A Dog’s Purpose: Film Review
By Linda Marric They say, never work with children or animals, but in the case of A Dog’s Purpose that old adage can safely be left at the door. Initially marred by controversy relating to a now debunked animal abuse accusation during filming, the film was later exonerated by a third party investigation which found that there was no foul play. Despite suffering from bad reviews, which one suspects were mostly associated with the scandal, the film is way more...

He claims he can turn his head half way round and videos show him bending him arms and legs into bizarre shapes which make it look like he has no bones. He can do front press ups with his legs facing the 'wrong' direction, and wrap his arms around his waist - despite them being crossed behind his back. The flexible lad can...
Watch – Car rolls backwards in heavy traffic & mounts a tree

The silver car ended up half way up a tree after miraculously avoiding two lanes of stop-start traffic as it rolled at speed down the steep road. The driverless motor, which was being chased by a man and a woman, thought to be the driver and a passenger, clipped the sloping edge of a...
London Dance and Parkinson’s Group Obtains Charity Status!

Watch – Herd of alpacas given hilarious hairdos
A herd of alpacas have been given hilarious hairdos - including one styled to look like a poodle and another like a DINOSAUR.

The mum-of-three, of Cirencester, Glos., sketched some whacky designs before professional shearers turned her ideas into reality using clippers. One of the alpacas was fashioned to look like a poodle, another was given a stripey coat like...
