Man being arrested accused police officer of touching his genitals Whyte’s trousers had come down as he was being restrained, and the officer had been trying to pull them up.

No succulent Chinese meal involved, just a nasty bit of homophobic abuse.

York Press: SATURDAY - 
YORK MAN ATTACKED BY FERRET.

My first job was at Weymouth Sealife Centre as part of an hourly attraction called “Man gets beaten up by angry sea lion”, where I played the role of “the man”. I didn’t like it much, so I know how this guy feels - good luck for tomorrow, fella!

Leeds grandma swindled out of lifesavings by 'cowboy builder' to get dream extension A Leeds grandmother who was conned out of her life savings by a rogue trader is set to see her dream extension become reality - thanks to a kind-hearted builder.

The rats even bricked up her trousers. But the reaction to this shows that - yes - we CAN occasionally have nice things.

I’ve a former colleague who does this. He’s also the spitting image of Simon Pegg, so he’s very popular at fan conventions.

YOUR POEMS
Baking
by Annie Thompson love baking.
Cake is what I think I do best.
My family like to take the test.
Yummy lemon drizzle cake is one of my best.
They mark my scores out of 10.
Am chuffed to bits when I am marked 11 out of 10.
Makes me want to bake it again.
Marble cake as well fits the bill.
I know it's not cake, but sausage rolls and cherry scones, or cheese scones, are delicious too.
1 love baking

We haven’t seen a poem from lovely, lovely Annie for a bit. But fear not!

Four teenage girls targeted by Cheshire Police over City Walls graffiti CHESHIRE Police has urged for more help identifying four girls between 13 and 16 who are alleged to have graffitied the Roman walls in Chester.

I remember this Agatha Christie mystery. It was a three-page pamphlet called Hercule Poirot’s Easiest Case. She was just dialling it in by then.

Barter Books though. Best second hand book store in the country.

Also in Alnwick, a delicatessen where we were served supermarket ham sandwiches in supermarket bread, while the owner was being astonishingly racist.

Star Wars descends on North East town to celebrate museum's toy exhibition The costumed volunteers were there to promote the touring exhibition, which comes to Alnwick from March until May

Lord Vader of Cheam marches to Alnwick police station after his TIE fighter was clamped while he was shopping in Barter Books, only to be told that “it’s a civil matter, sir”.

“Do you know who I am?” he asks the desk sergeant.

“Also sir, this is not the Death Star canteen sketch”.

'I want to leave my home after BT pole erected metres from my window' Tracey Crarer, 51, has lived in her home for 30 years - but now wants to sell up after telegraph pole was installed

I can’t be bothered to check, but I think this is a completely different “BT Openreach put a pole a few metres from my house and now I want to move” story from the previous “BT Openreach put a pole a few metres from my house and now I want to move” story we did the other day.

“A wooden hobby horse believed to be over 130 years old has been pulled out of storage and restored to its former glory - and will feature in the Ballyheigue St Patrick's Day parade.
A full preview of St Patrick's Day festivities - in Ballyheigue - and all around the county in this week's Kerry's Eye.”

Picture shows four middle-aged people, one in hi-vis, with a long white effigy of a horse. The horse is very long.

Anyway, more from Kerry’s Eye, the most joyful of all regional newspapers, and a child has been lodged in the Tunnel of Goats.
