Weird tiled flat to rent

This London pad covered in 'swimming pool' tiles could be yours for £900 a month
Blue tiles. They're almost everywhere in this north London flat that's been compared to an empty swimming pool.
The one-bedroom celebration of ceramics, located a short walk from Walthamstow train station, is listed for rent on property website SpareRoom for £900 a month.
It has an open-plan living room with kitchen, double bedroom and separate toilet.
Most of floors and walls are clad in the grey-blue tiles, presumably appealing to clean freaks, or perhaps those who'd like their home to double as an operating theatre.

 Party people may also be attracted to the apartment, which could easily be hosed down after a night of revelling. A few well-placed rugs and tapestries probably wouldn't hurt though.
"It's certainly not something you see every day," said Matt Hutchinson, director of SpareRoom.
"This wipe-clean Walthamstow pad might appeal to someone who doesn't like dust, but it could be tricky to shake the feeling you're living in a swimming pool."
There is, apparently, some refuge: although not demonstrated in the ad's photos, the letting agent says the bedroom is separate and tile-free.

 The apartment is available to rent "now" and doesn't require any committments regarding the duration of the lease. Letting agent Century 21 is unlikely to have much trouble finding a taker.
High demand for rental properties in London has sent prices skyrocketing to all-time highs.
The average room rent for London is currently £747 a month, while in Walthamstow it's £607 per month - but that's just for a room in a share flat or house.
So getting this whole place to yourself for £900 a month would seem quite reasonable - especially for tile lovers.

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name As the capital of the United States, Washington DC is not  one of the 50 states. It’s a “federal district,” hence “District of Columbia,” shortened to “D.C.” But that could soon change, as they are currently bidding for statehood . If that happened, Washington DC would become the 51st state, and its leaders would give it an entirely new name. That name could quite likely be “New Columbia,” an old name that was approved by voters in a 1982 referendum in which Washington DC tried for statehood. It originates from Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who is obviously a critical part of U.S. history. Washington, D.C. could have been renamed "Anacostia," but advocates for statehood chose "New Columbia." 󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦… Posted by International B...

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair?

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair? [Photo: Pexels] How often do you wash your hair? Once a day, every other day or as little as once a week? However often you might think your hair needs a good rinse, it’s probably not as much as you would expect.  We’ve all heard that whipping out the shampoo too often can make hair oily over time - but, of course, grease can also build up when locks aren’t washed regularly enough.  Most experts agree that we don’t need to be over zealous when it comes to washing our locks. So, what’s the right routine? “All hair is different but a general rule is not to over wash,” explains Lorraine Rose, founder of D&L Hair Products. “We tend to wash our hair for two reasons: Grease and smell. However, when hair is ‘never washed’ the smell does vanish after a period of time and the natural oils in the hair and scalp self-clean the hair.” And it’s a tried and tested theory. In 2012, blogger Lucy Aitke...

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote their new movie, The Nice Guys . In what was clearly a planned bit, Ryan claimed that his agent told him that Russell refused to do the movie unless Ryan would do it with him. Russell acted surprised by this information and then said he didn’t really need Ryan for the movie or the interview. The next few minutes of Gosling storming out — repeatedly — will go down as one of the most epic exits of all time! Gosling started by saying bye to everyone while tearing a piece of paper on Colbert’s desk, throwing a pen on the ground, grabbing a book off the shelf and placing it on the ground, and then finally exiting out the door. The former Sexiest Man Alive then walked behind the set and out another exit before reappearing with the band as he banged on a cowbell. Ryan continued “leaving” until Colbert handed a T-shirt gun to C...
