I am fairly content with Naked insurance. Took me 5 minutes to sign up and pick an option that suited me.

This is the best pizza recipe I have found: https://www.gordonramsay.com/gr/recipes/mozzarella-and-rosemary-pizza/

That was because the constitution was amended to government the power to pick winners and losers. Switzerland. The federal government in Switzerland is so insignificant that they barely bother with security for the president...

I want to discover an exo-planet.
