This boy attempted to entertain the internet by adding a shortcut to his dad’s phone for whenever he said ‘I love you’.
But it looks as though he probably should’ve chosen a different phrase to swap – considering his dad doesn’t really seem like the affectionate type.
In fact, his dad seems more like the wily sort who wouldn’t let their son get one over on them.
Watch as the drama unfolds…
His phrase replacement was as mature as you’d hope
Shame it doesn’t seem to be a… Read the full story
A study has shown that the average British person says sorry eight times a day. That’s a bit excessive, isn’t it? Sorry about that.
Some nationality stereotypes are true, and British politeness is one of them (along with our fondness for tea). But even we Brits can be too polite for our own good sometimes.
Here are some signs than you need to tone the politeness down a notch.
You apologise when someone stands on your foot
Unless you grabbed their foot and forced it down upon your own, this one probably isn’t your fault.
You say ‘thank you’ when you… Read the full story
Boris is finally getting the love and affection he deserves after nearly a decade of neglect.
The nine-year-old big fluffy Saint Bernard is now being cared for at Cinque Ports Rescue in Deal, Kent, after spending most of his life in cramped conditions with other dogs who kept biting him.
Sadly, Boris now needs to have his ears amputated after the years of bullying and neglect left him with a lot of scar tissue.
Along with another dog, seven-year-old Petal, Boris was part of a case in which multiple Saint Bernards were rescued in a terrible condition, because they… Read the full story
There’s a new ‘it’s not racist’ craze where people are searching for pun-friendly names on Facebook.
Having found names that when said in a sentence resemble somewhat rude phrases, people are messaging them with ‘hilarious’ (their words, not ours, we’re very keen to point out) one-liners and song lyrics – aimed ultimately at those who have been called that since birth.
One name they found, Amin Yashed, received more messages to the account than most, and the account said it was getting seriously sick of it.
His name has caused thousands of ‘laughs’ (once again,… Read the full story

Pre-children weekends are all about lunching with friends and nights out on the town, followed by a nice Sunday morning lie in.
When planning for children you don’t necessarily think about the impact it will have on your weekend.
Then, when you have children you wished you appreciated those lie ins and lazy Sundays in the front of the TV a whole lot more.
Here are 9 ways your weekend will change when you have children.
1. Friday and Saturday nights are like any other night of the week
Before having children the ‘Friday feeling’ used to almost always result in agreeing to a drink or two after work before rolling into bed around midnight.

The weekend is here and what better way to celebrate than with a festive margarita?
This cocktail combines strawberries with a sweet strawberry marmalade.
Using jams in cocktails adds sweetness without having to add simple syrup.
I also love using a bit of orange juice in all my margaritas instead of triple sec or orange liqueur.
I feel that it adds a citrus punch with out adding additional sweetness to the drink.
This recipe serves one.
When you didn’t think there could possibly be anything better than a Creme Egg or the nutty filling of a Kinder Bueno, behold: the Creme Egg nut butter.
And while we’ve had the Creme Egg pizza and the return of the McFlurry, we can’t help but be excited.
The creation, which was created by Liverpool-based Funky Nut, is filled with a thick and gooey cashew nut-based butter, with chunks of the much-loved Cadbury Creme Egg swirled within. We’re drooling just thinking about it.
Metro.co.uk spoke to Julian Campbell, founder of Funky Nut Company, who told us: ‘We decided to create the Creme Egg nut butter… Read the full story
Ex-felon John Joseph knows exactly what it’s like to be in prison.
He grew up around violence and substance abuse and spent two years ‘in the worst juvenile prisons’ as a youngster.
Now, approaching 54 years old, he is in the best shape ever, living a life of peace and compassion, which he credits to adopting a vegan lifestyle.
He is hoping to pass on his hard-earned wisdom to the kids awaiting prison at Ella McQueen Correctional Facility in BedStuy, NYC.
‘If you told me in 1980 I would be continuing a plant-based diet 35 years later and killing it in Ironman triathlons, I would have laughed right in your face,’ he tells Metro.co.uk.

One woman is making a big change within the makeup industry, by making things easier for women of colour.
After personally having trouble finding a foundation that suited her skin tone and colour, Ofunne Amaka wondered whether people were in the same boat.
So, taking inspiration from her own experience, Ofunne Amaka created CocoaSwatches – an Instagram that is committed to showing women of colour how various beauty products actually look when on her skin.

And, having graduated from Columbia University, with a… Read the full story
A mum-of-two from has spoken out about a comment made to her during a shopping trip.
Lindsey Kay Self, from Perrysburg, Ohio, was asked by a man in the when she was expecting.
In a post made to Facebook, she wrote: ‘I laughed and told him, “If you’re asking when I’m expecting my nine-week-old to sleep for longer than 45 minutes, I’m hoping soon”.’
From that moment on, she noticed the man sink from confident to embarrassed, holding an obvious look of shame.
Lindsey, who had left it at that during the time in the store, went on to write: ‘I wish I would have said more. I wish I would have told him that there is nothing to be ashamed of – not for him or me.’
In the incredibly moving post, which was accompanied by a bunch of adorable photographs with her kids, she went on to talk about the wonderful things a body can do:

Gool Peran Lowen!
Or, if Cornish isn’t your first language – Happy St Piran’s Day!
Today, March 5th, is St Piran’s Day, the national day of Cornwall, which is named after one of their patron saints. The day is celebrated in numerous Cornish communities, with some Cornish councils even giving employees the day off.
Celebrations have been growing in popularity since the 1950s, but it dates back much further than that. The term ‘drunk as a perraner’ came into use in the 19th century, proving that St Piran’s Day was a time to drink as much as you possibly could.

I know a lot of mums.
Some bottle feed, some breastfeed. Some co-sleep, some don’t.
I know single mums, older mums, young mums, mothers who work full time and others who stay at home.

However, one thing unites us. We are all doing what we believe is best for our family.
So despite our differences, we can empathise and sympathise with each other because we get it.
We get that every parenting choice a mum makes has been Googled, debated and agonised over.
We understand that motherhood is wonderful but it can also be lonely and… Read the full story
