🇩🇰 Today in Denmark: Unleashed Edition*Obnoxious Ollie Save* Add an Obnoxious Comment**

Danish roads are a chaotic mess today, thanks to a fiery lorry on the Great Belt Bridge and a potentially lengthy court case over a bizarre potato protest. Sit back, grab a bag of actual potatoes, and let's dive into the madness that is Denmark this Monday!

Potato Pranksters Face Judgement: Court Date Begins for Great Belt Bridge Potato Chuckers

Four rude eggheads face the music this Monday as their potato-related antics on the Great Belt Bridge are far from forgotten. These lads aged from 21 to 59 risk some serious jail time and the permanent loss of their driving privileges. The trial kicks off at Svendborg District Court. Brace yourselves for some witty potato-related puns from the prosecution.

Originally it was just a simple protest against a new truck tax law that you wouldn't find in any vegan's nightmares. But the potato protesters must've really believed their cause was worthy, because not one, but TWO tons of spuds were strewn across the Great Belt Bridge and a motorway! Oh, the humanity!

Great Belt Bridge Disruption: Fire on Central Island Spreads Muck for Commuters

The Great Belt Bridge is still reeling from the past weekend's events. A lorry caught fire on Sprogø, the central island, and though traffic is moving, speeds have been reduced significantly. Thanks a bunch, Timmy Firetruck.

The dreadful fire forced the bridge to close overnight, causing quite the traffic snarl. The lorry was transporting wood and one of these flammable logs went up in smoke, causing the rest of the cargo to, well, you know... fell onto the road. No one was hurt, and the cause of the fire remains a mystery. Let's hope there's no potato evidence to watch for!

ETA Glitch Stirs Trouble for Some Brits: Dual-Nationality Blues

It ain't the Emerald Isle, but the cloudy skies are causing problems for British passport holders with a second nationality. An apparent glitch in the UK's fancy schmancy electronic visa waiver system is locking some dual-nationals out of the country. If you don't have a proper British passport, it seems you won't be attending the Royal Wedding – or any weddings!

Weather: Sunshine Grows Warmer Despite Some Frosty Nights**

It looks like Mother Nature's lollygagging with winter, giving us a glimpse of spring – even though it feels more like Tuesday in February. Dry days with sunshine are on tap this week, and it's only gonna get a smidgen warmer each day. Better wear some Sarah McLachlan music for your coats, though; it's bone-chilling out there!
