Tourists 'spot' weird beast in Loch Ness waters
The shark like submarine, which can reach speeds of up to almost 45 miles per hour and jump five metres in height from the water, was able to deliver pizzas to campers on the shores.
Designed for stealth and speed, the craft is powered by a 300-horsepower high-performance engine.

While the sighting wasn't of the Loch Ness Monster, those watching from the shore were staggered at the sheer pace of the unidentified object which delivered the pizza brands goods to the pair at a nearby camping spot in Loch Ness, Scotland.
Captured on video, this high-speed vessel moves across the open water performing a series of moves that break the surface, before pulling up next to a couple waiting on a dock for a pizza.
Izzy Gardener, from Pizza Delivery Innovation at Domino's said: 'We're always looking for new and unexpected ways to deliver to our customers, and this summer we wanted to make a splash with another quirky delivery,
"Loch Ness is known for its legends, so it felt like the perfect place to test the waters of a world-first submarine delivery.'
This is the latest wacky way in which the brand is trying to push the boundaries when it comes to delivering pizza.
The Domi-dog, a robot pooch designed to keep pizza safe this summer from pesky seagulls, was let loose on a south coast beach.
Another was the pothole proof delivery bike, complete with onboard oven set to 68C to keep orders warm in transit.
Not to mention their other endeavours to break new markets with the creation of a Pepperoni Passion perfume ahead of Valentines Day.
And the Easter Release of the limited-edition Garlic & Herb Egg.
Izzy Gardener added: 'While we won't be training all drivers to become pilots of this unique mode of transport anytime soon, it shows our ongoing commitment to innovation and how far we'll go to deliver to our customers.'

TV moneymaking expert reveals how YOU could be sitting on thousands of pounds
TOY TREASURE TV moneymaking expert reveals how YOU could be sitting on thousands of pounds FROM Labubus to Beanie Babies, the second-hand toy market is booming - and Brits could be sitting on a treasure chest worth thousands of pounds, according to antiques expert Dan Hatfield. The Money-Making expert, who regularly appears on daytime TV to give his expert insights, estimates there's roughly £3,000 worth of unused items scattered around the average person's home - approximately £300 of which is in toys. 2 A cuddly Sergei the meerkat from the Compare the Market ads Credit: Michael Leckie/PinPep 2 .Toy expert Dan Hatfield with Sergei Credit: Michael Leckie/PinPep Advertisement He has revealed exactly what eagle-eyed sellers and buyers need to look out for to make the most of their unwanted toys and said: "We've seen a monumental resurgence in demand for plush toys. 'As a society, we're all about nostalgia, and these items really ignite that warm, fuzzy feeling associated with it. 'Being transported back to your childhood can equate to big money. Think 90s Beanie Babies and early TY releases. Jellycat originals that are rare or retired can often fetch several thousand pounds. 'Original Care Bears also regularly reach the several hundred mark. Condition and provenance are key and original tags can easily double a toy's value. Advertisement "Limited edition or store-exclusive plush toys, particularly those released in small numbers, are climbing fastest in value." Dan's tips on what to look out for mark the release of Compare the Market's new Sergei cricket toy, as part of their principal sponsorship of The Hundred. There are 1,000 of these toys available via an exclusive prize draw on Compare the Market's app. Limited runs, retired lines or viral TikTok trends can all have huge sway in determining whether your £10 toy could turn into £200 overnight, according to Dan. Advertisement He said: "In the resale world, plush toys might look soft but the market behind them can be razor sharp. It's not just about what's cute. It's about scarcity, nostalgia and timing. 'The smart reseller isn't just chasing trends; they're reading the psychology of collectors and striking when the demand's hot but the supply's cooling.' With new toys such as Labubu entering the market, Dan suggests brands with evergreen franchises like Pokémon, Disney or Star Wars are the safest bets. He added: 'Labubu is an exciting new player, but whether it stands the test of time will depend on how the brand evolves and what it offers in the coming years.' The best way to spot if your toys are hot or not is through monitoring social media, online forums and community chatter. Advertisement He said: 'If you see fans talking about long waiting lists, early sell-outs, or aftermarket price spikes, that's a strong sign to buy in before the boom. "The key is keeping your ear to the ground. You want to be a trendsetter, not a trend follower. 'Our homes can be an absolute treasure chest when it comes to the toys we've held onto. "It's estimated that Brits have more than £3,000 worth of unused or forgotten items in their homes and a significant amount of that is toy-related.' It comes as research of 2,000 adults found over three-quarters of Brits (76 per cent) have toys at home - with the average having 16 in their property. Advertisement Cuddly toys (72 per cent), building sets (59 per cent) and cards (49 per cent) are the top toys people have inside their four walls. In fact, almost a third (32 per cent) have sold a toy second-hand - with the average punter raking in £125.92 on their old items. And that's not all, as the most profitable second-hand item sold has earned people a cool £395.71. Dan added: 'Compare the Market is one of Britain's best-loved brands. "The meerkats have become part of our cultural fabric, with adverts adored across the country. When a brand connects that deeply, its merchandise often becomes collectible. Advertisement 'Just look at the Tetley Tea Folk or the PG Tips monkeys, which now sell for far more than they originally cost. 'This new meerkat plush is especially exciting because it celebrates Compare the Market's sponsorship of The Hundred and their exclusive giveaway of 1,000 toys on their app. "Limited-edition toys tied to major cultural, or sporting events often gain value over time. I'm expecting big things from this little guy.' Kristin Sonfield, director of brand and partnerships at Compare the Market, which commissioned the research, said: 'Our polling shows the second-hand market in Britain is booming. 'There are so many places people can sell their unwanted items to make themselves a few extra quid. Advertisement 'And with history which dates back more than 15 years, we know a thing or two about plush toys. 'Sergei looks like an absolute pro with his cricket pads and bat, so we know he will hit this for six. "He's the 20th Meerkat toy we've created at Compare the Market and we are looking forward to seeing fans around the country take part in the toy giveaway. 'To make sure you don't miss out on a chance to win the Sergei cricket toy, you'll need to enter the prize draw before it closes on September 5 2025.'

Third of Brits would end date over a condiment clash as Aldi releases innovative new sauce
Third of Brits would end date over a condiment clash as Aldi releases innovative new sauce The country is fiercely divided over sauce habits, with two-fifths (40%) saying sauce preferences reveal something about a person's personality. Seven in 10 enjoy mixing sauces Nearly a third of Brits admit they would end a date over a condiment clash, new research reveals. Exactly 32% made the culinary admission, with only half (54%) believing a relationship can survive differing sauce loyalties The country is fiercely divided over sauce habits, with two-fifths (40%) saying sauce preferences reveal something about a person's personality. According to research from Aldi, the nation is also home to a significant clique of enthusiastic sauce mixologists. Seven in ten enjoy mixing sauces, with ketchup and mayo the go-to pairing for 43%. Three in five (59%) go a step further, admitting to whipping up their own custom blends at home – with almost a quarter (24%) doing so 'regularly'. The Mighty Trio launches as new research reveals just how passionate – and opinionated - Brits are about their condiments (Image: PinPep) Article continues below In light of the research, this summer, Aldi is giving the nation the culinary contraption they never knew they needed: a limited-edition triple-sauce bottle that squeezes ketchup, mayo and mustard at the same time for one perfect, triple-hit mouthful. The three-in-one bottle, named The Mighty Trio, launches as new research reveals just how passionate – and opinionated - Brits are about their condiments. Unsurprisingly, almost three quarters (72%) of Brits would therefore be eager to try Aldi's new invention serving all three sauces at once. But not everyone's mixing it up. A quarter prefer to keep sauces separate. 15% say ketchup on pasta should be outlawed altogether – just one of the many 'sauce crimes' Brits have witnessed. Top culinary offences include drizzling sauce on ice cream (14%), a roast dinner (12%), fruit (11%) and even cereal (10%). But the judgement doesn't stop at what you pair your sauce with. Three in five Brits are dippers, and over two in five (45%) admit to secretly judging how others apply sauce – whether it's the technique, the quantity, or the 'on top' approach rather than dipping. Perhaps this explains why we don't trust others to sauce our food – with 72% saying they feel anxious when someone else does it for them. Almost one in three (32%) have even skipped asking for a sauce at a restaurant to avoid judgement, and 42% of Brits have confessed to packing their own bottles when travelling or dining out. But the ultimate dealbreaker this summer? 84% of Brits would consider walking out of a BBQ with no ketchup. For those prepping the perfect Bank Holiday gathering, Aldi's range of condiments, including Bramwells Tomato Ketchup (89p, 550g), Bramwells Squeezy Real Mayonnaise (95p, 500ml) and Bramwells American Style Mustard (99p, 290g), means no one will be left disappointed. Article continues below Aldi UK's Julie Ashfield said: 'It's clear Brits love their condiments, with a huge number of sauce mixologists whipping up their own concoctions at home. 'The Mighty Trio is Aldi's answer to the BBQ juggling act, giving you all three classic condiments in one easy squeeze. It's fun, practical and the ultimate hack for anyone who likes their burgers, hot dogs or chips with a little bit of everything!' To enter the competition to win a trio sauce bottle, shoppers should email mightytrio@ with their full name before 28th August 2025.

Mum horrified after finding ‘disturbing' hidden messages on daughter's dress
Mum Savannah has posted on TikTok how she discovered inappropriate comments with sexual innuendo in small print written on a dress which she had bought for her young daughter A mum has told how she was shocked to find her child's dress decorated with bunnies and jelly beans also had messages with sexual innuendo. Savannah posted on TikTok about her worrying discovery and has warned other parents to take care with her video now having received more than 23 million views. She shows the dress in the clip which looks perfectly innocent with the pink top showing three bunnies and then a white dress with more drawings but also some messages in very small print. And the mum said how she wondered what the messages where one day and that was when she made the shocking discovery. 'One day, when she was napping, I figured I'd take a peek and see what they actually said,' she told in the video. And then she continued, saying that one of the short comments read: 'Want to have an Easter egg hunt under the covers?' Another with sexually charged language read: 'This coupon entitles you to one free peep show!' And they went on in a similar tone with one stating: 'Let's pretend we're rabbits and do whatever comes naturally,' and another message read: 'My tulips (two lips) want to be on your tulips.' The 'weirdest,' according to Savannah, said: 'You've been the best husband and friend a girl could have ever asked for'. Many agreed that the comments were extremely disturbing. 'WTF,' one of the top responses read, reflecting the general sentiment in more than 20,000 comments. Others asked, 'Where did you get that?' as some described the dress as 'disturbing,' 'nasty,' and 'ew'.' 'The world is so perverted now,' said another. However, a few suggested it could have been simply an innocent mistake. One social media user wrote: 'Aww, maybe it was an accident & they accidentally wrote all that.' The dress was made by a US small business called Lele & Co. In response, the company took down the item and issued a statement on its website. It read: 'I would like to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate text found on one of the clothing items sold in my store. This particular piece was a resale item from a vendor, and regrettably, I did not catch the offensive wording before it was listed. 'Please rest assured that this does not align with the values I uphold or support. We are in the process of taking any and all necessary legal actions against the vendor. For the record, the item in question has been promptly removed from my website and all social media accounts. All remaining stock was destroyed immediately.'
