It seems my time in Switzerland has come to an end. My better half's jobs has come to an end and we have decided to take the plunge and head over to the USA to be nearer to her family.(And for me to put my plan of reclaiming the colonies into action).

We have set a date of Sept for the move

I look forward to the mass clearout that lays ahead..

I have had a great time in Switzerland and will miss it greatly. Thanks to everyone on this forum that have helped me over the last two years. I hope your stay in Switzerland will go from strength to strength. (Except those that have mocked Mr Jippy)

Now to scour the forums and get some hints and tips to leaving Switzerland. If I find anything new I will post on here.

Good luck!

Thats what sucks about Switzerland. Most people use it as a temporary stay

Ok, bye.

Yup. You know you'se gonna get a load of grief if you even think about asking a question that has been answered before, even if tangentially...

PS: what you selling?

Will miss you too...

When we arrived we were hoping to stay for a number of years. We had another 4years on our B permits and would most likely have stayed beyond that but things change unfortunately.

Good luck with the move, but hope we can finally meet for a cold one before hand and discuss our mutual friend Sherlock!

We all know that you will leave Switzerland, but NEVER the EF !!!

Now that you will move to a new country I'll look forward to the occassional drunk and angry posts like 'Nil'

There will be a fair amount.

50" Panasonic Plasma TV
42" Panasonic PLasma TV
2 Xbox Slims plus games
Aircon Unit
Sky HD setup
Mahogany Dining table and four chairs
Microwave, Canon printer, George Forman Grill, Bedroom clothes cabinets, lawnmower, hedgetrimmer, Dyson hoover, Carpet cleaner hoover...etc etc.

I'll list it all closer to the move.

And both my cars.

Yes, it's so hard when friends leave. It's just like a bereavement.
I now find myself asking new arrivals how long they think they'll be staying.
I don't respect myself for this because what I'm really thinking is 'if this person is only staying a couple of years, then maybe I shouldn't let myself get too fond of them, because I'll be so sad when they leave'.
I know I should value even short-term friends and I do, I do, but I never get used to the pain when people I love move on.
Me, I'm never going to leave, except in a box, and that's getting closer and closer.

bummer we need all the petrol heads we can get on here

so how much for the 50" plasma then lol

I was just thinking about you the other day. Please no jokes!!

You will head to Florida?

is there something like the englshforum in the US???? LULZ....

Yep. That seems to be the plan.



Well of course I will have to research it. Wouldn't want to get ripped to pieces if I ask for too much

That is a must

Sometimes life takes weird and unexpected turns, but at the end it's all good

Wish you and your half the best with the move!

Hey man! Very best of luck with everything to you both.

Shame to *see* ya go but like @BillHardie said, we all know you ain't leaving the EF and look forward to your informed posts from over there.

Am baggsying the 42 incher from now!

I'll start adding a "dibs" list for the items for when they go on sale

Aw man. Et tu ?
Although we have not met or have not had much interaction besides some banter here on the EF, I am sure I'm not the only one who is going to miss having you around.
Wish you the best for your move.
I hope we will hear from you even after you are in the land of the free.

PS: Looking forward to the sale and on having dibs on the 50 inch plasma.

That was my first drunk post eva!!! Be kind to me....

Good luck Kev with the move! Won't be easy but at least you have few months to get ready!

Nil (not drunk anymore)

Say it isn't so???
