A wobbly lamb has become the latest member of staff at a National Trust property.

Terence was not expected to survive when he was born at Arlington Court near Barnstaple, Devon. The Jacob sheep, who was one of twins, struggled to walk and was very small, so was taken away from his mother. He is now being reared by Murray Sharpe, head ranger at Arlington Court, who bottle-feeds him every four hours. Terence spends all his time with Sharpe and travels in his Land Rover across the 1,092-hectare estate.

Bad hair day

A salon had a visit from North Korean officials after poking fun at their leader’s unusual hairstyle.

Staff at M&M Hair Academy in South Ealing, west London, put up a poster with ‘Bad Hair Day?’ across a picture of Kim Jong-un, with details of a special offer on men’s haircuts in April.

The dictator sports a striking hairdo which is shaved around the sides and then longer on top.

Barber Karim Nabbach, 26, said salon manager Mo Nabbach was confronted by two men claiming to be officials from the country, demanding to know his name.

He said: “We didn’t realise but the North Korean embassy is a 10-minute walk from the salon. The next day we had North Korean officials pop into the salon asking to speak to the manager.

“He said: ‘Listen, this isn’t North Korea, this is England. We live in a democracy so I’m afraid you’re going to have to get out of my salon’.”

Giant panda gets helping hand

The UK’s only female giant panda has been artificially inseminated after she and her intended partner failed to mate naturally.

Edinburgh Zoo bosses were hopeful that Tian Tian would mate with male Yang Guang this year, but moved on to artificial insemination after her hormone levels started to fall quickly.

The procedure was carried out on Sunday using samples from Yang Guang. Experts said they will not know for certain whether Tian Tian is pregnant until she gives birth, which could be in August or September.

Courting trouble in California

A man was arrested after using a stolen car to get to a court appearance in California, police said.

James Manning was taken into custody after police said they received a call from an auto dealership in Redding reporting the vehicle stolen on Friday. The 2001 Mitsubishi’s GPS indicated it was parked in front of the Tuolumne County courthouse. Officers found the car, which already had a different set of licence plates on it.

Manning’s wife, Teresa Castillo, 45, told officers her husband had bought the car earlier for $200 dollars (€144) so they could drive to his court appearance.

Manning, 49, and his wife were arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft and possession of a controlled substance.
