Oddities! Angry UK mother explains why she invoiced 5yr old for missing birthday party

A heated row between two mums over Facebook has revealed how a five-year-old ended up being invoiced for missing a birthday party. Derek Nash and Tanya Walsh were stunned when they found a bill for £15.95 inside their son's school bag.

Alex Nash (pictured with his dad), aged five, decided to go on an outing with his grandparents instead of taking up an invite to attend the friend's birthday bash at a snow centre.

With the 50th birthday of Canada’s beloved Maple Leaf flag just a month away, some are wondering why there there’s been so little fanfare from the federal government.

Canadian Heritage says National Flag of Canada Day will be marked by educational activities and special events, including at the annual Winterlude festivities in Ottawa in the weeks to come.

The department also says community groups and schools are being encouraged to mark the anniversary throughout the year, although it didn’t immediately say how much it was spending on the flag’s birthday.

But the party-planning appears to pale in comparison to a multimillion-dollar effort to mark Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, and $5.2 million that was spent to mark the bicentennial of the War of 1812.

Gunfire at a New Year's house party shattered the predawn quiet in a sleepy Calgary neighbourhood Thursday morning, leaving one person dead and six wounded.

"All I heard was like this 'pop, pop, pop, pop.' I was half asleep, half awake, and that's all I heard, and I didn't really know what it was so I just went back to sleep,'' said Nita Nestman, who lives in a condo on the same street.

Nestman said the street had been quiet for most of the evening. When she heard the noise she didn't expect it to be gunfire.

"I was like, 'What the heck is that noise? Tires popping?''' she said.
