Ask them if they are willing to send it to you first and then you pay The concept is you pay the delivery company and if the product is well received, then the company send the money to the seller. Regarding the website and non click-able buttons, yes this seems weird but I'm no expert. Also, whois says that the website has been registered on 01/02/2016. I'm not sure I got proper knowledge to interpret this information but I'm not confident. Last but not least, I found the item on a Swiss website, while the seller claim he just went back in Scotland where he comes from and as such the item (a pinball) can't be seen anymore in Switzerland. Still, seller has been able to send me additional pictures as requested but doesn't answer all of my questions. Delivery will be in France btw. Thanks for the help! | ||

I read it on a pinterest link so probably there is no real data to back up that claim. You never want to wear a short sleeve dress shirt unless your an IT guy or a teacher. Just roll up your sleeves when the function calls for it or if you're warm. Function over form bromigo | ||

There are psychological errors people make correlating appearance, especially dress and deportment, with expertise. If you dress up, people might consider you have more authority or knowledge about something, and if you dress down, people see you as a relatable idiot. I'm willing to buy that rolled-up sleeves look better. Seems a little like arm padding, whereas a short-sleeved dress shirt, it's just like the rest of the shirt is missing. | ||

Background: Possibility of a job in something I love. 22 hours plane from home. I snap due to distance and give it up. Feel lonely, crying, thinking that life at home wastes away without me being there. The question is: do you think I would be ok in doing the same stuff but 2-3 (at maximum 4) hours plane? This would mean being able to return whenever I feel like, even for a weekend (money not an issue if I get the job) and it makes me feel ok just by thinking about it | ||

I'm a high school teacher and I literally wore a three-piece suit to work yesterday. Because I can. | ||

Go for it! Especially seeing that you have your family company to fall back on. In practice you won't be returning over weekends very often though. It's easy to plan or say, but onve you have to carry out the logistics of it, you will be put off from it very quickly I think. | ||

Yeah maybe you are right, but you know what I mean with the psychological effect! The fact that 'I could if I want' is a big turn on for me Thanks guys! | ||

Not having to deal with the time difference to new zealand is also a big deal. From Europe you can actually skype with your friends in the evening if you want. From new zealand it's a mess to find a skype timeslot with someone that is working if you are both doing things in the weekends. (I live in Australia but have friends and family in Sweden). Also, people can visit you much easier. It is an incredible effort to visit someone in NZ from EU. | ||
