This week:
Raging bull
When PC Steve Thomson responded to a call of an escaped bullock on the A30 in Devon little did he know he'd be redefining the term 'police chase'.
The officer turned up and did his best to contain the wandering beast, which had found its way into some roadworks.
It seems the bull was incensed by the officer's fluorescent yellow jacket, and charged straight at him.
Fortunately for us the whole thing was caught on the policeman's dashboard-mounted camera (right).
Unfortunately for the bull police marksmen arrived at the scene two hours later and shot it dead. At least it got to end its days as a TV star (though we doubt they'll make it into a moo-vie).
Parking to Dai for
We're all guilty of giving people preferential treatment - handing out little discounts or favours to friends, or opening doors for good looking people while slamming them in the face of uglies.
A car park attendant at the Royal Victoria Hotel in Llanberis, Wales has been charging Welsh-speaking people less than English-only speakers to park.
Car owners should pay £4, but the cheeky parkie has been charging Welsh-speakers just £2.
One motorist secretly recorded the attendant saying: "It's half price for Welsh people."
Hotel manager Mark Smith said: "I didn’t know this was going on."
Loco broke-o
The great British public put up with a lot on public transport. Delays, cancellations, flaming badgers (see last week's Weird World…).
But being asked to fix the train you're travelling on takes the biscuit.
Passengers on the 16.35 London to Manchester Virgin Trains service were stunned to hear the train manageress ask if anyone with nuts, bolts or cable ties could make their way to the front of the train.
A handful of passengers did, and were equally stunned to find they were being asked to fix the windscreen wipers on the train, which would have to be repaired before the service could continue.
Passenger and temporary fix-it man Damian Gaskin said: "It was unbelievable. I had a few basic tools with me so I went to help. One man had a foot on the platform with his other stretched across the windscreen. He was straddling the train. He told me he was a passenger and fixed the electrics on a service the week before."
Even with the Good Samaritans' attempts to fix the broken train, all the passengers were forced to disembark and board a later service.
Video: Parallel parking Lexus
Want one. Again.
The Lexus LP640 is the latest in a long line of slightly posh cars to feature a device for automatically parallel park cars.
Check out this video of the car slotting neatly into place. I love the way they make them hold their hands out of the car. As if they're going to cheat.
