An expectant father has been forced to sell his beloved VW Golf on eBay in favour of a people carrier, after learning his wife Leanne is pregnant with twins.
Or, in his words: ‘I’m screwed’.
Thirty-four-year-old Andrew Love from Bolton is advertising his ‘one off’ replica Volkswagen Golf R400 on eBay after just three blissful months of ownership. And even if you’re not after a new car, the description/rant is well worth a read.
‘This stunning one off beauty took me a lot… Read the full story
M&S is now selling baby avocados (babycados if you will).
Because the only thing more Insta-ready than a ripe avocado is a teeny tiny ripe avocado.
And also because Marks reckon they’re perfect for portion control and snacking. Think avos-to-go.
The mini-Havas avocado, which is half the size of a regular avocado, is grown in orchards just outside Malaga, Spain. Sellers used to reject them for being too small.
There have already been Hello Kitty bongs, breast pumps and tampons.
But now there’s a Hello Kitty product we actually really want to own, because now our favourite cat/English school girl has teamed up O.P.I. and released a range of nail varnishes.
Yeah they’re on the expensive side costing £12.50 a pop.
And we find it a touch ironic that Hello Kitty is launching her own line of nail varnishes, without seeming to have any nails herself.
Thanks to the frustrating existence of things like rent and poorly paid jobs, most of us will have to face the horror of sharing a house or flat with other people at some point in our lives.
It can be a bit fun, when you’re living with friends who are always up for making you tea. But even then it doesn’t… Read the full story
There’s no-one more deserving of a nice, warm, relaxing bath than Rudy the rescued pitbull.
Rudy was found dumped in a plastic bucket in a near death condition, by S.N.A.R.R Animal Rescue Northeast. The animal rescue team were called by the New York city shelter and were asked to save Rudy.
Although the rescue team are unaware as to what caused the critical condition Rudy was found in, they were absolutely horrified by what they saw and find that memory of the then helpless Rudy ‘haunting’.
He was found severely emaciated, unable to walk and covered in deep gaping wounds across his entire body, leading all the way down to his tendons and bones.
He also had a horrible fracture in his front leg, a tear in his bladder and what they soon came to find was untreated Cushings disease – a condition which can cause obesity and a loss of hair.
Rudy was quickly moved to a medical foster home, and has been… Read the full story
What is bipolar? Well, sadly it’s not the start of a terrible cracker joke about a confused bear.
I mean it might be but this right here is a simple guide to bipolar disorder aka manic depression.

Forget balayage and ombré. This season highlights are coming from the top down in the form of ice cool tones.
Snowlighting or ‘snowflake lights’ is a method of dyeing the hair gives it the fresh look of a Scandi blonde.
The name comes from the way the highlights are spread – or sprinkled – around.
Finally, exams are over.
All you want to do is go out with your friends and down a much needed drink (or three).
But then it hits you.
First it’s just a sniffle. Then it’s an overwhelming tiredness that sends you to bed.
You’ve got sick after exam time. Again.
Which really isn’t fair after the gruelling nightmare of test papers you’ve just gone through.
So why IS it so usual for your body to just give up on you just as you get through your exams?
There’s no definitive answer. But here Anna Rothchild of Gross Science puts forward three theories as… Read the full story
If you’re feeling bad because you a) didn’t bother with dry January, b) you tried it and fell off the wagon on day 2, or c) you are having a very definitely wet January and need a shot of health, we can help.
A London bar is serving up cocktails made with matcha green tea, seaweed, aloe juice and wheatgrass to make you feel better about the fact you’re drinking vodka on a Wednesday (look, at least it isn’t Monday, okay?).
Let’s face it, the fact that they claim to contain anti-oxidants is enough to convince most of us… Read the full story
Important news for anyone who enjoys slides, extreme heights, and, um, cliffs.
Fránek Architects have just unveiled their latest creation: Sky Walk, a massive slide and walkway built on a steep cliff-face on the Králický Sněžník mountains.
The massive structure allows you to stroll along for a lovely view of the mountains, which sounds nice. Or, if you’ve lost your damn mind, you can go down the slide. It’s 330 feet long and fully enclosed.
There has always been the wonder of whether men prefer a bigger breasted women, or a women with a smaller chest. And it turns out, it all comes down to how much money they earn.
Two recent studies have finally shed some light on the question, raising some pointing out some surprising factors.
Psychologists Viren Swami and Martin Tovée conducted a study which investigated whether men’s access to resources would influence their preferences for breast size in women. They carried out two experiments in which they tested whether men who lack material goods would find larger breasts more desirable than men who do have material goods.
For the first experiment, they explored the relationship between financial security and men’s preferences in breast size. They recruited 266 men from three parts of Malaysia that varied in socioeconomic status – low, medium and high.
Each participant was shown give animated female figures, each varying in breast size. They then… Read the full story

Londoners get a bad rap but, in times of crisis, and sometimes when you need it most, your fellow city-dwellers can surprise you.
Pam Anderson had her purse stolen while she shopped on Oxford Street in the January sales. But, she says what happened next restored her faith in her fellow Londoner.
She recounts how five separate strangers both comforted her and went out of their way to help her get her purse back.
The mum-of-three from Chiswick, who runs her own PR consultancy, realised the purse had been swiped when she tried for pay… Read the full story
Okay, so you’re doing it. You’re working hard, and you’ve stuck to your New Year’s resolution for a good week.
You’ve hit the gym three times in the last week, and feel a little smug every time you stroll into the changing rooms. And then the actual workout begins. And it is hell, and you are weak and feeble, and you are filled with self-loathing.
But you’re not alone.
We’re all here with you – struggling to run for twenty minutes on a treadmill. Sneakily lowering the weight on the machines. Pretending your intense cardio session was ‘just a warm up’.
We all have our go-to Instagram poses. The ironic duckface. The ‘prune’. The sticky-out-tongue. The skinny arm.
It’s only when you scroll through all your tagged photos that you realise you look the same in every. damn. picture. Oops.
Worse than that? When you scroll through Instagram and realise everyone else is using those same poses too.
They’ve got the cool outfit in front of a colourful wall photo. And the artsy latte shot. And even your edgy battered converse on a fancy floor pic.
It looks like you’re not so original after all. The horror, oh the horror.
If you want to be reminded of just how clichéd and repetitive our social media presences have become, just watch this hypnotic video from Hiérophante.
Wait, so everyone’s doing those casual elevator poses?
We don’t even know who we are anymore.

If you’ve ever wondered how far you can go with those personalised Nutella labels, the answer, it seems, is pretty far.
Writer Seamas O’Reilly, who is originally from Derry, now living in Hackney, has spent the last few weeks gently persuading Selfridges to print sweary things on Nutella jars.
He had previously spent the past two years writing prank Rush Hour Crushes and Good Deed Feeds for Metro. But it was getting increasingly tricky to get into print (we’re on to you Seamas), so he decided to turn his attention elsewhere.
‘I got the idea from being bored in work and not having had any crushes/deeds published… Read the full story
Put down your crayons. Halt all mindful and animal-themed colouring activities.
There’s a new colouring book in town*, and it’s our everything, all we ever wanted. Guess whose it is? Guess whose it is? Guess whose it is? It’s ours. And yours, soon, probably.
*On the internet.
Sugio Books has just unveiled the Drake themed colouring book we’ve dreamed of, titled Under Star Projectors.
Just to be very clear, this is 100 per cent NSFW.
Because peens.
Soraya Doolbaz is an Iranian Canadian who lives in New York and she is a professional penis photographer.
She wants to bring a little artistry and humour to the humble d*ck pic.
‘My project is called Dicture Gallery and it’s exactly what it sounds like, d*ck pictures,’ she explains, adding: ‘In the spirit of humour and glorifying the whole d*ck pic phenomenon, I decided to treat the whole thing like a high fashion photo shoot by putting clothing on penises.’
Today, we’re pretty envious of Japanese women’s impeccable skincare and superb hair.
But let’s be real, Japan’s beauty game has always been on point.
Cut Video is back with a new addition to their ‘100 years of…’ series, this time focusing on beauty trends in Japan.
All the looks are gorgeous, from 1910 to 2010, and it’s interesting to see just how much the preferred aesthetic has changed in the course of a century.
