Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf became household names in Ireland even before they were born. News of them being conjoined spread quickly after their mother, Angie Benhaffaf, underwent a scheduled 20-week scan. Reports showed that the two were joined from chest to pelvis with one leg each.

Their mother told the Irish Examiner that she spent the night with the twins, too scared to sleep, as she and her family were scared they would never see the boys again. However, things turned out well after a team of surgeons at a London hospital spent 14 hours successfully separating the twins when they were four months old.

In 2020, the brothers celebrated their 10-year separation anniversary. RTÉ News did an insightful documentary on their journey.

Trouble-causing peacock compared to Conor McGregor by local resident

While 'The Notorious' can be generous and wholesome in some of his interactions, he is quite obviously known for his more aggressive persona.

According to a recent Mirror report, a peacock wreaking havoc in an East Yorkshire village named Seaton has been compared to McGregor by one of the local citizens. The male bird named Pete has reportedly been on a violent streak for six years, head-butting cars, breaking into homes and defecating everywhere.

Andi Ramsden, a dad-of-three, has compared the peacock's actions to that of the Irishman, per the report:

"It's been in the village for six years harassing people. It sees its reflection and starts head-butting itself, it jumps at its reflection with its feet, it wakes my kids up, it's constantly squawking at midnight, it's just an absolute menace... It's like Conor McGregor. It cries out at all times of the day, waking people. I go to work at 4.30am and its doing it then."

After it was suspected that Pete was in heat and desperate for a mate, he was moved to a nearby farm and paired up with peahen Philomena. However, Pete's attacks on the properties of the unsuspecting residents of Seaton continued.
