  • There's a hedgehog in my BATH! The animals are under threat - but not this pampered pet who loves nothing more than a swim <br />
<br />
After a week of prickly news for hedgehogs, at least this adorable little chap looks bristling with joy.<br />
But then Hokey is an African Pygmy hedgehog living the high life in an apartment rather than taking his chances in the wild like Britain’s declining one million hedgehogs.<br />
Shockingly, earlier this week a hedgehog was found in student accommodation at Sheffield University, with his spikes cruelly cut off.<br />
<br />
Frankie, as he has been named, is being nursed back to health at an animal sanctuary.<br />
How different things are for Hokey. Col Skinner, 29, a digital marketing consultant, and partner Beki Smith, 24, a social media executive, bought him for £200 from a specialist breeder at eight weeks old.<br />
Now aged nine months, he has settled in to their second- storey flat in Manchester and enjoys the run of the place when the couple get home.<br />
Mr Skinner said: ‘We chose him after finding out they make great pets. He loves swimming in the bath then getting wrapped in a flannel. They’re natural swimmers.’<br />
<br />
However, an RSPCA spokesman sounded a note of caution: ‘African Pygmy hedgehogs have more specialist requirements than more traditional domesticated pets, so it’s difficult to meet their needs in a household environment.<br />
‘We would encourage people to consider adopting a more traditional animal (like a cat or dog) from a rehoming centre.’<br />
<br />

  • Stunning photographs reveal the beautiful ceilings in Iran's mosques, bazaars and public baths<br />
<br />
For the past few decades, restrictions on travel to Iran has meant the country has been largely shut off from the Western world, but as visa sanctions are lifted in the light of a landmark nuclear deal, the local tourism industry is hoping for a flurry of visitors.<br />
It's not hard to see why Iran is listed as one of the top travel destinations of 2016, with its rich culture and history. <br />
Among the standout aspects of the nation is its beautiful ancient architecture, with the cities and towns littered with ornate and eye-catching mosques, public baths and markets. <br />
And unlike many other countries - the roof is not an afterthought, with many ceilings built as the centrepiece to the building, with many of the tile designs showcasing a display of intricate geometric patterns that date back several centuries. <br />
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has travelled the country photographing the ceilings of indoor markets, mosques and bath houses. <br />

  • Stunning photographs reveal the beautiful ceilings in Iran's mosques, bazaars and public baths<br />
<br />
For the past few decades, restrictions on travel to Iran has meant the country has been largely shut off from the Western world, but as visa sanctions are lifted in the light of a landmark nuclear deal, the local tourism industry is hoping for a flurry of visitors.<br />
It's not hard to see why Iran is listed as one of the top travel destinations of 2016, with its rich culture and history. <br />
Among the standout aspects of the nation is its beautiful ancient architecture, with the cities and towns littered with ornate and eye-catching mosques, public baths and markets. <br />
And unlike many other countries - the roof is not an afterthought, with many ceilings built as the centrepiece to the building, with many of the tile designs showcasing a display of intricate geometric patterns that date back several centuries. <br />

  • What is the best way to draw attention to an unrepaired road in your neighbourhood?<br />
<br />
Write a letter to the authorities? Complain on social media? Or protest by sitting in the offending pothole and taking a bath?<br />
<br />
Well, the latter is exactly what a Bangkok-based model called Palm decided to do. She was fed up with the condition of the roads on her route to her relatives in the Mae Ramat district in Thailand’s Tak province.<br />
<br />
So she donned a shower cap and took a ‘protest bath’ in one of the holes that are causing ongoing problems and accidents.<br />
<br />
Photos of the event have been widely shared across social media in Thailand and China. They have inspired others to copy her actions to draw attention to the state of their local roads.<br />
<br />
The woman pictured below in a yellow dress appears to have aped Palm’s protest in Chaiyaphum one of the provinces in north east Thailand.<br />
<br />
A group of grandmothers in Khon Kaen Province, also in north east Thailand, followed suit with a mass bathe-in.<br />
<br />
They complained that the government hadn’t repaired the road for the last 30 years. But they have now been promised that the road will be repaired after the rainy season.<br />
<br />
Palm’s pothole protest also appears to have made a difference. According to reports the governor of Tak Province ordered the relevant agencies to repair the road without delay, and new photos posted on Facebook appear to confirm that those repairs are underway.<br />
<br />
The woman in the yellow dress has also reportedly been promised that action will result from her watery wallow.<br />
<br />
However, some are nor prepared to wait around for officialdom to make good on its promises. A retired German engineer, Peter Goman, has won huge admiration on social media after his Thai wife, Kusuma Namwon, posted pictures of him getting stuck in to help repair roads near their home in Buriram province.<br />
<br />
“Motorcyclists would occasionally fall into the holes, and the people in the houses would rush to them,” Kusuma reportedly said. In addition

  • home of horrors where tenant used bath as a TOILET<br />
<br />
These disgusting pictures show the home from hell seized by a council after it emerged its tenant was using his bath as a TOILET.<br />
<br />
Doors were found smashed and mouldy food and rubbish strewn across David Fyles’ home in Ormskirk.<br />
<br />
The toilet was overflowing with effluent - and the bath was used as a makeshift lavatory.<br />
<br />
A council officer today described the three-bed property in Lea Crescent as the “worst living conditions” he had seen in 30 years of service.<br />
<br />
Fyles, 49, was evicted after a court was shown the shocking photos and the property was repossessed by the council.<br />
<br />
The cost of making the home habitable again is expected to run into thousands of pounds<br />
