This lead me to two suppositions :
- you have a room in that hotel and you are in mission
- you work in the hotel.

You use a laptop at work, and you chat during your time of work. So you need a computer for your work. Your name suggest that you are here for a certain time or that you are here for a certain duty. Perhaps you are here for control or to give councils or advices. Perhaps hernia refere to failure and that you are here to repair them.
I dont know where these (probabily false deductions) will lead me ...

T.I is an american CIA undercover agent that manage to convince his bosses that most evil-doers plan their evilness over drinks in the bars of very expensive european hotels. I thought everybody knew that.

I don't know. The strong tan and wild hair in T.I.'s picture on the "<a href="http://homepage.mac.com/aicommunity/PhotoAlbum.html" target="_blank">AI Community</a>" page make him look older. Putting the age together with his former London location, I assumed he was a retired Brit, living it up in Zermatt. I haven't figured out where the German language skills fit in, except for communicating with part of the local Swiss population and Guests at the hotel.

Could T.I. simply be a bartender, who works winters in London and summers in Zermatt? The German would come from previous employment in Germany (forgot where it was). That would explain his room above the bar.

BTW: I operate too, on legal documents.

So, T.I., what's the story (morning glory)?

Unfortunately, I won't be back in Switzerland until December. And even then, I'll be skiing in Davos, not Zermatt. So we'll have to rely on Anders to visit with T.I. and confirm/refute his identity. Unless T.I. wants to visit in Davos, and bring his G2 to document the trip. What about that, T.I.?

On second thought, T.I. hikes too much to be a (presumably) nocturnal bartender. Maybe he's a writer. But I still think the retired Brit theory is the best (assuming the photo is authentic).

How come T.I., powerdoc and Anders are all moderators? I was under the impression that Belle, robo and Amorph moderated all fora. :confused:

One of the three of you should probably move this mysterious thread to GD.

Uhh, So close yet so far away...

Fran hacked the boards with his Newt and gave us mod status and made sure we stayed that way. The only way the admins can remove our status is by kicking us out. But Fran obtained too much ...ummm...classified stuff from the server for them to dare do that But soon we will have our revenge and I will keep you updated.


About T.I. whereabouts: I looked deeper into his case and its actually more interesting than him just being a CIA agent. Not many people know this but the american go[AUTO-REMOVED BY ECHELON]ack icecream trucks by midday.

I am quite willing to buy Anders a drink, providing he turns up with a tennis racket under his arm. BUT HE MUST RING ME FIRST.

The picture is authentic, and when I am at the bar it's on the side where you have to pay for the drinks.

Retired? Nope.

Well i mean if you belong to the staff of the Hotel you certainly won't pay. However i don't think you work in these hotels. I rather say that the table 10 is one of your favorite place in the hotel, it's better to be here, rather than to be alone in your room.

But you give me an interesting information : you are the invisible man

Sometime.

Table 10, Room 3, what's the difference?

Anyway, 11th August, cowfight in Saas Fee, in the next valley. Be there, or be square.

Not if you stay at the Jugendherberge. I always thought that Zermatt was full of old money, and the new money went to Davos. The variety of slopes in Davos is certainly tough to beat.

[quote]<strong>Retired? Nope.</strong><hr></blockquote>

I'm glad I correctly assumed that the photo of you was authentic. I love your Selbstportrait with the hiking boots!

T.I.: You are very mobile, regardless of whether you're retired or not. You obviously enjoy the pleasures of Swiss outdoor life (e.g. climbing and cowfights). Could the requirement that Anders bring a tennis racket be an allusion to your profession? What about the requirement that he ring you first? Just to make sure you're there? Or a hidden reference to your occupation? Could you simply be a tourist guide, who likes to hang out at table 10 on the slow days?

Faszinierend und mysterioes!

Never been to Davos though.

Allusion to my profession? No, it's just cool to walk down the Bahnhofstrasse with a tennis racket under your arm and a Bratwurst in your hand

Ring first? To make sure I am out, I mean in . . .

Tourist guide? Nope.

Anyway, here's a nice picture, though not mine



powerdoc, please let me know what you think of your colleague, Dr. Graveline

I haven't raed "Basket Case" yet, but I know some.

suonen is bisses in english and french : The bisses are ancient irrigation channels cut across the mountainside by our ancestors. Ramblers can follow the watercourse and enjoy the coolness of its banks. Paths along the bisses are level, and make easy walks for families, but they are much appreciated by practised walkers as well.

Where is my beer ?




And for your job, i think it's related with tourism in the swiss alp, i do not know from who you work for, perhaps for the minister of swiss tourism to promote it in UK.
