Byzantine repêchage

@LostWillRobin @warsurv ...with a jar of Ukrainian pickles.

@warsurv It's worse than you think. The pilots and special forces were there to secure some lamb kebabs because they heard they're so good in Iran. It went pear shaped when they complained to the kebab shop owner that the meat was a little tough. Owner downed plane just after it took off

The "downed pilot" story was a fabricated cover for a failed US special forces operation to seize Iran's primary stockpile of highly enriched uranium (roughly 60% purity, estimated at 440–970 pounds). The main stockpile was located at Isfahan—the precise site where the pilot was officially reported "lost." This explains the heavy US bombing of the area under the guise of a search-and-rescue effort, and why the C-130s were destroyed on the ground with no American loss of life. The aircraft were hit while special operations forces attempted to secure the material. The mission quickly turned into a major emergency extraction to rescue the trapped troops.

@WAWPickle @WelshDragon2360 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON When it was London. I've lived here 61 years, never when it was Essex though.

@WelshDragon2360 @MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON I’m not gonna bother arguing 😂. I only lived there for 34 years haha. London keeps expanding. They greedy.

🚨 Ilford, London. CCTV captures two foreigners in neighbour dispute one got sentenced with ‘racial abuse’ What started as a disagreement over a shared driveway in Clayhall quickly escalated. Faizal Nobeebox launched into a ‘racist tirade’ at his neighbour, all caught on CCTV. He was later arrested and appeared in court, where he received a community order.

@WelshDragon2360 @WAWPickle @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON I must admit, I'm arguing the case against the Borough being in Essex because it has not been since I first lived here-yet still use it in my own address. I was just as bloody minded when I lived in Kelso, Roxburghshire.

@WAWPickle @MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON I haven't got a clue, just amused. 🤣

@WAWPickle @WelshDragon2360 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON London also has postcodes with the RM, EN, DA and BR prefixes. If Redbridge is not part of London but is in Essex, explain the existence of E18. 🤔 All officially addressed letters removed Essex as the County 60 years ago and look like this one...

@WelshDragon2360 @MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON London has postcodes that start with N, E, W or S. Ilford starts with IG, for ilford and Gants Hill. Granted the tube runs there but then again it also runs to Rainham, again Essex. Now East Ham just down the road is a legitimate London Town. Its postcode begins with E. 😀

@Al_Faris11 @TheNorfolkLion Every house had a garage and a shared driveway. Those 2 houses still do.

@MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion It is a service lane; cars cannot pass through it.

@Al_Faris11 @TheNorfolkLion Cars have been passing through since it was built in 1932. I can categorically state it is a shared driveway to access the garages you can plainly see in the photograph. I live around the corner.

@Al_Faris11 @TheNorfolkLion No, for vehicular access to the garages at the rear you see in the photo We are also aware of "wooden walls" commonly referred to as "fences". You also can't build a fence down the middle of that shared drive.

@MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion So it's designated for walking, and the barrier the neighbor put up doesn't affect its use. In America, Canada, and Australia, they use wooden walls to separate properties.

@WAWPickle @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON You may have used Essex in your address when giving it, that was your choice. You did not however live in the County of Essex. Ilford has been part of a London Borough since 1965.

@MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON Well my address said Essex until 2007.

@WAWPickle @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON Essex untill 1965. Received it's own postcode in 1967. My parents' and grandparents' generation hung on to the Essex thing as it was part of their address since 1932 when Clayhall estate was mainly built.

@MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON Yes postcode did start ig. For over 30 years. And before the postcode the last thing in our address was this word “Essex”

@WAWPickle @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON Post code would have started IG Local sorting office for Ilford, London Borough of Redbridge.

@MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON Well my postcode was lying to me then. And my postal address. It was only 2007 when I left.

@wokenotagit @UB1UB2 Read the Court report. Offender now lives in Woolwich. You could take a 462 bus past it to look for yourself, 80/82 Longwood Gardens. Road currently closed for water main repairs though.

@MSKX64 @UB1UB2

CCTV captured the shocking moment a parking dispute over a shared driveway in London escalated out of control. 56-year-old Faizal Nobeebox was filmed violently smashing up his neighbour’s parking bollards with a hammer while hurling racially aggravated abuse and making threats to the victim’s family. Nobeebox pleaded guilty to criminal damage and racially aggravated disorderly behaviour. He was handed a £367 fine and ordered to pay £400 in compensation at Romford Magistrates’ Court. Do you think the courts got this right, or is this a slap on the wrist? Have your say below

@WAWPickle @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON Not been Essex for 60 years. It's in the London Borough of Redbridge. Ilford - Wikipedia share.google/hoiZzmdmoE7RKQ…

@MSKX64 @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON I lived there. It’s Essex.

@Voiceofcarnage @UB1UB2 Mauritian.

@UB1UB2 There's a switch in Pakistanis. Feel sorry for that man living there

@Who_Am_I_People @UB1UB2 Shared drive to garages at rear. Pavers laid by the previous owner in herringbone pattern.

@UB1UB2 WTAF is his problem?? It’s not on his side!!! He should have been sent to jail but seeing as the prisons are full should have quadrupled his fine! I feel for the homeowner living Nextdoor to this crazy fool

@RootActivated @TheNorfolkLion Not from Pakistan though....

@WAWPickle @TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON London Borough of Redbridge. Longwood Gardens opposite Clayhall Park.

@TheNorfolkLion @MOXYDON It’s actually ilford Essex

@Al_Faris11 @TheNorfolkLion Shared drive.

@TheNorfolkLion What did that idiot want?! The neighbor has absolute freedom to do as he pleases with his property.

@AnilxVerma @TheNorfolkLion Which Muslim fella? Given where he was born, chap with the hammer and the anger management issue more than 4 times more likely to follow other faiths...

@Kanius67 @hazrdoz @TheNorfolkLion He was arrested and appeared in Court. He doesn't live there anymore.

@hazrdoz @Kanius67 @TheNorfolkLion Shared driveway like every other house on this road leading to garages in back. LB Redbridge are not going to approve another dropped kerb. I'd be just as upset with someone trying to block access, just not as explosive as him.

@Kanius67 @TheNorfolkLion The victims parking space is worthless if he can’t park there because the other guy wants to swing around in to his. Knock the wall down.
