We’ve all ordered something online to realise it doesn’t quite live up to expectations.

But this is on another level.

Lucy Kearney, 18, placed an order on Pretty Little Thing for some summer outfits for her family holiday to Malaga, Spain. Among those outfits were a pair of plain white shorts.

But when those shorts turned up, they didn’t seem so plain. They were covered in rips, tearing across the crotch and bum area.

Lucy was confused, but thanks to all the extreme cut-out and ripped denim going around, briefly considered that the mauled by a bear look was intended to be trendy.

If you’re looking for a short break to the US, forget New York or Los Angeles. There’s too much to do and see, and they are sure to burn a hole in your pocket.

Cleveland, Ohio, on the other hand, is the perfect city if you fancy a quick getaway filled with food, culture, art and beer.

And the best part? Midwestern hospitality.

If you thought folks down south were nice then wait until you’ve made a visit to the Buckeye state (a nickname that comes from the number of Buckeye trees growing there).

We know that cuckolding is a popular fetish.

In the past we’ve told you all about the predilection for being humiliated by watching your partner having sex with someone else.

Cuckolding is even the second most popular porn search term on the internet (after ‘youth’).

But now there’s another sex craze, referred to as ‘stags and vixens’, which also involves watching your partner have sex with another person. Generally speaking that’s a female partner having sex with other men.

So how are they different?

Well in cuckolding, the person watching (voyer) is being humiliated. Often it’ll be a younger, more conventionally attractive or better endowed man who is… Read the full story

Dogs love to catch things.

Balls, frisbees, fleas – gotta catch ’em all.

Yesterday (3 June), lots of dogs and humans gathered together in Germany for a dog frisbee throwing competition.

The Disc Dog Challenge took place in Erftstadt and saw around 60 participants from seven different countries competing in the qualifying tournament to win a place in the world championships.

Each human throws up to seven frisbees, which their furry friend has to catch.

The following images are from the ‘freestyle’ round, which is set to music.

So. Much. Fun.

The majority of human beings don’t own a pool, but that doesn’t stop our obsession with pool floats.

There’s something about inflatables that bring so much joy to kids and adults alike.

There are so many different types to choose from, including ones you can lounge on and ones you can ride on.

This new buckin’ bronco float falls in the latter category and screams, “Fun”.

You may well have been to Turkey multiple times, yet never have heard of Gocek.

It’s not exactly a secret – it’s a popular sailing destination and is very much on the Turkish Riviera yacht route – but you won’t find Gocek in the average bucket-and-spade holiday brochure.

Nestled in a cove on Turkey’s Dalaman coast – aka the Turkish Riviera or the Turquoise Coast – its unique location offers a peaceful yet bustling harbour lined with yachts and fishing boats, a pleasant, buzzy little town and a protected… Read the full story

Emma Carey shared a powerful picture on her Instagram but you might just miss the point if you don’t look close enough.

In the bathroom mirror selfie, Emma is wearing a pair of wet denim shorts.

That’s because a spinal cord injury has left her with a bowel and bladder incontinence which means she can only hold about 100ml liquids before she wets herself.

In a skydiving accident when her parachute failed to open, Emma, from Queensland, Australia, fell 14,000ft from a helicopter and landed on her stomach, breaking her spine and shattering her pelvis.

Slowly, with a lot of hard work, Emma was able to walk again.

The plant-based dish is being cooked up at selected Greene King pubs which serve the Flaming Grill menu, which is pretty great news.

The ‘fish’ involved is VBites’ Making Waves fishless steaks, which are breadcrumbed fish bites made from things like what, konjac flour and tapioca starch.

We’ll admit, these ingredients don’t sound all that appealing by themselves, but together they make a winning combo, especially for vegans and veggies who have been missing their fish fingers.

Despite the reality that many of us don’t actually like an enormous penis, there’s still an idea that bigger = better. 

Which is why the realization that a condom is too big for you could be upsetting.

Unfortunately, if a condom is too big it won’t work properly, so you really do have to face up to it.

If a condom is too large then there’s a very good chance that it will slip off during sex, which means a chance of getting someone pregnant or spreading or catching an STI.

Also, a too-big condom is going to reduce your sensation and make sex less pleasurable.

So how do you tell if… Read the full story

Getting a great wedding photo is hard – and it can go horribly wrong.

Brooke Booth-Hunt, from Queanbeyan, Australia, learned that firsthand when she asked her husband and his groomsmen to hold her up in the air… and they dropped her with a thud.

After tying the knot with Edward Booth-Hunt, Brooke was keen to snap a fun photo lounging across the groomsmen’s arms.

It all went well until it was time for the bride to get down – at which point all the men let her go at the same time, tipping poor Brooke on to the floor.

Thankfully that moment was captured on camera, so Brooke and Edwards… Read the full story
