On Sheppey, 75-year-old pensioner Tim Bell was taking no prisoners. He went on parade near his home in Scrapsgate Road, Minster, in his own tank named T-75 and wearing a set of Second World War pilot's goggles.

The retired electrician had converted his mobility scooter into a fighting machine complete with its own Union Flag and sound system to blast out tunes from the 1940s to delighted neighbours, who waved flags as he drove past.

I like it when you see a shop that opened in 1999 that still has the word 'millennium' in its name

would eat a millennium kebab tbf

Passed by it many a time on the way home from the pub but never tried it... apparently it's quite good though.

am I imagining that on some football forums people still have 20 year plus old accounts with user names like YK2Troy or whatever

Jesus I want a kebab now.

a sentiment rarely far from my brain

I miss the Mexicano pizza in my local 4 hygiene star rated takeaway. I could still get a take-away from there i guess, but eating it in there with the knackered tv blaring some russian version of mtv and the fine vista of dewsbury bus station was a big part of the whole experience.

I’ve been making kofte kebabs at home (it’s my St George’s Day special).

Kebab 2000 is still going in Southend.

yes i was

Stoke Newington

Just went for a delightful walk around the neighbourhood. Lots of parties going on and lots of bunting. One particular party was properly going off: men of a particular colour, size and age dancing, arms around shoulders, to Madness. Blitz spirit, brothers.

I ate at millennium kebab. Ok, not as good as Chick Pizz across the road

XD

Chick Pizz is no more btw.

In my experience kebab shops with names that promise a big game rarely deliver.

big game isn't legal in the uk tho

Aww RIP Chick Pizz. I’ve not lived there for 3 or so years, I didn’t know

pretty sure I had a Millennium Kebab after lurching off a night bus in 2013

I saw a tiny aged football hooligan sat on my hedge seig-heiling earlier.

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/woman-beach-wales-thought-england-18306085

A woman who was stopped by police walking on a beach due to lockdown rules launched a tirade of abuse as she claimed she "didn't realise Wales wasn't in England" as she went on to call Welsh people a "bunch of b*******."

In a video posted on social media, the woman can be seen arguing with two officers on a Gwynedd beach on Wednesday, the hottest day of the year so far, reports the Daily Post.

The woman is understood to have travelled more than 100 miles from the West Midlands to Barmouth with her children, despite coronavirus lockdown rules.

But when two police officers asked her to leave, she did not appear to understand the Welsh lockdown rules, claiming she was within her rights to be there because “Boris Johnson said that you can”.

The proliferation of cruel anti-cow graffiti (as reported on brass eye) is now getting directed at swans, you hate to see it.

Watch to the very end.
