My partner was incarcerated some time ago in a prison in French-speaking Switzerland. We want to maintain our relationship despite our imprisonment and would like to know if it is possible to have slightly more private, even intimate, visits. Does this exist? B. Yes, sensual visits are possible in prison, but they are subject to...
I don't have the time to manage my administrative affairs, especially not the desire at the moment. I'd still like to enjoy the last few beautiful days instead of the paperwork. To this end, I've given a power of attorney to an acquaintance so that she can look after my bank accounts and other dealings with certain authorities. To...
My family has a chalet in the Alps, but it's old and apparently very expensive to renovate. I'd like to demolish it, rebuild it and use the opportunity to extend it a little, but a neighbour has told me that if I demolish it, I won't be able to do what I want to do because of the...
I have a 20-franc TPG card that can be debited from terminals at stops or on buses. The other day, I got on at a stop that didn't have a terminal, and there weren't any on the bus either. It took me 15 stops to get a ticket! The driver...

She said she had told him about it as an accident...
"I'm a member of a student association that glorifies the mullet: only people with this legendary mane can join. We hold conferences and hair evenings. However, the university has just withdrawn our official label, deeming the exclusion of non-mulets to be discriminatory! We're walking on thin ice, aren't we? Your association can certainly continue...
I went away on a trip for a few months and on my return I was surprised to receive a "notice of seizure" from the debt collection office. They explained that proceedings had been brought against me and that a summons to pay had been served on the friend who was looking after my flat and feeding...
I've been looking for a house to buy at a reasonable price for a long time, and I was lucky enough to be offered a preview of a flat in a development zone in Geneva. I was just about to sign a reservation agreement when my application was rejected on the sole grounds that I live in the canton of Vaud,...
I enjoy strolling through the streets of Geneva, which have recently been plastered with countless posters for the forthcoming 'municipal' elections. I suppose it's too late to stand, but I might be interested in doing so in future elections. A friend told me that you can be elected even if you're a foreigner...
