A rather large number of shellfish brought a busy ferry service to a complete standstill.
Apparently the mussels were lodged in the cooling system of the ferry and as a result the engines shut down when they grew too large. The ferry usually run between North Shields and South Shields was put out of action for [...]

Ever seen a dog sitting in a car on a boiling hot summers day and thought, “bastards, how cruel”. Well it seems like a dog in California has got his own back. “Max” a Californian owned boxer decided to take the initiative and drive his owners pick up truck over the road into [...]
