I got a 5-star hygiene rating for a home-baking business in an open-plan kitchen with two cats in attendance when the inspector visited. If a restaurant charging £500 a head can't demonstrate they are managing hygiene risks they deserve to be shut down.

That Jimi Hendrix introduced feral parakeets to the UK by releasing a breeding pair in Camden has been debunked as an urban myth, but maybe he released them instead in Islington?

I think this is why people got fed up with Ordinary Language Philosophy.

The only reason Putin hasn't countered with a threat to annex Finland is that Finland doesn't exist. #conspiracytheory

Or just get a cat that can hypnotise you into thinking it has no psychic powers.

Do you save and re-use the cinnamon stick? It has always seemed to me such a large condiment to only get used in one dish(/toddy).

Although one of the reasons Queen Anne pushed for the Acts of Union in 1707 was that she could see Scotland's potential for renewables that would keep English kettles boiling during periods of peak energy demand #truefact

I've never had a subscription but I think I'm at the point where the free version now has almost no functionality left, while the paid version would just duplicate what I get for free from the Garmin app.

If we can convict Grok for this offence then it will at least be disqualified from jury service.

All those solstitially-aligned stone circles were actually built to demonstrate scientifically that the year was beginning again, to skeptical milk farmers who had "had enough of experts".

Adding to my tea a sweet viscous liquid produced by bees just to miel something.

Was mainly thinking of Google's AI search overview, also those inane Meta AI queries that appear below Facebook posts.

That's the direction in which the bottom of the wheel will turn when they set off.

He didn't throw you any sardines?

Hitler was a vegetarian not because he was a good person motivated by ethical reasons but because it was prescribed by doctors for his poor health. He did disingenuously use the vegetarianism to portray himself as a virtuous person though.

The French have no word for sous-entendre.

Book I got was utterly useless for my latest project to reduce the local population of mockingbirds.

Seems to be force-feeding of both inputs and outputs.

The prison sentences for this crime are among the langoustine US law.

Whichever it is, I think they'll be snapped up.

I think prior to the 1988 national curriculum the vast majority of secondary schools did 3 years of French, adding
German in the 3rd year, before kids chose which to continue with for O level or CSE for the last 2 years. Perhaps not compulsory, but still very hard not to continue with one of them.

Can confirm this is good for everyone - as an occasional parkrunner, there is no greater motivation than Don't Come Second To The Pram-Pusher.

Things could perhaps have been different if the requirement had been to study Kernewek or Gàidhlig or some other indigenous language :)

I agree that was a mistake, but was only introduced in the early 2000s - so the demographic most likely to have voted Leave, and to currently support ReformUK, would have had to study French or German at secondary school.
