After 3 Years living with my girlfriend, her brother and his girlfriend, they finally moved out. And as the Landlord was pretty much an a%&ç!?#ole, we decided to move out as well.

But its our own fault. 10 years ago, Swissair was one of the most renowned and prestigious Airlines in the World. And of course the Management knew that.
