Grizzly’s shaking things up A BIG MAC WITH FINES
ACTOR JAMES HAS BLAST AT WOKES WHO BAN JOKES
A HUGE grizzly bear fills the air with water droplets as it vigorously shakes its fur to get dry.
These incredible shots showed the 6½ft-long beast after it had done a spot of salmon fishing.
They were taken in British Columbia, Canada, by professional wildlife photographer John E Marriott, 51, from Canmore, Alberta.
He said: “It’s a shot that everyone wants – the classic spray shake with the head and body shuddering to and fro furiously for a few seconds.
“Like most animals, they shake off excess water as soon as they leave the water source, but it’s also in many instances a type of play.”
A DRUNKEN man ordered by police to leave a city centre went to buy a Big Mac instead – and it ended up costing him £299.
Liam Oliver, 21, was slapped with a section 35 dispersal order after arguing with a friend outside a pub. But instead of leaving the area, he went to Mcdonald’s.
Richard Hull, defending, said: “He was drunk when he got into an argument with a friend and door staff intervened.
Hungry
“He was trying to explain to them that he was arguing with a friend and that it was something that would resolve itself.
“But, because he was in drink, he doesn’t explain it in the right way and the argument becomes between him and the officers rather than him and his friend.”
The court heard a police officer told Oliver, a gas engineer from Worcester, to leave several times but he refused.
Mr Hull added: “He makes a decision which is going to make it a very expensive Big Mac. He was hungry and he thought, ‘I will get a Mcdonald’s and then I will leave.’ But, of course, that is a breach.
“He has never been in trouble before.” Kerry Lovegrove, prosecuting, told Worcester magistrates Oliver “became argumentative” with police.
He was fined £130 with £169 costs.

ACTOR James Dreyfus has blasted woke snowflakes saying “we’re all back in Salem”.
The Gimme Gimme Gimme star likened “cancel culture” to the 17th Century witch trials in the US town.
He slated the rise of “the pitchfork mob, the mass resurrection of Mary Whitehouse and her moral outrage and purity” from politically correct audiences. The campaigner tried to get many TV shows banned if she thought they were too rude or crude.
Dreyfus, 52, warned “joking around is now a somewhat precarious affair, lest offence is taken”.
He added: “And like mad dogs playing Chinese whispers, your ‘joke’ could be the end of you.”
The actor highlighted a report on the BBC by watchdog Ofcom, which said comedy was an “at risk” genre. The study found in the past decade, the amount of original comedy on the BBC had plummeted by more than 40%.
Dreyfus said were now living “deranged world”.
