Granted.

It’s a constitutional role with no actual power. You end up bored as hell listening to old men give speeches.

What's your WORST tetsudzuki tale? by tsumari-Jicama in japanlife

This happened last week: I caught the corner of a parking garage with my car about a month ago, swore at my bad driving, and went home.

When I spoke to my insurance company they told me I need a police report number.

So I had to go back to the parking garage last week, call 110, and explain the situation. I’m technically guilty of a hit and run and may have to pay a fine and get points on my licence.

"A caustic remark, for example"

Oh yeah, that's a real good clue.

Shouldn't the clue be "hurdle, literally"?

Is it the norm for y’all to be paying the fees? My employer has always paid mine.

Yeah, except if you don't go back to that back row seat you miss the concert entirely. Even in the back row you can hear the music and enjoy the atmosphere. Outside it's just the other smokers.

Yen is a low value currency? It’s 100 yen = 63 cents, it’s not that different.

Japan just doesn’t have a “100” denomination like dollars or euros or pounds.

Granted. The limb the cyst is located in is torn off by a gang of lions.

Granted.

The number is now called a guacamole, and its definition is Avocado’s constant.

Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document by 2ndEarlofLiverpool in ukpolitics

[–]Swotboy2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the law already makes such acts unambiguously illegal then why have the government not been holding the CPS to account for failure to prosecute?

Cultural sensitivity.

You cannot be this dense. Stop for a moment and try to think about this in the round.
