A tip I passed on to my own children with great success:
"Find something you are really passionate about and love doing - then find someone to pay you to do it!"
Easy to say, I agree ...

It depends on the whips (!)
Most Commons business is managed by the parties (Labour v Conservative/LibDem coalition) "pairing" their MPs so they can be elsewhere doing business or having lunch. On routine stuff little more than those down to speak are in the chamber.
This caused no problem before TV was introduced, since no-one could see the empty chamber! Now they tend to huddle around the person speaking (donutting!) so that the chamber appears full to the camera.
On critical debates ( a "three-line whip" since the item is underscored three times on the order paper) MPs are there on pain of death!
It is quite complex but that is the guist of it.

Landlord business
by hoser inonce you spend your property it is spent forever.
this is what the wts is doing by selling out of brooklyn.

In the UK, most owned individual households (ie not blocks of appartments) are freehold, BUT it is rare to also own the mineral rights to anything below ground level.

My wife is Russian and we have been searching Moscow news sources in Russian for references to this. Nothing.
I think it is a spoof.

" Why is it that the on-board sound and the ethernet plugs don't work? I'm thinking I might have to install my old sound card to get this to work"
You need the drivers for the motherboard for this. A google will find them .... Those things are not usually plug&pray, if tyhey are of a certain age.
