A bride managed to look on the bright side – eventually – after her wedding photographer managed to totally ars* up every single picture of her big day.

‘So, what do you do when you finally receive your actual wedding day photos and find yourself sorely disappointed in them? Get angry? Check. Shed a few tears over them? Done. Post some of the best (of the worst) on social media for amusement? Absolutely!’ wrote unhappy bride Jaclyn Ying, from Singapore, on her Facebook page.

This cafe ain’t big enough for the both of us (Picture: Instagram)

As if being able to sip a beer while interacting with owls at the Bibi and George owl cafe in Japan weren’t exciting enough, recent visitors were able to enjoy watching this owl patrolling on a toy horse.

There are some treats money just can’t buy.

But because we aren’t all lucky enough to live in Japan, a staff member has helpfully shared three short clips of the owl and the toy horse on their Instagram account for the whole world to see.

In part 1 of the series, you can watch the owl coolly perched on the toy while it… Read the full story

We finally know where we’ve been going wrong with our lives.

Sure, our bowls of ice cream eaten when we’re sobbing in front of our laptops have been great. But there’s always been something missing, you know?

Was it a person to hang out with? Emotional support? Nah. It was a bowl made out of churros.

Milky Lane restaurant in Sydney, Australia (it’s always Australia doing the tasty stuff, isn’t it?) is now serving up their ice cream sundaes in bowls made of sugary, cinnamony, doughy goodness.

Yep. Churro bowls. They’re a thing.

The full message, which was accompanied by a photo of Murphy, a black labrador, reads: ‘My brave little labby who passed away 7th April 2016. So for all those ball loving dogs please enjoy as much as Murphy did’.

Underneath, the owner had left a basket of tennis balls for other dogs to chase.

Since the dawn of bronzer and the birth of words like ‘strobing’ and ‘baking’, people have been strategically putting makeup on parts of their body to make them look curvier, slimmer, or more uplifted.

Is it a bit weird, considering all the effort required and the fact that your sudden cleavage can accidentally be wiped away by your dress? Absolutely.

But are we at all surprised to hear – yet again – that a new area of the body has become subject to the contouring craze? Nah. Not a bit.

Little fox cub Puggle was just two weeks old when he was found cold and alone in North London by the National Fox Welfare Society.

He was found in someone’s back garden, in need of care and feeling lonely. The NFWS took him in, and soon he was on his way to his temporary home with foster parents Carolyn and Shane – he’ll be released back into the wild once he’s old enough to take care of himself.

But living without his fox family was leaving Puggle feeling a little lonely.

A new survey has revealed the most popular time for British couples to have sex.

Just in case you were wondering when to avoid popping round unannounced to your neighbours’ house.

Distance, not absence, makes the heart grow fonder – or so you’re telling yourself now that there are miles between you and your significant other.

Whether you’re at university or your jobs make it impossible for you to be in the same city or even continent at the same time and you have decided to give your relationship a go despite the miles between you, then first of all well done on not giving up on love at the first hurdle.

Forget cuddly bunnies and Barbie dolls. This kid isn’t interested in your standard toys. Soz.

One fateful day, one-and-a-half-year-old Sylvie discovered a lawn owl, designed to be placed outside to scare away birds. It had been given to her dad as a birthday gift, but Sylvie had bigger ideas.

She stole away the lawn owl, named it Whootie, and made it her BFF.

Sylvie and Whootie eat together, play together, and even share a bed.

Sure, Whootie is a little bit scary. But Sylvie doesn’t care. She loves her lawn owl no matter what.

They’re also made with natural hemp.

Despite social media being awash with pictures of what we’re all having for dinner, a new survey has found that nearly half of all meals eaten in the UK are eaten alone.

And 34 per cent of us can go a whole week without eating a meal alongside someone else.

The research, commissioned by charity The Big Lunch, also found that a third of weekday evening meals are meals for one, and the average adult eats 10 meals out of 21 alone every week.

These people aren’t choosing to eat alone – most people blamed their busy lives and hectic work schedules for their solitary dining habits.

If you get through a pack of painkillers every month, you need to know about this.

Livia is a handy new gadget that promises to instantly get rid of the pain of period cramps, without the need for any painkillers. Which sounds pretty marvelous to us.

The gadget clips on to your waistband and extends into two little stickers that you attach to your lower tummy area (you know, where the cramps are). Those little stickers send little pulses that stimulate the nerves, blocking pain receptors and preventing pain messages from travelling to the brain.

Student is given a lower mark by teacher because his staple wasn’t at a 45 degree angle

We’ve all had that one teacher that literally gets joy out of telling us off. 

And it always became more apparent when our friends would do the same thing we got in trouble for, but they wouldn’t get excluded from class.

But, we can’t please everyone.

This student definitely can’t – and his teacher made that painfully obvious after taking a mark from his homework for the most ridiculous thing.

And whether this post is real – or perhaps just another adult trying to make it to the front page of Reddit (we can’t help but be a little sceptical) – it certainly makes us reminisce on all the stupid reasons why we were told off in school.

Reddit user Tru_Fakt (we hope his name fits) posted a photo of his friend’s homework online, to tell of how he was docked a point on his ‘otherwise flawless’ calculus homework for ‘improper staple placement’.

Basically, his staple… Read the full story

Whether it’s to taunt them or to hold said item hostage, there’s no doubt it sparks a conversation.

This boy, however, took it a step further than the average selfie.

TRX suspension training gear can help you get more out of so many different exercises.

The dangling straps hanging in the gym are a multi-purpose piece of gym equipment that can instantly increase intensity and decrease balance, making you work harder.

We’ve enlisted body transformation coach and bodybuilding.com athlete Lee Constantinou to help us learn some of the best ways to use it.

Lee says: ‘Suspension training is a form of resistant strength training that uses extended ropes known as a “suspension trainer” to create resistance during bodyweight exercises.

It would appear that we’ve all got nothing better to do with our time, so thousands of people are getting involved with a thread on Reddit that asks guys to describe their penises using film titles.

It has really captured the public’s (dirty) imagination.

After someone going by the username Fire-Crotch_McGee (click at your peril) posed the question: ‘Men of Reddit, what movie title would describe your penis?’ lots of guys have been pitching in with their ideas.

Some are blockbusters. Others might find a smaller, but loyal, fan base. In time.

Oh hey. Hoping your winning personality will land you a significant other that far outweighs you in the looks department?

Well sorry. Your dreams have just been crushed under the foot of the online dating beast. You will have to settle for someone who’s just as attractive as you are. And you’ll have to be happy about it. Poor you.

You see,  the rise of online dating has made it significantly harder to end up dating someone who’s more or less traditionally attractive than you.

Instead you’re more likely than ever to end up with someone of equal physical attractiveness.

But why is this?
