Aman has paid a parking ticket fine 44 years after he first received it. Police in Pennsylvan­ia confirmed that they received $5 along with a handwritte­n note from a man – only known as Dave – confessing that he hadn’t paid a fine of $2 for parking in a restricted zone in 1972.

The man appeared to feel remorseful for his actions as his return address read: “Feeling guilty, Wayward Road, Anytown, Ca.”

Police Chief Michael Combs joked: “He paid his fine. So that’s 44 years later, so that means I only made $3 in 44 years.”

He added: “We do appreciate that this individual paid their ticket, and again, we encourage other individual­s, if you have an outstandin­g ticket, please pay them.”

An unnamed individual treated herself to the popular spa treatment – which sees tiny fish called Garra Rufa eat away at the dead skin cells on the feet.

But instead of leaving her with a perfect pedicure, she was left with her nails slowly shedding off six months later.

Just nine days after receiving her title, nine-year-old Zsa Zsa passed away in her sleep. The English bulldog won the ugliness title at a contest last month in Petaluma, California, and after her win the celebrity canine received $1,500 and was flown to New York first-class.

Amissing pony was found on the roof of a house, after being washed away in a flood.

The therapy equine, called Leaf, disappeare­d from a farm in Japan after being swept away by floods, and though a search party was sent out for the miniature pony, it was suspected she had drowned.

However, when the floods cleared, Leaf was found alive and well, standing on the roof of a house.

The animal was covered head to toe in mud and had a minor injury, but otherwise was healthy.

Residents are confused by Leaf’s arrival on the roof and insist that water levels were never high enough to sweep the pony that high off the ground. definitive­ly say that getting a fish pedicure is probably not the way to go to treat skin and nail conditions,” she said.

Agiant balloon of Donald Trump wearing a nappy is set to fly across Parliament during the American president’s visit tomorrow.

It comes after Mayor of London Sadiq Khan approved a petition and a crowdfundi­ng campaign which raised more than £16,000 to get the six-metre inflatable – named the Trump Baby – in the air.

Speaking to Sky News, Leo Murray – one of the activists behind the campaign – said: “We didn’t get off to the best start with the mayor’s office over this, who originally told us that they didn’t recognise Trump Baby as legitimate protest.

“But following a huge groundswel­l of public support for our plan, it looks like City Hall has rediscover­ed its sense of humour. Trump Baby will fly!”

A spokespers­on for the Mayor of London added: “The mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understand­s that this can take many different forms.”
