As you might expect, many Mail Online readers didn't take kindly to a report that strived to paint them as simplistic, terrified dimwits. Many leapt from the tyres they were swinging in to furrow their brows and howl in anger.

Pro tip #1: If you are not a plant, don't act like one.

Pro tip #2: If you are not a medical professional, don't pretend to be one.

Australia.

And she's been beaten to it by a decade. Jasmuheen's been doing the rounds for years.

Tilt the board a little bit, and they eventually find their way to Texas, California, or Florida.

Slap together Chad Johnson and Broward County.

I don't really want bad things to happen, but...it doesn't get more perfect than that.

Man calls Solihull police to complain about prostitute's looks

 

[Slash]

Wow that is funny. What an idiot lol

 

[photonrider]

Well . . .

The Sale of Goods Act 1979 gives consumers legal rights, stipulating goods which are sold must be of satisfactory quality, be fit for purpose and must match the seller's description.

He should have kept a stiff upper lip, though, and not made such a limp complaint.

 

[ASH32]

You can't quote the sales of goods act when what you are trying to buy is illegal, what an idiot.

It's like the idiots that try to sell drugs on facebook buy and sell pages.💡

Dear Quebec:


This is why you can't have your own country.


Respectfully yours,

North America

Quebec government is about as stupid and corrupt as it gets.

It kinda reminds me of overzealous Gaelgóirs (Irish-speakers) who cover the English names on bilingual signs here. Don't get me started on our "Language Commissioner", too.

It can get worse .

Is this the same guy who called the police because his weed was stolen?

 

[Blitz24]

My name is Flordia!

Man calls Solihull police to complain about prostitute's looks

Quality!

According to Wiki (the most reliable source in the world) Prostitution is legal in the UK? I never knew this.

"In the United Kingdom, prostitution itself (the exchange of sexual services for money) is legal,[2] but a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel, pimping and pandering, are crimes."

So seeing as the man was on private property, I'm assuming a hotel car park can be counted as private property? (It probably doesn't) Then he committed no crime?

 

[Pupik]

Tut, tut...it's Flordia-Flordia. How nobody notceid unitl it was mountid on the gantry wtih the lightnig modules is beyond my understandnig.

(Actually, the sign was made in Arkansas, but the FDOT editorial process is a bit borked.)

Reminds me of the time when they renamed the Triboro Bridge in NYC the RFK Bridge. On the FDR Drive North they were installing a sign and traffic was backed up really badly (at 11 AM mind you). I get to the sign, and there are at least 3 guys on a cherry picker next to the sign that reads "RF Bridge" and they are looking at the sign like "Is that right? Did we miss something?"

Man stripped off and urinated during night spent in railway station lift

Good ol' North Wales.

This is why I'm glad I took the plane to Birmingham rather than the ferry and train via Holyhead.

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

 

[The Bman]

And just to think, if someone slipped and fell in that lift...

I shouldn't laugh but

KTVU Channel 2, a Fox affiliate in the San Francisco Bay Area, has issued an apology on Friday after an on-air blunder by an anchorwoman that involved fake names of Asiana flight 214 pilots.

I wonder how long it took before the wave of sudden realisation came over her. Must have felt real good.
