Since when is Chicken Tikka Masala our national dish?

If you were going to sell your house tomorrow, what would influence your decision the most?

Assume that the difference in money offered isn't that wide, and it comes down to personality.

Who would you want living in your house right now?

• Married couple?
• Same religion or beliefs ?
• Ties to the area?
• Type of work (Banker? Social worker?)
• Same cultural background?
• Has physical skills?
• Asks a lot of questions about the house?
• Wears formal attire?

I need ideas guys, I've got my first house viewing tomorrow and I'm pretty low on the ideal candidate ladder.

2008 Peugeot 107 (aka Toyota Aygo/Citreon C1). Around 70.5k miles.

I need to replace the wheel trims because they're peeling a bit but otherwise seems to be in decent condition. I bought a vaccuum, tread depth gauge, some gloves, leather cleaner, cloths, and antifreeze tester.

Anyone have any tips on how best to maintain it/take care of it?

Cheers :)

Buchanan was in a heavy metal band called Marseille which formed in 1976: they were part of the new wave of British heavy metal scene, releasing four albums and six singles, touring America and performing with Judas Priest, Nazareth and Whitesnake. The band reformed in 2009 with a performance at The Cavern Club, Liverpool.

So for reasons previously touched upon, Tuvalu is going to disappear in the next century. Because it's required as per protocol, they want to transfer themselves into the informational world as a substitute for what they need to keep all the perks of sovereignty (that moment when we get both such a nation and a Muslim pope before we get GTA 6). This, of course, doesn't come without its own challenges, such as exploitation by bad actors. So I was thinking... what if, in this state of existence, they were federated, mastodon-style? Would this win in the win-win department?

They brought them out front and center at my local supermarket, and either they are selling like hotcakes that are constantly being replenished.... or literally no one is buying.

Just spotted a cheeky little reference to Last of the Summer Wine in Atomfall, which you'll recognise if, like me, you're old as fuck.

Hated that show as a kid. My grandparents loved it though. Maybe I'll find it peak comedy now that I'm approaching their demographic.

The weather is dare I say it, sunny. What's everyone's plans?

That brief 7-10 day period that comes round twice a year, where the butter is neither concrete nor liquid, but just right.

Investigating this further, I looked at events that were occurring in 1899 in Portugal and noted the following births:

• 6 February - Jaime Gonçalves, footballer (deceased)
• 25 February - António Pinho, footballer (deceased)
• 21 April - José Ramos, footballer (deceased)
• 30 April - Fernando António, footballer (deceased)
• 10 May - Artur Paredes, guitar player (died 1980)
• 21 August - António Leite, fencer (died 1958)
• 26 August - Francisco Vieira, footballer (deceased)
• 24 October - João Francisco Maia, footballer (deceased)
• 8 November - Manuel António Vassalo e Silva, Governor-General of Portuguese India (died 1985)
• 19 December - Fernando Santos Costa, army officer (died 1982)
• 30 December - José Pimenta, footballer (deceased)
• Armando Machado, fadista, guitarist, "viola" player (died 1974)
• Jesus Muñoz Crespo, footballer (died 1979)
• Sarmento Rodrigues, naval officer, colonist, professor (died 1979)

Coincidence? I think not. I reckon Queen Victoria new exactly how shot our chances would be in any subsequent World Cups against Portugal, and sought to minimize the damage.
