OK so this was actually published yesterday on The Impartial Reporter but it is the funniest headline I've seen in quite some time!

The article reads:

'A judge has told a 31-year-old woman he is running out of patience with her and her promises to stay out of trouble.

'The woman, Ann Marie Teresa McDonagh, of Derrin Park, Enniskillen, admitted stealing a black pudding and tub of coleslaw worth £2.28 from Shane Fitzpatrick and being disorderly.'

The court heard of how the gritty drama unfolded on the day in question with the Impartial Reporter saying:

'She took a tub of coleslaw from her pocket and set it on a wall. She then produced a Denny's black pudding from beneath her clothing and threw it over the wall.

'The items had been stolen from a nearby convenience store. McDonagh was very agitated and was swearing at the police. When they arrested her for being disorderly she told them to: "F--k off.'

The judge has ordered the woman to pay £2.28 in compensation.

Have you come across an odder headline in any of the local newspapers this week?
