Looks like it's from 2013, when Star Wars fans outraged a few locals by joining a military parade

When members of the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force paraded through the streets of Shepton Mallet in Somerset, the film fans decided to join in.
The group - including a Darth Vader, several Imperial Stormtroopers and Scout Troopers, a TIE Fighter pilot and a handful of Jedis - marched directly behind the army band.

But local resident Nick Tolson, a former Air Cadet, accused the group of "thinking they were more important than the army". He wrote on Facebook: "I was annoyed at the disrespect shown to our services by the 'Star Wars' actors who decided that they were more important than the army and the air force and marched directly behind the army band in the parade from the Market Place to the Park.

"Great Britain respects its forces by having a strict order of protocol on parades. The Navy are the senior service, followed by the Army followed by the Air Force. It does not mention Star Wars characters."

Star Wars fans accused of 'disrespecting' Army by joining in parade

A spat described as a 'Stormtrooper in a teacup' has erupted after Star Wars enthusiasts dressed as Darth Vader were accused of "disrespecting" the Army - by joining in a town centre military parade.

I used to go caddying on that golf course when I was about 12-13 years old. Back then, you got 50p for traipsing around 18 holes with some posh twat's heavy golf bag. Still, 50p got me into Old Trafford back then

Did you ever get to meet an otter? And/or a deer?

 

[Serge Forward]

Nope. Our dog used to roam around and shit on the golf course.

Mum and son who launched 'pillow with hole' with £50 make £500k a year​

The pair say they are are changing lives and even “saving marriages" with their unique design

Spoiler

What were you thinking?! It's for sore ears!

Tim Leigh, 39, and his mother Judy Leigh, 63, launched The Original Pillow with a Hole – a unique pillow designed to eliminate ear pain by reducing friction and pressure – approximately a decade ago.

The idea came from Judy who had suffered from chronic ear pain since the age of nine and used makeshift solutions to sleep comfortably, such as resting with her ears between a teddy bear’s legs. One night, in sheer frustration, she “tore a hole straight through a pillow” and “plonked” her ear into it – and after sleeping through the night, this is how The Original Pillow with a Hole was born.
