If you are terribly, terribly, unwise, then it is possible to lose all of your lodgings, the Handsome Townhouse included. I really wouldn't recommend it.

Here are some of the toughest challenges, only listing if the challenge level is at least 300 (i.e. requires stat at 500 for 100%), though lower challenges exist which will not be 100% straightforward even for end-game players with max gear:
General:
Watchful:
Shadowy:
Persuasive:

Well, maybe not the time of day, but I believe that it does refer to "time passing in Flute Street" or something similar.
Edit: I just went and looked and in fact it is very much to do with the time of day, the first set of options are "Early in the day" (Time Passing in Flute Street up to 6) and then comes "Late in the Day" (Time Passing in Flute Street 7+), and finally "The End of the Day" where you get the final choice and items.
You had me thinking I was going mad for a minute there, Dov.

This is a great guide for maxing ToL:
http://community.failbettergames.com/topic21014-christmas-in-the-neath-a-guide.aspx
It is best to examine the pail through a monocle, then dip a soul twice, then examine again through a monocle. This will get you to eight, and then you can use a Dreadful Surmise or wait for Mr Sacks.

Poet Laureate requires persuasive 290 I believe. Shadowy and Dangerous do not have an equivalent though.

This may be an odd question. Are there any storylets or events which require an obscenely high stat check? For example, I know that ultimately getting Courier's Footprint/Scholar of the Correspondence 21 requires a very high Watchful check. Are there any other comparable checks for the other stats in the same vein? Is there anything that requires a very high Persuasive, Dangerous, and/or Shadowy stat?
By "obscenely high" I take it to mean that a well-equipped end-game player will still fail a stat roll with some regularity (20%+), or may need to save a Mood in order to pass a stat requirement.
Poet-Laureate in the Court works like Courier's Footprint for Persuasive, including the increasing stat requirements.
There's an objectively obscene Persuasive check on a card in the Nadir. There are a few other checks that by comparison are merely somewhat scandalous. Off the top of my head, the Persuasive check for one of the options on One's Public, and the Dangerous check to use a Dreadful Surmise to increase Taste of Lacre.
I am not aware of any such high-level checks for Shadowy, but robbing a drunken rat has a reward proportional to your Shadowy including equipment.
Raising Renown has increasing stat requirements. The highest mechanical benefits come at Renown 40, which does not require outrageous stats, but the highest cosmetic benefits come at Renown 50, which stretches the limits.

Options on the "All fear the Overgoat!" card have 200 and 300 Watchful checks (that's 100% at 334 and 500, respectively).
The Nadir has "An Unlikely Garden" with a ludicrous Persuasive 1000 check. "One's public" has a 200 check, although oddly enough the easier option will often pay out more (I haven't run the math, but I think it's on average more profitable). And the card from having lodgings at the Bazaar has a Persuasive 150 check, which hits 100% at 250. Not at all impossible, but definitely only reliable for a well-equipped Londoner.
If you take a pail of so-called snow and "Feed it to a Wild Boar" you face a Dangerous 200 check.

You have probably arrived at the new Dilmun Club content boundary. There is no more to do at this point past spending time with your ministers at the Court. I don't think there's a timetable for any more updates at this point, Sunless Skies is probably requiring everyone's attention right now.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. In the meantime, I guess I'll see what happens when I collect all the Ministers. Thanks again!

With a Semiotic Monocle and SotC 10, you can turn your Pail into 3 ToL. This works as long as your ToL is below 6, so you can do this twice. Depending on what you plan to use your ToL for, you're probably best off saving any future buckets until you spend ToL and it drops below 6 once more.
