Men – do you secretly prefer wine to beer?

Have you quaffed lager with the lads when all you really wanted was a nice pinot or (whisper it) Sauvignon blanc?

Well thankfully Mancan wine is here to let you drink wine without having to go to your usual trouble of cowering indoors behind the sofa with all the lights out.

Because, that’s right, this is wine for men.

Real men. Who drink from cans. Mancans.

On the can it says the product was ‘thought up by a guy who lives in an old firehouse, walks to work with his dog, has two bikes and a trike, and wanted to move beyond stemware.

‘At Mancan we believe wine… Read the full story

As part of a major shake-up to the city centre’s road system, Manchester’s Princess Street is now open to two-way traffic.

Which, we admit, isn’t the most exciting news in the world, even if you live in Manchester.

But, to publicise the change to the street, which joins Canal Street, and is at the centre of the city’s LGBT nightlife, Transport for Greater Manchester have come up with a brilliant poster campaign.

One of their signs was shared by BBC Radio 5’s Adrian Bradley and the people of Twitter are loving it.

We don’t mean to shout but WHY HAS NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE?

Introducing the world’s first mince pie and custard pasty.

Because what every mince pie needs is a little pool of custard to help wash it down with.

And, don’t worry, this isn’t some half-baked abomination created by your local supermarket – this comes from Warrens Bakery in Cornwall, the oldest Cornish pasty producer in the world.

So they should know what they’re doing.

The festive pasty went on sale last weekend at their 50 stores across Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.

Proof that there are still lovely people in the world who would literally give you the clothes off their back. Or the shoes off their feet.

New Yorker Kay Brown was travelling on the subway during rush hour last week when a homeless and mentally handicapped woman got on, wearing nothing on her feet.

So, Kay took off the shoes she was wearing and gave them to the woman.

She then stood on the train in her mismatched socks for 15 minutes before a gentleman offered her his extra pair of thick socks to wear… Read the full story

This might even persuade us to start exercising.

Because someone’s finally designed workout gear that fully incorporates your phone.

Meaning you don’t have to bother with one of those armbands or a belt, where it ends up flapping about while you run/do Zumba on the Wii/collapse on the floor heaving.

Lume Lifestyle has created smart leggings that have a special pocket for your smartphone. It has a touch mesh which means you can also text/change a song without having to remove the phone from the pocket.

Who knew that you needed a word for ‘the weight you gain from being comfortable in a relationship’? Or a ‘chair farter’?

Did you forget to buy your significant other a chocolate bar from the garage last night?

Or maybe you forgot about their birthday? A drachenfutter (it translates as ‘dragonfeed’, people!) is the gift you buy them once you are well and truly in the dog house.

I know right, there are some of us that actually don’t enjoy getting dolled up to the nines. Some of us who actually enjoy a flat shoe and spending nights out that don’t involve any kind of bodycon or support underwear.

Let’s, however, get one thing straight. Just because we don’t like getting ‘dressed up’, doesn’t mean we can’t dress well. We just more often than not don’t want to fall over in heels.

There’s also a few other things we can all relate to. Things such as.

In all the fuss over a cat burning the turkey and an old man being jettisoned to the moon by John Lewis, you could be forgiven for missing the cutest Christmas star of all: this lonely little horse.

While it’s not strictly speaking a Christmas ad, the new Amazon Prime offering aired last week and it’s definitely been tugging at Twitter’s heartstrings.

The ad by Joint London stars a very little horse who struggles to make friends with the bigger boys in the field.

Despite the little horse’s best efforts, he is rejected by the snooty bigger ponies.

Thinking of buying some Christmas slippers?

Put those singing Santas down.

Costa is giving away festive slippers to match their Christmas cups.

You can get Santa Claus, penguin, snowman, elf or robin slippers at Costa’s busiest cafes across the country.

Why? Well mostly why not.

But also because the chain has done a study revealing that your feet will be knackered from Christmas shopping soon.

Apparently, 88 per cent of us walk up to five miles in one Christmas shopping trip, while 90 spend up to five hours searching for the perfect gifts.

A woman who was asked by a Tinder date to refund the £3.50 he’d spent on her coffee, has received a very generous gift ‘on behalf of decent men everywhere’.

Three sisters have found a way to fund their expensive tastes – simply by taking selfies.

The practice of getting men to splash their cash while keeping sex off the table is called ‘rinsing’ and the Brooks sisters are absolute pros.

To date, they estimate they’ve received £75,000 worth of designer goodies, flowers, makeup and even iPads.

It all started in 2010 when Lucy Brooks was sent a bottle of Marc Jacobs perfume by a complete stranger when she shared a selfie on Twitter.

She told the Mirror: ‘More men asked if they could treat me. Some asked if I had a wishlist on Amazon.… Read the full story

You might have seen that people are now painting the roots of their hair with glitter, but we’ve found a Christmas look to trump that.

A beard full of glitter is now the ultimate festive statement.

Men (and even some women) are getting into the Yuletide swing of things by decorating their facial hair/chins with a glittery sparkle.

There is one problem: we can’t help thinking how unpractical this look is.

Glitter is the bane of the craft world, creeping into every crevice, still lingering 20 showers later.

No, we’re not kidding.

It seems the Sainbury’s ad was so successful, everyone wants a Mog the Forgetful Cat toy this Christmas.

But unfortunately, if you haven’t already bought your cute Moggy toy, you may be out of luck – unless you’re willing to pay the price, that is.

And it’s a pretty hefty one too, with the cuddly kitty now selling for up to £100 on eBay and Amazon – ten times the original Sainsbury’s price.

Being a mum can be a strange concept at times. 

You spend the first few years nurturing this tiny, vulnerable creature which relies completely on you. You then spend the next stages of their life training them up to be independent humans and teaching them right from wrong.

After the next phase of doing battle with them constantly for their own good which inevitably results in those grey hairs you’re now finding, your next job is to literally get them out of the house on their own two feet.

Despite saying goodbye being the last thing you… Read the full story

The first rule of this fight club is don’t bring men to fight club.

Welcome to East Berlin’s all-female fight club.

The club was set up back in 2010 by female fighters Anna Konda and Red Devil as a place for women to flex their muscles.

There are no official guidelines, no standard categories and no one particular fighting style.

It’s a place where women meet as equals, whether they’re a 250 pound wrestler or a karate beginner.

It’s not every day you see a blue Staffordshire bull terrier with almost 100,000 Instagram followers. 

Especially not one as cute as this.

Jason Ashley, owner of canine celeb Ramsey, created the Instagram account to ‘show the true nature of the breed.’

He told Metro.co.uk: ‘I really wanted to show and teach the true nature and real sides of the breed. The reaction has been overwhelming and people from all over the world have such love for him.’

The account should reach the big 100k followers by the end of this week.

It features pictures of Ramsey doing day to day things like going for a walk, drinking a cup of tea,… Read the full story
