      I commuted for two years by car 180° around the M25. Apparently the Basel-Zürich commute is similar...

          I wonder where that is, in London you are lucky if you can get one in less than two weeks. Last time I tried they said 1 month. I had to do an online assessment and tell them my pain was 10 out of 10, anything less than 10 and they would tell you wait a month.

          Anyone here played The Division 1 or 2, or watch The Last Ship?

            And the naturally better weather conditions in summer discourages the spread of rhinoviruses, which will further reduce the speed of spread.

                      I love it when they ask you if you have private medical to speed things up... sure, I'll pay if they allow me to do so before tax.
