Man spotted walking sheep on lead through station
ScotRail shared a picture of the man leading the animal along a platform at Paisley Gilmour Street station in Renfrewshire this week.
It is not clear where they were going, though the next train due to arrive at the platform was one heading to Largs in North Ayrshire.
In a social media post, ScotRail said: 'Well, ewe don't see that every day at Paisley Gilmour Street!'
The photo shows the sheep looking docile as it walks along attached to a red lead while a man sitting on a bench looks on in apparent amusement.
A ScotRail spokesperson said: 'Monday evening brought one of the more ewe-nique sights on Scotland's Railway.
'We're used to livestock on the line causing disruption, but thankfully this visitor at Paisley Gilmour Street was on a lead and well baa-haved.'
Social media users joked about the incident, with one posting: 'I hope they've got a ticket or they'll be RAMifications…,' while another said: 'Seen it at Baaarhead.'
Others said they had seen the sheep being led along on a lead in Ayr and Prestwick in South Ayrshire in recent days.

23 Parents Are Revealing The Biggest (and Funniest) Lies They Tell Their Kids, And If You Need Me, I'll Be On The Floor Laughing
Sometimes a parent's got to do what a parent's got to do. Whether their kiddo is throwing a seemingly endless temper tantrum or refusing to eat their veggies, parents have to occasionally get a little creative with their version of the "truth..." That's why when TikTok user (and former NFL quarterback) @mattleinartqb said, "I'm bored. Tell me the biggest lies you tell your kids. I'm not talking about Santa or the Easter Bunny. I want the ones that you're taking to the grave," thousands of parents took to the comment section to share the weirdly useful and wildly creative "mistruths" they tell their children. Without further ado, here are 23 of their best stories: If you've ever told your kids a creative or hilarious lie, feel free to tell us about it in the comments or using this anonymous form! 1."When my daughters were six and three, they both slept with my partner and me, so I had them start sleeping on the floor instead. A couple of days in, they got the flu, so I told them they were allergic to carpet and they started sleeping in their own beds!" "I forgot all about it until my oldest was 21 and called to let me know she was not allergic to the kind of carpet in her boyfriend's house. I finally told her the truth. I didn't mean for them to believe it that long — I just forgot. I then got a call from my other daughter telling me that she couldn't believe I lied to them like that!" —tori_jones_ Related: 2."I used to tell my son that oil or chewing gum spots in the parking lot were kids who didn't hold their mommy's hand when they were walking in traffic." — 3."Whenever I don't want to watch one of my daughters' shows, I tell her the characters are sleeping: 'Sorry, Paw Patrol are sleeping!'" "She's only two and a half, but I'll be sad the day it doesn't work..." —mls090493 4."My son was a picky eater and would never eat homemade pizza. When he was about three, I made a pizza and told him it was Batman's special recipe. He ate that sh*t up. He still asks me for Batman pizza today and he's SEVENTEEN." —eunice38350 5."I told my kids that the hazard button in the car was an ejection button for the passenger seat and that it would shoot them straight through the roof! They never touched anything around it and believed me until they were around 10." —raynacorrine 6."For every bite of vegetables they ate during dinner, they could stay up five minutes later. They didn't know how to tell time, so it worked." —11carla 7."I told my niece that if you break a pinky promise, your pinky will fall off. When she eventually lied, she went wild trying to hold her pinky on because she thought she was going to lose it." —cass_a_bration Related: 8."My parents told my sister the ice cream man was actually the music man. He plays music to make people happy, and he only has his music on when he's out of ice cream." —laura_rey1993 9."I told my daughter when new teeth grow in, they create new tastes. Now she tries to figure out which new foods she will like every time a new tooth comes in." —christopherwilso62 10."I told my kids that all mommies have eyes in the back of their heads. We were at a rest stop once, and I asked the woman ahead of us in line if it was true, and she said, 'Yes, it's true.' ALL of the moms around us agreed." "It was an unspoken support group and my daughter wholeheartedly believed it!" —npe2021 11."My husband used to tell our kids that if they picked their noses, the boogers would bite their fingers and make them crooked. Then he would show them his old broken finger and say, 'See!'" —micheleg8192 Related: 12."I made up a fictional character called Mr. Bugs, and when my son is behaving badly, I always tell him, 'I'm calling Mr. Bugs to deliver bugs to your bedroom, so when you wake up, you'll have them all over your room.' He shapes up real quick." —a_wachter 13."My son choked on bacon when he was six and refused to eat after that. When we were going on day four, I decided I had to do something to get him to eat, so I introduced him to anti-choking medication (watered-down syrup) in a medicine bottle with a legitimate-looking label that had his name on it." "He is 15 now and still reminisces about how that medicine saved him." —ffdh509 14."We live in a semi-rural area, so there are wild rabbits all around the house. I told my son they're all Easter Bunny spies who report back daily, all year." —mom2wil 15."I'm not a parent, but when I was learning the difference between left and right, my parents told me if I put my shoe on the wrong foot, I'd grow an extra toe." — 16."I told my daughter the only man she could trust was her daddy because he graduated from 'man school' and got a diploma (a homemade wallet-size 'man card'). Only certain men can get such a prestigious award, and he's legit because he has the card in his wallet to prove it." — 17."If we go somewhere that has a playground or a bounce house and we don't have time to play, I tell my kids that we didn't buy tickets like the other children, and they're definitely sold out by now." —jpgiddens 18."I text 'Santa' with pictures of toys my kids like; that way, we don't have to fight about toys at every single store. Closer to Christmas, we text Santa again with the top two or three toys they wanted all year. It helps with Christmas shopping too!" —circusofamerica Related: 19."Our family went to Disney parks often when we were kids. My dad told us that he knew Mickey Mouse personally and if we went to sleep early, he would take our autograph books to him before he went to bed and get them signed, so we never had to wait in long lines." "It took 25 years for us to realize that my dad just used his left hand to sign 'Mickey's' name." —carlymathes12 20."When you pee in a pool, you have to raise your hand to let others know what you are doing, so they know to stay away." —otoole732003 21."We have a family gnome. He lives in the kitchen or pantry. We even have a house just for him. If my kids don't clean up their things, he'll take them away and give them to kids who will take care of them." "He also magically fixes/replaces things when they get broken if you ask him really nicely and do good deeds. When you're extra good, he'll randomly leave trinkets, candy, etc." —sapphirecailleach 22."They think the car doesn't start unless their seatbelt is fastened. Facts." —aprilprest 23."My son has a scar on his arm, and I told him that is where I put a tracking device in him so I always know where he is."

‘I Charge Them More Every Single Time:' Tech Reveals 1 Quality Guaranteed to Make Your Mechanic Hate You
A mechanic who goes by Claw Boss (@reelclawboss) on Instagram shared a customer pet peeve: Asking non-stop questions while he works. And it seems like there are more than a few other folks in the craft who share his mindset. The auto tech's short clip is set to the tune of a song that repeatedly implores a person to 'shut the [expletive] up,' as part of its hook. Pairing this tune with the text overlay in their clip, along with a group of dancing chickens, intones that the service tech isn't a fan of this particular client interaction. 'We all have that one customer. Stands in the shop while you're working on their car and won't stop asking questions,' he captions Commenters Were Divided Folks had differing opinions on the clients they render service to in their respective auto businesses. One person remarked that a patron has the right to ask questions since they're the one paying for their car to be fixed. 'Customer's car, customer's paying,' one said. However, there was another Instagram user who seemed to concur with Claw Boss's commentary on the chatty individuals who roll into his shop. They said, 'Best part of our shop: Only staff allowed in shop.' Another person, who said that they were an auto tech themselves, echoed the aforementioned sentiment. According to them, they've never been employed in an automotive service center that allowed customers to watch the work techs were doing. 'Never in my life have I seen a shop allow customers in the shop,' they penned. 'I be on the other side of the glass like *hey, did you make sure to torq that bolt!? While I smoke my dart and continue to stare. Lol all jokes aside I do enjoy watching and learning.' But this didn't appear to be par the course for all folks getting their cars fixed. One person who got their vehicle's air conditioning system repaired expressed that they were grateful to watch their mechanic fix the issue. Moreover, they said the tech was forthcoming about the work he was completing. 'My mechanic let me watch him do my AC for my truck. I asked a few questions and he didn't mind. He seemed to like that I was trying to learn,' they said. Other Mechanics Sound Off It seems like Claw Boss wasn't the only service tech who took to social media to decry this specific customer behavior. YouTuber Barricade Garage also professed he wasn't too fond of someone looking over his shoulder while he was working on a car. In a caption for his video that touches on this same topic, he writes, 'most mechanics usually want to be left unbothered when working on your vehicle.' Additionally, Redditors in this r/MechanicAdvice post also discussed this same client phenomenon. The thread's original poster wanted to know if it was considered poor manners on his part to watch the tech replace the tires on his vehicle. One person remarked that the practice is 'a touchy subject with a lot of shops,' due to how different customers react to the work being performed on their vehicle. They said that customers might try to nickel-and-dime labor time, not considering that a mechanic who has accrued decades of experiencing fixing problems is able to rectify a problem more quickly than a less experienced tech. Thus, their complaints about inaccurate labor times are invalidated. To drive this point home, they shared an anecdote about a client who went 'ballistic' for being billed for 30 minutes of labor on a muffler replacement. They said the tech swapped out the component in around five minutes and asked why they were charged for 30 minutes of labor instead. Following this, the Reddit user explained to the customer, 'The guy who just put your muffler on has almost 30 years' exhaust experience. And has it down to an art. If I'd known you wanted to wait longer I would have done it myself - I'm a diagnostic tech and really bad at exhaust. It takes me forever,' they wrote. Some Mechanics Don't Mind Watchful Customers Another commenter in the same Reddit thread said it all boils down to the type of person who is watching them perform their work. This user said, 'I don't mind people watching because they are curious.' Although, when they begin to chime in with their own repair strategies, or when they reference other handy people they know, that's when they begin to take issue with sideline commentary. 'Don't call me a liar, and don't bring it to me to fix it if you trust [someone else] so much,' they penned. In this Quora post, some auto techs argued that barring customers from entering the shop area boils down to potential safety concerns. They said that due to heavy machinery, car lifts, and an array of moving parts, clients could be at risk of bodily harm. In order to mitigate these possible incidents from occurring and any legal actions that could be levied against the shop, many service centers will bar folks from watching their cars being worked on.

Lele Pons Gives Birth to Baby No. 1 With Husband Guaynaa
Lele Pons and husband Guaynaa are officially a family of three. In a joint Instagram post shared on Sunday, July 27, the couple uploaded an image of them holding onto the newborn's foot. In another pic, Guaynaa and Pons held hands as the little one wrapped her fingers around her dad's thumb. 'Eloísa 💕 July 26, 2025,' the caption read. The former Dancing With the Stars contestant and Guaynaa (real name: Jean Carlos Santiago Pérez) announced in March that they were expecting their first child together. Dancing With The Stars' Lele Pons Falls Over Twice During Baby's Sex Reveal Announcement 'We're PREGNANT!!!!! 🤰🏼❤️🥹 ,' the pair wrote in an Instagram post at the time, unveiling Pons' growing baby bump. 'Can't wait to meet you! We love you — Mom & Dad.' Pons went on to unveil the news to a group of Dancing With the Stars pros, including Gleb Savchenko, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Jenna Johnson and Rylee Arnold. In a TikTok video shared at the time, Pons FaceTimed them and was all smiles as she debuted her baby bump. 'Telling my Dancing With the Stars family I'm pregnant,' Pons captioned the post, to which Johnson commented with a heart emoji, 'Soooo happy for you mama.' The next month, Pons and Guaynaa recorded themselves finding out the sex of their baby in a since-deleted video. After having loved ones stand on stage depending on whether they thought the pair was expecting a boy or a girl, the twosome — who were placed in front of a fake 'TNT' buzzer — pressed the button as pink slime poured down from the ceiling. Witney Carson's Family Album With Husband Carson McAllister and Son Leo: Pics In the footage, Pons slipped on the slime and hit the ground twice before her friends and family helped her up. Pons and Guaynaa first crossed paths while working together on the music video 'Se Te Nota' in September 2020. The couple went Instagram official in December 2020, sharing PDA-filled photos from a skip trip. 'MINE ❤️ (it's official),' Pons captioned the post at the time. The pair tied the knot in March 2023 at the Fairchild Botanical Gardens in Miami. Paris Hilton, Camila Cabello and Diplo reportedly attended the nuptials. Pons rose to fame on Vine, before transitioning to YouTube in 2016. Pons, who has amassed more than 18 million followers on the platform, has since starred in a 2020 docuseries The Secret Life of Lele Pons, 2023's Dancing With the Stars season 32 and season nine of The Masked Singer — where she was ultimately unveiled as The Jackalope.
