeverage-convention starting this monday (till wednesday) in Houston TX and I will SHOW you the blancpain.

jaws43 Oct 23, 1998 7:10 am

I'll be there.

baobab Oct 23, 1998 7:17 am

He said 'show', not 'give', jaws43. Perhaps you should take some Blue Bell with you, & while he is eating it, amazed by how wonderful it is, you can make off with the watch. Swiss generosity has to end somewhere.

Rudi Oct 23, 1998 7:20 am

Catman Oct 25, 1998 4:18 pm

MEOW!!! I thought we were talking about complaint letters, not watches and Blue Bell
icecream!

I still did not get a response to my complaint letter to UA about the late mileage
statements and the missing upgrade certificates. (I did get soem fine service
from customer relations who apologized that
I did not get this, or notification that I
became PremEx again!)

But I just sent another complaint letter:
The staff on the flight (DEN-SAN) has the
most sour flight crew aboard. No smiles, no
prompt service (I ended up in coach because
all the seats in First were taken by "revenue
tickets -- guessing paid first class or UA
flight crew.) ALso when I asked for little
ice in my cup of coke... NO CUP... Had to drink it out of the can.

Maybe they were depressed their Padres lost.
BUt everyone seemed in a FOUL mood.

ON the other hand -- the First Class crew from SAN-DEN was singing (One flight attendant said he had his Coca Cola and he's ready to go at the ungodly hour of 6:30am, the other wore a happy face button) and DEN-EWR (the two were especially nice, even
more when I offered to move so this couple
can sit together.)

It's tough to be HAPPY all the time, but
as flyers in coach or First or SUperElite,
they should try to be a little cordial at
best. CATMAN
