Watch a seagull swipe an Asda sandwich in viral video
Brea Walker had nipped into the Llandudno Junction store in Conwy County Borough, Wales, with her partner Grant Williams, 29, to grab a bag of crisps on Wednesday evening (July 2). But as they scoured the store for their snacks they were stopped in their tracks when they spotted a lone seagull marching to the meal deal section and nick a sandwich. Hilarious footage filmed by the 29-year-old shows the seagull making his selection, believed to be a chicken filling, from the bottom shelf before shamelessly waltzing off with his dinner. The tickled content creator followed the feathered thief outside and spotted him pecking at the packaging, sharing the incident on TikTok where it racked up more than 322,000 views. Brea, from Kilmarnock, Scotland, said: "There's a burger place just across the road. We had 15 minutes to wait until our takeaway was ready so we popped into Asda to get some crisps. "The two of us just pulled our phones out and recorded it at the same time. (Image: Kennedy News & Media) "He [the seagull] walked in and went straight for it. It was as if he knew exactly where he was going. "I've seen them do some ruthless stuff, which is why we kept our phones out. "I'm from near Glasgow so the seagulls where I live are not like this. They're absolutely menaces down here and are not scared of anything. They're so evolved from the normal bird and don't care. "It just waltzed in, took itself a sandwich and opened it up. I think a bit of a fight kicked off after that between him and 10 seagulls." Since Brea shared the clip online it has been viewed by more than 100,000 people and users were quick to share their own seagull encounters in the comments. Recommended reading: One user said: "Looks like it's a daily thing. He knows what he or she is doing." Another wrote: "He practised this. Knows what he likes…didn't even have to stand for five minutes deliberating between a cheese and ham, or a big brekkie." A third commented: "He forgot his drink and snack." A fourth said: "Mate you forgot the rest of your meal deal."

Brit left with serious burns after sunbathing with jewellery
A British man has warned never to sunbathe with jewellery on after suffering second-degree burns when his necklace turned the sun's rays into a 'laser beam' that scorched his neck. Ben Parsons was on holiday with his family in the South of France when he fell asleep on a beach for six hours after applying just one layer of factor 30 suncream. The 27-year-old says he woke up several times throughout the mammoth nap but didn't realise how strong the sun was because the wind was keeping him cool. Readers vote Does suncream expire? Yes No I don't know Vote now It was only when he left the beach to return to his family's villa that he realised he was 'in trouble' as his whole body was covered in a painful, bright red burn. British man's holiday 'ruined' by jewellery sunburn The worst of the burns were from where the gold necklace he was wearing had 'reflected the sun like a laser beam'. (Image: Kennedy News & Media) The worst of the burns were from where the gold necklace he was wearing had 'reflected the sun like a laser beam' - causing pus-filled blisters to erupt from his chin down to the base of his neck. Ben was left bedbound for five days due to the severity of the burns, which were so painful that he says it felt like his skin was ripping or stretching every time he moved. He says the ordeal 'ruined' his holiday as he was unable to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. The sales executive is now warning sunseekers to regularly apply SPF and take their jewellery off when sunbathing. Ben said: "I was lying down and the necklace was on my chest, pointing up at my neck. "It was like the necklace had reflected and magnified the sun into a laser beam and it's been sizzling there."Once I got up from the beach, I was in pain and that was when I realised I'd definitely [been] burnt."But then once I got back to my house, which was another hour from the beach, that's when I realised that I was in a bit of trouble."It got progressively worse for the next two days to the point where I was bedbound."I couldn't move without being in pain because I was so burned that every time I moved, it felt as if my skin was ripping or stretching."I didn't leave my bed for the next four or five days because I was in such excruciating pain. "I didn't end up going back to the beach for the rest of the holiday and I had to stay laying down in bed."It definitely ruined my holiday because I didn't get to see sunlight again for the next week and a half, and then even getting up for dinner and lunches was painful."Even having my eyelids open hurt."Luckily, a family member on holiday with them was a nurse, so they got a cream to treat the burns, and wrapped bandages around his neck to protect his scorched skin. Recommended Reading Now, Ben is encouraging other people to apply SPF and take their jewellery off when sunbathing to avoid the same fate. Ben said: "I would definitely say always be extra careful when wearing jewellery because whether it's real gold or not, it can potentially reflect off onto you. "I definitely recommend taking all jewellery off so this sort of thing doesn't happen. "Also, apply suncream regularly so you don't end up ruining your holiday and all of the money you spent to get there."

My giant baby is 23 pounds — other parents accuse me of abuse but I know my child is healthy
Internet trolls couldn't weight to bash the mother of this newborn hunk of chunk. Like vultures to a carcass, social media savages are swarming mom Maci Mugele, accusing the 21-year-old of abusing her bouncing baby boy, Gunner, who weighs a hefty 22.5 pounds at just four-months-old. 'OMG poor baby,' 'Can babies get diabetes?,' 'This should be child abuse,' and mean-spirited mentions of 'Ozempic.' They're only a few of the nasty swipes being taken at Mugele, from Oklahoma, beneath a controversial clip of her chubby bundle of joy. Advertisement 6 Mugele was shocked to find that vicious social media users were making fun of her baby's weight and labeling her a child abuser. Kennedy News & Media 'When you have a 100th percentile, off-the-charts 4-month-old,' Mugele wrote in the closed-captions of her bulky baby reveal, which has garnered nearly 20 million TikTok views. '22.5 pounds of pure muscle,' she joked in the caption, while holding up her not-so-little one with both arms for the camera. Advertisement Her tubby tot, born on February 19, is also in the 90th percentile for his height, stretching to over two feet tall, and wearing clothes made to fit toddlers. But the Gen Z mommy isn't as shocked by her infant's eye-widening size as she is by the cruel comments being made at his expense. 6 The 21-year-old was proud to show off her chunky tot online, believing social media users would find his heft cute. Kennedy News & Media 'I thought that people would think it was cute if they saw it, but I didn't realize how horrible people can be,' a crestfallen Mugele told Kennedy News of her viral vid. Advertisement 'It made me upset to realize that there are people like that in this world who feel so comfortable saying these things about a baby.' The beleaguered brunette feels just as slighted for being mischaracterized as a child abuser. 'I don't know how it's cruel or abusive that I feed him whenever he's hungry,' she moaned, adding that Gunner has always been in a weight class by himself — even in utero. 6 Mugele paid extra to get an idea of how big her fetus had grown before reaching full term. Kennedy News & Media Advertisement 'He always measured a week or two ahead [when I was pregnant],' she explained. 'I could just tell that he was pretty big, and everybody already told me that my stomach was bigger than average.' But, like any curious mommy-to-be, Mugele was anxious to learn just how extraordinarily huge her bun in the oven was growing. 'You only have two scans throughout your pregnancy,' she said, 'so I went to an ultrasound place and paid for an ultrasound to be done to see how big he was.' 'They told me that he was measuring quite large for how far along I was,' recalled the Zoomer. 'I think I was like 34 weeks when he was measuring at 6 [pounds] and 3-ounces.' 6 Throughout her pregnancy, Mugele was told that her baby was growing at a fairly rapid rate. Kennedy News & Media 6 Gunner was born in late February 2025, weighed just over 8 pounds, and measured at 19.5 inches. Kennedy News & Media Surprisingly, at birth, Gunner tipped the scales at 8 pounds, one ounce, which slightly exceeds the average baby's birthweight of 7 pounds, 6 ounces. He measured at a standard of 19.5 inches. But the tike, who Mugele says 'eats more than the average baby,' has certainly shot since his birthday. Advertisement And neither she nor Gunner's physicians are concerned about the cutie's chunky patootie. 'The doctors said that he's healthy, but sometimes people just have big babies,' Mugele assured. 'He's big for his height as well, so I think that contributes to him being bigger.' 'Ever since the second day in the hospital, he has eaten more than the average baby,' she continued. 'Doctors always told me he was eating a little bit more than the normal baby, which is fine, they said.' 6 Mugele says Gunner is healthy and happy, despite concerns about his well-being. Kennedy News & Media Advertisement Thankfully, a handful of warmhearted folks online — including the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers — agree that Gunner's healthy appetite is one of his finer qualities. 'Calling dibs,' teased the verified TikTok account for the major league football team, joking it wants Gunner on the gridiron. 'OMG, that's a big, healthy baby,' a separate fan fawned. Advertisement 'Oh, I love me a chunky baby!!!!!,' another exclaimed. 'He's the cutest,' raved an admirer. And Mugele, who's now in the ranks of mama bears who breed giant cubs, is equally in awe of her cushiony kiddo. 'Like the doctor said,' she reiterated to Kennedy, 'he's perfectly healthy and has no problem with his weight.'
