Well I agree, in principle.
However, your income needs to be substantial enough in my opinion that you're not likely to go in over your financial abilities to pay it back easily enough to avoid high costs, and bad credit rating if…
I now have a firm quote for insuring a Dual Motor Long Range Tesla Model 3:
CHF1,234 per year. The GTI is CHF1,715. Exactly the same cover.
I hope the Strassenvekehrsamt will look favourably on it too...
You can also take the paper, and then go to the local Betreibung office and register your opposition.
I did that once when I received one in my name for a debt of my daughter. ;)
The creditor then requested that I remove my…
Hi, is there such a service ?
I find the SBB site to be excellent but I can't find the equivalent of an airport arrivals page.
This link give results describing when a train should arrive at each waypoint.
There is some kind of…

Question regarding Fundsmith
Won't comment on rest, but you don't need to wait for 30-Mar on account on above. The portfolio is 88% non-UK stuff. So you are not really buying into GBP, it is only a denomination currency, not the risk currency (the portfolio does…
I'm actually amazed at the number of ETH students (friends of my daughter) who are still doing their masters etc. while having already made big successes of their own start-up companies :eek:
And they don't tend to flaunt the money or…
We live in a neighboring village to schlieren, its not pretty by any means but it has really good transport connections, and right next to the Limmat for a nice walk, it has a lot of sports clubs ect. Im assuming you dont have children?…

Verein or GmbH/AG
Reviving this not too old thread. Looking for information on whether there are public schools in Basel that have a more arts and/or music or sports, etc, leaning? Or are all the schools going to be standardized with not much room for…
I would never choose to live near a dense wood/ forest, as beautiful as it is. I would hate the damp.
I much prefer the open sky, dry air.. however, that said, a friend lives beside a forest and it is much cooler in the summer…
Final update. She was invited to the physical, mental, teamwork exam, but sadly fell at the final hurdle.
Literally.
On the obstacle course, went over the last hurdle, landed badly, now has a grade II sprained ankle. So she'll pursue…
Sky, this is all so helpful - thank you! I did wonder if perhaps Nations was the right campus or if it should be Le Chat for us. iGCSE seems to be the difference, is that right?
GES sounds just like the girls’ schools here so…

VIAC thread deleted?
I can only imagine that the user who started the thread was 'hard' deleted in the fallout following the recent alleged security breach, which would have the effect of totally removing the whole thread.
One more reason I always veer away…

I only told my bosses (and family) when I was pass the 3 months deadly mark, so they could look for a substitution for my maternity leave.

KulturLegi Card
Yes. And if you're in the country: tractors, haymakers, axes, wood-chip machines, dogs, the buzz of milking-machines and of course chain-saws. They're busy working hard, seemingly all day, 7 days a week, dawn till dusk, them country…

Question for bond investors
I do not trade large denominations as I said earlier.
In CHF, you can trade electronically by 5,000.- increments.
In USD/CAD, often $1k or $2k
In EUR, this is trickier, there are seldom issues below EUR100k.
Given…

Squash ' Neuchatel
I will be moving to Neuchatel at the start of March and have enjoyed enthusiastic but low quality squash session in the past so it sounds like Zanaty and I maybe on a similar level.
Please let me know if squash is still partners are…
they made it free for home-country emitted cards, and introduced fees for foreign cards. So solved the transfewise hassle and barred those who has EUR cards from instantly topping-up in EUR, for example.

Avalanche at Crans-Montana
As far as off piste skiing is concerned, 70% of avalanches involve wind blown snow, the slope is loaded & under tension on a convex slope. This wind blown snow it's often the 'best' snow on the mountain which is the issue because people…
Resetting the odometer at exactly 122’667 (give or take 10-50m, needed a few practice runs before) was all I planned really and then I just needed to remember to stop when it approached 789.
The rest is just random really, the…
Sorry for having taken so long to reply, I didn't have access to my computer. Thanks for your detailed. This is why created my thread - to people's opinion on my estimates. I suspected that Canada was expensive, and you confirmed it.…
Now that's tricky. Let me think.

How about the status quo?
Btw leaving the Euro would have exactly zero effect on the Greece debt.
When the EZB bought the 180bln Greece debt off the private banks, half…

Hslu vs zhaw
Nothing different maybe just ethical standards are better than in HSLU, and HSLU and ZHAW are not the Swiss quality at all... Just some research methods where the students gathering data and quasi-university trying to sale their…
Hi Mark, i'd like to request changing my username please. It was by accident that in joining this group i confirmed my current name and so i'd like to alter.
What's the process for doing this?
Thanks in advance
I haven't read quite all the posts, mea culpa. It just seemed...familiar. I have a friend who wanted to return to "Europe", interviewed for a couple of companies here and decided to stay put. That was a few years ago but he's quite…
Correct. The 9-Uhr-Pass Aglo plus a 4 zone extension gives you full ZVV coverage.
The 9-Uhr-Pass Aglo is considered as a "4 Zone" ticket.
In general if your X zone ticket plus your Y zone extension sums up to X + Y = 8 you have full ZVV…
Wow, this is incredible. The situation is objectively speaking completely your fault and you allowed it to continue for about 2.5 years too long. Allowing him an entire floor is just borderline insanity. :eek:
