This 96-year-old got a makeover from his grandson and he’s so much cooler than all of us
We have no idea why fashion is obsessed with youth, when you only need to take a look at grandpas like Ram Shankar Pandey to know style definitely improves with age.
‘Fashions fade, style is eternal,’ as Yves Saint Laurent said. So, why do we ignore, rather than take inspiration from, our stylish grandparents?
That’s something Aman Kumar, a Delhi-based graphic designer and photographer, sought to change when he invited his 96-year-old granddad, a farmer from Uttar Pradesh in northern India, in for a hipster makeover and fashion shoot.
This is Grandpa Pandey on an average day. He’s pretty damn cool.

All-female flight crew land plane in country where they’re not even allowed to drive
Meet Captain Sharifah Czarena and senior first officers Sariana Nordin and Dk Nadiah Pg Khashiem.
On 24 February, they became Royal Brunei Airlines’ first all-female flight crew, piloting a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on flight BI081 from Brunei to Jeddah.
It was a landmark moment for the airline, not least because the female pilots landed into Saudi Arabia – a country where women aren’t even allowed to drive a car (while there isn’t an official law banning women from driving, Saudi clerics argue female drivers ‘undermine social values’).

Forever 21 is being criticised for selling a ‘rapey’ t-shirt
An important reminder to any brand making a slogan t-shirt: Check whatever you’re writing on there.
Check it for spelling mistakes. Check to see if there’s any way it could be considered offensive. Go and show it to a panel of regular people who don’t work for you.

Why you should never store uncooked potatoes in the fridge
You know the drill. You bought a load of vegetables, want to keep them fresh for as long as possible, so you throw them all in the fridge.
It’s smart. It makes sense. And in most cases, it’s a good idea.
But there’s one vegetable you really, really shouldn’t store in the fridge: uncooked potatoes.
For one thing, keeping your potatoes at a chilly temperature will negatively affect their taste. The cold makes the starch in potatoes turn into sugar more quickly, leaving you with a sweeter, tougher potato. Sad times.

Man uses Twitter to track down author of 15-year-old letter left hidden in fireplace

This weekend, Manchester man Alex Moss was having the floor replaced in the bedroom of his house in Prestwich. When they opened up the fireplace, they found a 15-year-old note stashed inside.
‘Hello, welcome to my room, it’s 2001 and I am decorating this room,’ the time-travelling note read.
‘Hope you enjoy your life, remember that I will always be watching you!’ it concludes, unnervingly. The note was signed ‘L8SERS, Darren Lucas’.
Great note.
After originally sharing the message from the noughties on Reddit, Alex later decided to post… Read the full story

Grieving husband creates homemade candle using his late wife’s favourite scents to help him cope with his loss
A grieving husband has created the most beautiful tribute to his late wife.
As a couple, they were both incredibly fond of candles, buying nine together in the year before she died.

The man, Reddit user emperorzar, posted a photo on imgur to share his idea.
His first scent was Meadow Showers and Pink Sands, by Yankee Candle, which was accompanied by Eucalyptus Mint, by Bath and Body Works.
