The Rapperswil Christmas market is on this weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday until late into the evening. I'll be there with my cheese and to enjoy at the time, Whisky rarebits, Hot Toddies and mince pies.

On the Saturday I will be deserting the stall early to head over to the Rappi Bier Factory for a session and hope some cheese shooters will be able to join me. Steves new beer Harvest Hop is something not to be missed. I'll also be serving some cheese plates with bread and pickled onions to keep the alcohol at bay.

Hope to see some of you there (it's being advertised "elsewhere" so should be a busy evening)

We expect to see gift-wrapped chunks of tasty cheese alternated with delicious chocolates in a lattice gift box with a large compartment just big enough for a cute 37.5cl bottle of fine wine. Here Mr Cheeseman, get it sorted ! High margin cutesy gifty packs of Christmas delicacies courtesy of our very own cheeky-chappie-cheeseman !

Here is a picture of one I prepared earlier (its a quiet day in the office as you can see)

Now there's an idea. Why didn't I think of that?

I have plenty of ideas: just keep me half-cut and they will all come flooding out - some good, some complete bollox. I have no interest in your line of business, so I have no qualms in sharing them with you

As you have the graphic design skills, I expect the cheesy delights to be cut and presented in my little 0s and Xs gift box, each square containing a cheese or chocolate.

Closely following by Cheesy Top Trumps card, or Cheesy Trivial Pursuits, or cheesy Christmas Crackers containing cheeseclub-nuggets-of cheese with a small bit of trivia about the cheese on the joke paper contained therein.

- Mike's Cheesy Chutney Carnival Pack
- The Crunch 'n' Cheese Combi
- Cheesy Liquorice Delights: a cube of cheese wrapped up in a liquorice lace (I just made that up, so it will probably taste awful )
- Cheeseclub cheesewall
- Cheesy Advent calendars

We want more illiteration ! More bad English Puns ! More English wit purloined and appropriated to entertain the Swiss punters !

Mosaics that show a cunning resemblance to Roman tiling, except the contrast is picked out with different shades of cheese. That is a killer product:
- Value added luxury segment
- Premium packaging
- perception of value
- aesthetically pleasing
- tastes good.
- uses your existing raw products
- huge markups for the swiss punters that are as price-elastic as a whore's drawers.

I will now retire to my skunkworks studio.
cheers
