They say everyone has a talent. Whether it's singing, playing the oboe or firing off free kicks on the football field.

But some talents are altogether weirder, as Holly Fairfax has discovered.

It took Holly many years to discover her unique, but now she's found it she wants to make the most of it.

So what is it? Well, her knees look just like Grant and Phil Mitchell from EastEnders - and she can even make them talk too!

Holly, 40, says she first noticed the uncanny likeness around seven years ago.

But it was only recently that she realised it was very unique and might even be something that others found entertaining.

A man has been spotted being questioned by police after walking a woman in a "dog gimp suit" on a leash along a busy Glasgow street.

Pictures posted online show two officers questioning the man along with the masked woman on Cathcart Road sometime between 11 and 11.30am this morning.

The moment was captured by roofer Iain Mcgeough, who has since gone viral after sharing it on Facebook.

He wrote: "Just witnessed a guy gettin pulled wae the cops for walking his burd on a leash with a dog gimp mask and everything on haha.

"Just another normal Monday morning in glesga eh haha".

“We need some help or something,” said Joshua Wright, a homeowner.

Purple paint signifies no trespassing as well.

“You ask them to leave and they just stand there and look at you,” said an anonymous neighbor.

what the fuck is happening in Arkansas!!!

I thought maybe someone let a child mess around with the CMS but Haylee Brooks is evidently an adult woman

pplains I'm seriously losing it here what am I looking at

I’m just trying to imagine how the story tip came in. “People, a group of people, come to our neighborhood at night.”

“I’m not sure that’s a story for us”
“Well, they have flashlights”
“Don’t move I’ll be there with the van”

I’m seriously totally at sea here

I'm wondering if the lights at night came from ... newscameras?

Not local to me now but a few miles from where I grew up. Everyone used to call this town STRANGE RANGE for a reason

Donald Trump, a South Ayrshire golf club owner, has lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden

Classic Scottish local newspaper journalism.

An Annapolis woman said she could have been killed had it not been for the infamous “penis house.”

Melissa Shanker wasn’t planning to go out on Dec. 12, but she left her home on a whim — just before it burned to the ground — to see the home in Cape St. Claire that went viral on social media.

“The penis lights kept her from harm,” said Mary Newman, Shanker’s friend. “It was a Christmas miracle.”

The Green Holly Drive house Shanker rented the basement for herself and her 6-year-old daughter was already collapsing by the time firefighters got to it at 10:37 p.m. Fifty-five firefighters from five departments assisted in extinguishing the flames. One suffered minor burns and was taken to John Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.

Shanker left earlier that night when a friend asked to go check out the phallic light display. When they couldn’t find it, the women went back to Shanker’s house and were just about to head inside when she said another friend called saying she knew where the house was and asked for a ride.

When they got to the home on Ramblewood, Shanker and her friends were disappointed to see the rooftop display was not lit and they decided to head back to her place. That’s when Shanker’s roommate called and told her he had just escaped the burning house.

The home was a total loss, Shanker said, with nothing salvageable.

Shanker said she would have been asleep with her daughter on a normal night, and fears they would have been injured or worse her daughter not been there that night.

“Had we not been out looking for the Cape Penis house who knows what kinds of injuries myself and friends could have sustained,” Shanker said.

“Now, knowing that it could have saved our lives I’m more determined than ever to see the penis house relit.”

Capt. Russ Davies, spokesperson for the Anne Arundel County Fire Department, didn’t want to speculate about what could have happened had Shanker been home.

Investigators suspect the cause was an unattended wood fire or fireplace started on the back porch. Shanker and her friends may have found it earlier had they been home, Davies said, but all he knows now is she’s safe.

“It was a serious, fast-moving fire,” Davies said. “They certainly would have been in danger. By not being in the house, at all that definitely removes the risk.”

Heh. Just came here to post that. For context:

i've already shared this with 5 people, thanking u

miracle on 69 street

the funny thing, to me, is that as capt. russ davies implied, had they been home they might have been able to extinguish the fire. so the penis house may be to blame for her house burning down.

Giant snake discovered in Greenock street dies

Police said they had no information about pictures of a different dead snake, said to have been found near the town, which have been circulating on social media.

You can't expect the authorities to keep up with everything.

is this the kind of town that you can become the mayor of by virtue of rolling into town with new rumors of a THIRD dead snake?

i saw it, clear as day, also near town, just like the other. it was dead

Nah, its probably more of a Shelbyville dead snake anyway

lol deems

local FB traffic has gone as high as 14 snakes in various parts of town and in varying health

it's like when there's a mass shooting and it takes 2 hours to determine that it's almost always just the one lone wolf/snake

I also saw at least one Sam L Jackson meme in passing

As if people need any more reasons to avoid Greenock.

xp black snake mon

Here's why it's important to support local news.

300-500 hectares of moorland are on fire near Antwerp after a shooting exercise by Belgian army whose only fire truck on the domain isn't available because it's being repaired (plus, the only two people who were licensed to operate it have retired five years ago)

oh, and another "god fucking dammit, what kind of backward hole country is this?" moment: while the whole Belgian population is on continued lockdown/unable to travel we have just casually let 43 Indian medical students travel here. From a country with its own Covid variant that's wreaking havoc there.
