IN NEED OF A DOGTOR ....... AN ICE CREAM, AN UMBRELLA?

First things first ..... 
Remember the Vampire Slaying Kit featured two weeks ago in my Media Monday post? (If not check it out HERE) Well, it has just made seven and a half thousand pound at auction.


Reminds me of the joke ...... 'Dogtor', 'Dogtor', I think I'm a pair of curtains.
Oh for goodness sake, pull yourself together man!
Consulting the family pet before a big job interview or important life decision is something many Brits will hold their hand up to.
But those who don't have a commiserating kitty or compassionate canine of their own can now indulge in one-on-on therapy sessions with a doggy psychiatrist. 
The wacky solution comes off the back of a survey that claims a whopping 85 per cent of all cat and dog owners talk to their animals about relationships, work, family and finance. More

Talk about slapstick, this actress is certainly in need of a dogtor doctor .....
An actress playing Mrs Twit lived up to her character's name  - when she ended up in hospital after getting hit in the face with a kettle.
Lizzy Dive suffered mild concussion when a mock fight scene went wrong during an open-air production of Roald Dahl’s comedy book The Twits.
She dodged a frying pan wielded by her onstage husband Mr Twit but failed to get out of the way of the kettle that followed. More 


But not nearly as much as this thief in my article of the week .....
A bungling raider was injured after dropping five stone (70lbs) of frozen doner kebab meat on his foot.
Footage shows that the crooks ignored the shop’s expensive computer equipment – and a till full of cash – targeting the huge mass of meat instead.
Raw shish kebabs, samosas and a 10kg container of raw marinated chicken was also taken during the robbery. More


And from kebabs to ice cream.
If your ice cream isn't weird and wacky then its just not cool.

Mustard, chocolate and rosemary, grilled sweetcorn, cigar-smoked caramel, parsnip and wasabi, smoked olive oil and black pepper are just some of the flavours available at various outlets across the country. More


And yet more ice cream ......
An ice cream man earns some extra 'lolly' - by opening his van for business while stuck in a traffic  jam.
Sweating drivers flocked to buy treats from his hatch between junctions ten and 11 of the M25 near Chertsey, Surrey.
Motorist Fraser Simms, 40, said: “I was stunned when I saw what he was doing. All the traffic had come to a halt and it was roasting hot. Good on him — he got a good 20 minutes of trade.” More 


Feline proud!

A feisty cat has been employed to do a dog's job after taking up a security post at a toy warehouse.
Millie the Bengal cat, thought to be the world's first ever feline security guard, has been hired to guard some of the UK's best-selling toy ranges. More


Not exactly what they were expecting to see ..... Members of Cheshire police force were on the receiving end of a shocking surprise when they were confronted by an alligator having a bath on a recent cannabis raid.
From the outside, it looked just like a normal suburban semi, but when the police raided the three-bedroom family home they weren’t expecting to find something altogether deadly lurking in the bathroom.
A 2.4m (8ft) alligator splashing around in the bath is what ‘greeted’ officers acting on a tip-off about a cannabis factory. More


Your anniversary or a football match?

Fly out to for the Euro 2012 football quarter-finals or stay at home to celebrate your anniversary with your partner?
This was the difficult decision that one man known only as Chris had to make. And if this banner, slung over a busy duel carriageway in Birmingham, is anything to go by Chris didn't choose very wisely. More
