Not the land registry.
Personally, Noth & South Korea.0 -
I said North Korea, but really, it is a pointless news item. They have been talking about going to war for decades. If either side makes an action, what will it get them? It will get them dead.
Snow hitting england is more relevant to peoples lives.
Paparazzi Pic of Generali Exiting a Fashionable Sydney Pub is never likely to happen, 'cos you're banned from every pub in Sydney , after that 'Ashes Victory' shoker last year.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

If by 'exiting' you mean 'thrown out' then you get my drift.0 -
Definitely the escalating Korean thing, then the possibility of a load of snow coming to the UK, then the ashes. The LR monthly data is relatively insignificant to the average person. The value of the pound can drop or gain more than 0.8% a day and barely register on the news pages.0

German DIY enthusiast walls himself into cellar
A DIY enthusiast in Gumperda, eastern Germany, walled himself into his own cellar, but managed to drill his way out - through a neighbour's wall.
The unnamed pensioner, 64, went into the cellar with bricks and mortar, as well as food and drink, and ended up being trapped there all weekend.
It is unclear why he wanted to block up the entrance.
"He was on the wrong side of the wall when his work was finished," local police said in a statement.
That is a much better, feel good story. However bad you've messed up your life... well, at least you are not as thick as that guy.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”
