You mean to tell me that he eats all that with a knife and fork?

~riette Mon, Dec 21, 1998 (05:24) #4

The ones I've seen him eat, yes. I told ya! He eats EVERYTHING from McDonald's burgers to boiled eggs with knife and fork. Oh, and he has another peculiar habit. When he finishes stirring his coffee, he throws the little spoon over his left shoulder for luck. Can you imagine what this looks like in a restaurant, or some fancy dinner?

~PT Mon, Dec 21, 1998 (15:38) #5

Wow, I didn't even think about hamburgers. Have you ever been in a fancy restaraunt when he did that? Over here, If it's a fancy enough restaurant, they probably would not say anything.

They don't. But there is a rumour going round that his deputy rings places in advance to warn them about his eccentric habits.. I don't know if this is true, but that might explain the way restaurants just accept his behaviour. I think they find him pretty entertaining, actually. It's fun to be married to him, because he's a bit of a legend here in music circles, I've heard we've become a bit of a scandal, since I never really go to the posh social functions he has to attend. Everyone knows he's married, but they don't know who to. So on the rare occasions when I do come along, he just introduces me by my first name (which no-one gets anyway!), and we create a stir-up (in Zurich terms - blugh!), because people assume I'm a young lover or something. They also assume that his wi e is a half crazy recluse, which is why a man as social as he is, needs a lover. And we laugh our ar$es off over it afterwards!

In a good restaurant, It's considered bad taste to comment on the eccentricities of the guests, unless they directly offend another guest. Sounds like you have fun with people that like to jump to conclusions, and gossip. I do too.

In good Swiss restaurants, the staff reserve themselves the right to tell guests off for inappropriate behaviour.... And yes, it's fun when people think you scandalous without your having the hassle of really creating a scandal!

~PT Tue, Dec 22, 1998 (10:36) #9

It's even more fun to have people actually create a scandal where there is actually nothing. Then you can illustrate that it's really nothing. Funny to watch the expressions when you do that.
