Mum sends son to school with sex doll sheep for nativity play

A mum mistakenly bought a sheep sex doll for her son’s school nativity play and now he doesn’t want to give it back.

Alfie, five, has become obsessed with the animal prop.

Helen Cox, from Alloa, Scotland, had no idea what the real purpose of the sheep was when she bought it as part of a £16.99 fancy dress costume on Amazon.

Surely the question should be ‘who would want a sheep sex toy?’

Some right weirdos about

Edit - at the risk of offending ......there is a certain country that apparently the citizens of are partial to this
 
As a proud Welshman I can only apologize for the behaviour of New Zealand :p

The amount of those inflatable sheep I've been hit in the head with at Wrexham and Wales games might have desentized me a bit...but I don't see the issue, surely it's just an inflatable sheep in both circumstances. It's the users intentions that make it a toy or a **** puppet o_O?

TUI refunds holiday for 'horrifying' dead son tribute

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engla...l&ocid=socialflow_twitter&ns_campaign=bbcnews

Hotel staff created a "horrifying" effigy of a couple's dead son in a misguided attempt at a tribute.

Karen Baker had arranged for workers at a Jamaican resort to dress a room for friends Faye and Andrew Stephens, whose son Alex died in 2014.

Instead, she was left "sweating and shaking" when met by the sight of a body made out of clothes lying on the hotel bed.

TUI UK refunded the family for the "misunderstanding".

The Stephens, from Willesden, north-west London, have made an annual tradition of celebrating their son's birthday since his death, aged 22, in 2014.

Indeed! I’ve come across one before on a stag do when the stag was made to carry it all day, in Amsterdam!

So I think (hope) they are more of a novelty joke item than a niche festish item!

Organizers of a Christmas event have apologized to outraged parents after a fire alarm reportedly prompted Santa Claus to burst out of his grotto, rip off his beard and scream at children to "get the **** out."

The incident occurred at an event in the English town of St. Ives, Cambridgeshire on Sunday, when an alarm at a nearby but unconnected event caused an evacuation of the building, organizers said.

To be fair, most people I know in Cambridge, and I know a few, need that shouted at them otherwise they won't move.
 
Parrot Falls In Love With Alexa And Keeps Ordering Things From Amazon

[...]

But Rocco's love for the virtual assistant device may not be as pure as initially thought - he started using the Amazon Echo in his new home to order all the things he likes to eat.

Living with his new owner - Sanctuary worker Marion Wischnewski - Rocco has been causing a whole heap of mischief with Alexa serving as his partner in crime. His breed is highly well known for its mimicking skills, meaning he was able to add his preferences to a virtual supermarket list.

Marion said: "I have to check the shopping list when I come in from work and cancel all the items he's ordered."

On his list he's added a whole range of fruit and veg, including melons, broccoli and raisins (pretty healthy) along with ice cream (ok, not so healthy).

He's also ordered some pretty random stuff such as a lightbulb and a kite - well, why not?

Schoolgirl Has Been Eating B&M Advent Calendar That Was Actually Meant For Cats

One little girl will have a Christmas 'tail' to tell for years to come after it turned out her festive advent calendar was not for human consumption and was instead for cats.

The nine-year-old schoolgirl had been eating the chocolatey treats her mum had bought for her but was horrified when it turned out the £1.99 gift contained catnip. Fur-realz.

Alissa Evans, nine, had complained about the 'weird tasting' calendar and said the chocolates looked funny but her mum had picked up the Garfield design thinking it was ideal...

Whoops! :tearsofjoy:
