Please, please, please never let Morrissey write another sex scene.

If you haven’t heard already, The Smiths’ former frontman has been shortlisted for Literary Review’s Bad Sex in Fiction award.

Because an erection should never be described as a ‘bulbous salutation’.

However, Morrissey hasn’t won it just yet – there’s another seven contenders in line for the dubious honour.

Each bringing their own special brand of cringeworthiness to the table.

We warn you: reading these passages is almost as bad as inadvertently watching a sex scene on telly with your parents.

Read on at your peril.

Sharing things with another person just doesn’t sound necessary.

Surely it’s so much easier to dedicate all of that positive energy you know you’re capable to your one true love? Yourself.

Here are 13 signs you’re in a happy relationship with yourself.

1. The idea of share food freaks you out. Having to order your usual meal for two and actually having to share it with another person? Allow them to half your pizza? How do people do that?

2. And so do cute nights in. Watching your favourite American Horror Show series with another person just sounds like allowing the possibility of somebody to talk over all of the best bits.

3. You take care of your mental health. If you feel down, you do something about it. You don’t allow people to let you feel weak.

4. You prioritise your goals and don’t think about the ‘what ifs’. You know what… Read the full story

It’s natural that brands want to take advantage of the Christmas time hype.

Sometimes that’s just the best.

Remember those pigs in blankets Pringles? They were great.

But sometimes they get it wrong. Horribly wrong. Like those Tesco chocolate and cherry sandwiches. Just complete Christmas abominations.

Here are eight other Christmas-themed foods that were just the worst ever.

1) Christmas dinner pizza

For some reason, this is actually quite a popular seasonal food. So much so that Papa Johns brought it back by popular demand last year.

But can you imagine anything worse? We love pizza any time of the year, but that doesn’t mean we want our turkey with… Read the full story

No need to panic about the gender pay gap, everyone: We’ll have equal pay in 118 years

Good news, rational people who believe that men and women should earn equally: the gender pay gap will soon come to an end.

Only catch is, we probably won’t be around to enjoy that magical day. Because according to the World Economic forum, women will finally have equal pay in 118 years time. Oh.

The WEF explain that the increase in women’s salaries is lagging decades behind the increase for men, with women currently earning the average men made back in 2006.

At this rate, we won’t have equal pay until 2133.

Alexa Goolsby came up with the perfect way to announce to her parents she was pregnant – with a family game of ‘Whisper Challenge’.

Jimmy Fallon often plays the game with guests on the Tonight Show and it involves people trying to guess what another person is saying while wearing noise-cancelling headphones.

Alexa, helped by partner Drew, decided to use the game to surprise parents Robert and Sharla Anderson with the news they are going to be grandparents for the first time.

And after she shared the video of their reaction, granddad’s enthusiasm for the game – and his excitement when he finally realises what’s happening – is winning the internet’s heart.

Haircuts can be a wonderful experience, filled with relaxing head massages, feeling all luxurious, and tossing your perfectly blow dried hair like a majestic unicorn on your way out.

But they can also be awful.

Because they’re inherently awkward and uncomfortable, and until you find your one true hairdressing soulmate, your haircuts will always be overwhelming disappointments.

No matter how great your hair looks in the end, there will always be parts that make having your hair cut the WORST.

1. It’s never the right time

If you’re a woman, you’ve probably experienced it at least once. You’re walking around in public when a man starts to yell at you. You ignore him, he gets angry, and starts yelling more.

No one does anything, and you’re left embarrassed and scared as you keep your head down and try to avoid eye contact.

Musician Julia Price expected another repetition of the same scenario. But this time, someone took a stand.

Cosy af.

If, like us, you’re a tad hungover today (well, it’s Friday), this adorable puppy will take you to your happy place.

The English Bulldog pup was captured having a totally delicious nap snuggled up with his favourite stuffed pig toy, and from his little twitching foot to his snuffly snores, the video is off the scale cute.

In fact, we reckon it really should be illegal to be THIS CUTE; our tired cynical minds just can’t cope with it.

Toronto couple Samantha Jackson and Farzin Yousefian had planned a big traditional wedding for May 2016.

The venue was booked, the guest list of 130 drawn up and the caterers were already working out the menu.

But, their involvement with the Ryerson University Lifeline Syria Challenge, which raises money to help refugees settle in Canada, and then the heartbreaking photo of drowned Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach, prompted a change of heart.

They decided to cancel the big wedding and use the opportunity to fundraise instead.

If there’s one issue that defines our time, it’s this one: how the heck to correctly eat a burrito.

One man named Danny Ready says we’re all doing it wrong. And he has a big problem with it.

So he’s made a video instructing everyone, once and for all, how to successfully eat a burrito without spilling the insides everywhere.

He says: ‘This was spawned because some jackhole at the burrito place was trying to tell me that he always gets chips and layers them across the bottom of his plate when he eats a burrito, because when all the burrito’s guts fall out he wants nachos.’

You can now get tomato ketchup in handy squares, and it’s blowing people’s minds.

‘Ketchup leather’ was invented by Ernesto Uchimura, chef at LA restaurant Plan Check.

He invented the square of hard ketchup, which melts upon contact with a hot juicy burger, because he was fed up of too much sauce making his buns soggy.

We never even knew soggy burger buns were an issue but maybe that’s because we don’t leave them sitting long enough to notice.

Airlines of the world, watch and learn.

When five Delta Airlines planes were diverted due to bad weather, the quick thinking staff took immediate action; they got on the phone and ordered some pizzas.

Unsurprisingly the impromptu pizza parties went down a storm, and soon no one cared about being grounded due to a nearby tornado.

A Delta Airline spokesman explained: ‘Teams in places like Columbia, South Carolina, ordered pizza for customers as they waited for air traffic control clearance to get to Atlanta.

‘This is something we like to do as a customer service measure when we have diverted flights.’
