Geneva
it's pretty and all, in a chocolaty swiss watch kind of way. but I got stuck there once when my easyjet flight was running it's usual 4 hours late. I went walking around on Friday night over most of the town looking for some action, and it was dead as disco. i ended up in an empty bar talking to the bartender about lebanon for hours. A friday night for fuck's sake. Geneva is rubbish

Geneva is great fun...
...as long as your idea of a good time is browsing through a million square metres of €10,000 watches, penknives, designer scarves and Middle Eastern banks, and if you like going to bed at 21:30 every night. My Swiss mate (from Lausanne, which is a lot more alive) and I tried to go out for a beer on a public holiday once and spent two hours trudging around in the freezing cold looking for a pub that was actually open, and failed to find one.

Think that's Switzerland in general
I was in a bar in Geneva on a Wednesday I think. I was having a pint. Of the two other people in there one was drinking coffee. The barman said it's because the Swiss save their partying for the weekend.

Then he brought me some cheese.

Geneva is dreadful
I've been lots on business. Once I was put up in a hotel on the Rue de Berne, which forms the heart of a totally incongrous and very un-Swiss red light district. When I got there I saw a sign behind reception with prices of rooms by the hour. I didn't get a wink of sleep as roar after drunken roar from orgasmic, overweight German businessmen dumping their load inside dead-eyed, trafficed Latvian teenagers kept me awake all night.

I went with Mrs. S as well once, en route in the car to Italy. It pissed it down all day and we were charged approximately six hundred pounds for a plate of lumpy, grey fish in the only restaurant that was open - on a Wednesday lunchtime.

Awful city.

the Chinese karoake rip off restaurant ...
ended up stuck in Geneva a few weeks back, we got there late on a Sunday tired and hungry. The only place open was a Chinese restaurant next to our hotel. We had no other choice but to go in... then the karoake started, in Chinese... then the sake came out... we ended up trashed and £150 poorer, and there was only 3 of us... Not sure how it happened either... watch out for that in Geneva... plus, it was shit.

Geneva is a fucking toilet- the nadir of a thoroughly dislikable country.
