After a long day operating Hitachi heavy machinery, soothe your muscles with a Hitachi back massager.

They’re saying that it was an unauthorized third party (so either someone put it up themselves, or the council fucked up, most likely the former imho).

The force claimed if a motorist was to have traveled through the section signed as 40mph at the maximum permitted speed of 40mph, then sped up to 50mph after seeing the now-removed fake sign, their average speed on the section would not have resulted in them being issued with a speeding ticket.

That seems like a pretty important part of it too. They’re saying that even if you followed all the signs posted, your average speed would not have netted you a ticket.

Channel 4 had ice sculptures standing in for the Conservative and UKIP Brexit Reform parties at a climate debate after both leaders declined an invitation to take part.

I can’t see how anyone involved with allowing this isn’t complicit.
What possible reason did the police of a foreign nation need to be physically there for, other than physically removing someone?

I guess it simplifies the game plan. If there is only one outcome to prepare for, it’s easier to organise what you’re going to do.
Plus, it gives him a face save.

The traditional “british teeth” was the UK’s dental industry focussing on healthy rather than pretty.
Nowadays, it’s caused by underfunded patient slots at dentists.

You can find a private dentist pretty easily, but it’s quite hard to get taken on as an NHS patient (which means when you need treatment for something, you’re not in the capped NHS bands). Which is especially bad if you’re eligible for completely free treatment, as you’re blocked by available dentists.

The dentists are generally given funding (or access to funding) for a set amount of NHS patients to make up the difference between NHS capped costs and their true costs. And unfortunately, there often aren’t enough slots.
I was lucky with my current dentist that they happened to have slots when I signed up. And a few years later, they let me know when slots were opening so I could add the rest of the household.

The workload that’s starting now, is spotting bad code written by colleagues using AI, and persuading them to re-write it.

“But it works!”

This is from the Woolworth’s sit-in, where people sat at the segregated lunch counter in protest.
Other people who did not like this verbally and physically abused them.
