[01:41:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, all squared away
[01:43:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> what, you mean the guys who were told the whole way that they were going to get this bonus, got given the bonus, then ten plus years later someone comes along and makes them sell their house to pay it back? no. the soldiers got fucked.
[01:44:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> if that bonus was part of their decision to enlist or not, the government is legally obligated to pay it.

[22:02:20] <boru> If I don't go to sleep soon, I'll probably do something absurd like start learning Swiss German.

[22:04:23] <boru> High German is written only, from my understanding.
[22:04:26] <boru> (In Switzerland, that is)
[22:04:42] <boru> Spoken German in Switzerland is a bit mental.

[22:06:22] <boru> Heh.
[22:06:42] <boru> I've been learning German, but Switzerland is an attactive destination (non-NATO member, like my native Ireland)
[22:07:04] <swiss> swiss german is fine
[22:07:19] <boru> It's fine if you've grown up speaking it!
[22:07:22] <swiss> also, switzerland is great if you don't go to Geneva
[22:07:31] <boru> Yeah, I was thinking Bern or Basel.
[22:07:57] <swiss> I speak french (sort of) not german :P
[22:08:04] <boru> This new immigration legislation is a bit disheartening, though.
[22:08:11] <swiss> but from what I've heard the german is the same, just different inflections
