Moving Boxes
You blackmail them first - you get together with the rest of the EU and you say that you will forcibly stop all aid to the country , prevent ANY remittances to that country and stop all imports into the EU unless they play ball. Very very…
Yeah, but they want you to enter on the left lane = then get to the inner lane, even though you need to change to the right one after about 5 meters to be able to leave for Sihltalstrasse. They write it on the ground so big you can't…
After living in Switzerland for 2.5 years, here are my top 5 places:
1. Top of Europe- Junfrau region. This is quite an expensive journey (half-pass or GA will cut the costs in half), but well worth it on a clear day.

"LRH, David Miscavige and me"
That's true, although Scientology doesn't have a country to govern, yet. Calling for the death penalty would surely put them on the wrong side of the law and risk their compulsory disbandment. Their "fair game" policy does sanction…

Swiss work permit
Only assets & liabilities acquired during the marriage are split, so in most cases the financial cost is not that large. Any assets brought into the marriage or inheritances don't come into the equation.

Europa Park Advice
I was just at Europa Park a few weeks ago and they had plenty of storage for bags while on the rides. The roller coasters we went on also had a set of cubbies dedicated to each roller coaster "train". These dedicated cubbies would…
The Matterhorn is a definite must see. My wife and I stayed in Zermatt this past winter for some skiing and taking of beautiful pictures. Even upgraded to the "Matterhorn view" room, and let me tell you, I have never woken up to such a…
After the next bundle purchase, the data coverage and speed seems to be back to normal.
Interesting that the operator they seem to be piggybacking on is now Salt, maybe they switched to them from Swisscom?
People (not me, of course) still do something similar. Palm towards the ground, pumping up and down a couple times, means slow the F down, probably because there’s a speed camera coming. Seen that a fair few times here.

Schaffhausen - man with chain saw
I keep my firearms separate from the ammunition and carry both in one rucksack with separate compartments.
The magazines and chamber are empty.

A Swiss Wedding
Sure. If the bride and groom wish so, there can be 5'000 guests for all anyone cares. However, often it's because of this:
So it's not what the two people that should decide want, but instead about what others want based on some really…

Towbar installation in Germany
Ordered mine at Amazon.de and picked up in a paketshop in Germany (150 euro inc. shipping).
Installed it myself in a Skoda Octavia 2012. It is not so difficult but takes quite a lot (4-5h) since you have to find out how to diasemble the…

Hello Everyone
Yup, and I'm fed-up with you people taking massively taking our jobs, with this spelling, and getting away with it.

Help identify this book
Given the short summary my first thought was also Rushdie.
Saladin and Gibrils fall from the sky in the Satanic Verses for example. He also has space themes and even references to Star Trek in East, West. Maybe it is a Rushdie novel…
More like Mies van der Rohe and is FarnsNotWorth House or the Crown Not Hall.
Also Le Corbusier, one of his first designs, the Pas de Maison Dom-Ino, has litarally no walls, whereas the very last building the Heidi Weber Nicht-ein-Haus…

Opinions on Privera
I recently left my last apartment which they had taken over the management from another company a few years ago. I found them (Solothurn office) to be readily available whenever I called or emailed. They weren't over administrative-y and…

Accident at work
Totally irrelevant to the OP who had an accident at work, which would never be covered by health insurance even with non work accident cover included in health insurance.
The kew words were ACCIDENT AT WORK.
No worries. She's onto it. She's a tv documentary producer, and some of her closest work contacts are the Rip Off Britain team. I think the email from her work account accelerated how fast they were paid out in full. ;)
If they fix up the new place properly that is to your advantage. And maybe the found out there is a lot more to fix than expected when the other party moved out.

Ikea - Life long returns
Well all I can say to Samaire 13 is something I learned along the circuitous journey that got me this far. And that is never assume anything about anyone till you know something! I was definitely not thinking of "digging out that Expedit…
Of course not. SPX or some other diverse enough basket of stocks. Thankfully these days you can own one for an ultra low cost, starting from just 3-4bp, don't really have to pick stocks anymore if it's not your thing. Even the greatest…

That Mrs Brown's Boys was commissioned for three series, not to mentioned the specials, is reason enough to cancel the license fee. Once a production line of fantastic comedy only to be replaced by this and Mirander

Cow eye eggs?
Thanks! German is not such a problem so much as finding the Swiss expressions. I mostly need these, presented earlier in the story, to be the "coded" message that proves which of two wills is valid and which is forged. A very…
