He, Kim, was educated in Switzerland apparently and according to the papers here he is perceived as a weak character. What would worry me about that is the people behind him who maybe channelling their agenda. Im with oldnick on this one....

The rental market is key to the success of this, as its the other half of the coin. Most of the country rents. The rental market is very controlled protecting both the landlord and tenant. Most rentals are managed through rental management companies like LIVIT (http://www.livit.ch/). They...

Actually our wealth tax works out in the thousands rather than hundreds and the wealth tax is at both federal and kanton level (we are submitting the taxes this week so Ill double check the actual percentage but roughly we pay about 22 % tax of which 4% is wealth). As Jim2007 said somewhere...

I have a swiss mortgage (joint mortgage with husband) whats interesting about this was that we went to buy a house for 700k and asked for a mortgage. We had a deposit for this. However the bank valued the house at 620k based on an equation they use; type of house, no. of rooms, area, amenities...

Yes, all 5 children will jointly be left the property. No other debts or assets. Yes, and of course a lot can change in 20 years, or we could be in this scenario a lot sooner. Its a lovely home and I think we always felt we would always keep it, 2 of my siblings are in careers that, while...

Hi Guys, Scenario: Elderly parent (of 5 grown up children) living alone in family home. Parent will not sell or downgrade. Parent is eligible for deferral as is living only on widow pension. This means I believe from reading this link...

I would have thought that the target market of the campaign is new smokers, especially young teenagers, who are very impressionable and that type of image would have an impact on. No. Not sure what your point is here. Most of the healthcare community I would know in Ireland (and Switzerland...

I agree - but that is what really gets to me about prank callers. They often know little or nothing of the victim, maybe this lady was suffering from depression, or was going through a divorce, or financial issues or was homesick and this was the final straw. Who knows, at any one time we are...

Hi, After reading the manuals (RTFM), does anyone have any links or recommendations for reading material for getting the best out of your apple gadgets - specifically if you have more than one of the iMac/iPad/iPhone group and how to use them to their best together? thx cas

Why do we assume she did not? I do agree with your point regarding planning - and I think most women (and especially working mums) do. You are making a mistake though that many make, including myself until I came face to face with it, which is deciding to breastfeed and when to stop...

Some of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series - especially the early ones - are very good. Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman made me laugh out loud. But the one Id really recommend is calvin and hobbes, you can buy omnibus's on amazon and honestly I sometimes have to put it down...

I still dont understand your issue though - I knew you werent belittling the theft - I just dont get why it being from a church is significant to you. Would it make a difference if it were from a museum? I suppose where Im lost is the use of the word "foul" and in your first post you referred...

Im not really sure what your issue is? You will also find body parts and perserved pieces in museums and labs. As well of being of religious interest (in this case) these pieces are usually of anthropolical and historical interest. The world over body parts are perserved and have been for...

guys, Thank you so much for your responses. Its been so helpful and thanks so much for that online calculator I will definitely sit down with her and use it to make sure she is sorted and paying the right tax. Yes he was a public servant (dept of marine) and was on an occupational pension...

Hi, My father died in October 2011. My mum received a letter this morning from the revenue commisioners saying that tax was incorrectly deducted from his social protection pension (formerly social welfare pension) and that it would be adjusted and the amount owing deducted in 2012. The thing...

Hi guys, My father sadly passed away recently. His will was simple and quite clear, home and all savings to go to mum. This is the thing - while mum knows they had savings she doesnt know where they are. Other than the local current account she has no idea where the other savings are...
