A banana peel, the torment of many a cartoon character, has allegedly become the real-life downfall of a woman in California.
Ida Valentine is suing the 99 Cents Only store where she slipped on one last April.

"She fell and landed on her backside," said Courtney Mikolaj of the Quirk Law Firm in Ventura, California, which is representing her.

Poor Ida!
We want to know about YOUR slapstick life!
What comical, cartoon incidents have you had in real-life?

Has an anvil dropped on your head?
Have you run into a painting of a tunnel on the side of a cliff face?
Have you ever bought anything from the ACME company?

Elvis Presley is to be declared an honorary citizen of Hungary's capital city Budapest, 34 years after he died. 

The King of Rock 'n' Roll is also going to have a major city landmark named after him. 
Congratulations, Elvis!

But can we think of any Yorkshire landmarks that could be transformed as tributes to the King of Rock n Roll?

The Return To Humber Bridge?
Heartbreak Hotel-land Road?
The Wonder of Ouse?
