Quiz: Guess the celebrity from the truly terrible pencil drawing
We don’t think Declan Higgins will be getting a job as a police E-Fit artist anytime soon. But that’s part of his charm.
Declan is the Belfast-based ‘artist’ behind the Crap Portraits Twitter account. It’s a fairly simple concept. Declan sketches a famous face and then asks his followers to guess who it is.
As the handle suggests, he’s pretty crap at drawing. In his own words, he’s not ‘intentionally crap, just talentless’. But, as we always say, never let a lack of talent get in the way of your dreams.
The first picture Declan ever… Read the full story

Teen gets the puppy she desperately wanted after winning Twitter bet with dad
As emotional blackmail goes, this is pretty smart.
Back in March, 17-year-old Clara Foster from Houston was struggling to convince her dad to allow her to have the puppy she so desperately wanted.
She had only recently said goodbye to her beloved 13-year-old springer spaniel Fuchsia, who sadly had to be put down.
Then, her cousin’s dog had a litter of puppies and she fell in love with a little black and white pup called Olly.
So, being the enterprising teen she is, she texted her dad Tony Foster, a professor at Lone Star College in Kingwood, with a proposal that would harness the power of social media for… Read the full story

13 small, perfectly detailed tattoo ideas for every first-inker
If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo but aren’t totally sure what you want, it’s wise to do some research first.
A lot of people dislike their first ink, and dismiss it later as being ‘just my first tattoo’ – meaning it’s okay, but it’s not as great as the others they went on to get.
It is possible to get something you really love first time though – and it helps not to get inked on impulse. Trust me, you know when you love a design.
If you’re sat in the chair thinking, ‘Oh god, do I get it?’ after a snap decision to have a tattoo, then the obvious answer is no.
While you should never just copy someone else’s design exactly – because many designs are custom, and it would absolutely suck to see someone with a tattoo that was originally drawn for you only – there’s no harm in using them for inspiration.

13 reasons why being an only child is the best
Being an only child is the best thing ever. Fact.
Growing up you were always a tad confused at the slight sympathy you would receive when people discovered that you were an only child. Because as far as you were concerned, you were having an absolute whale of a time.
Being an only child meant no sharing, total adoration, and not having to hide your chocolate from anyone. What could be so bad about that?
1. No sharing
You always heard about the trials and tribulations your friends and cousins went through when they had to share every single thing that they owned with their siblings. And… Read the full story

Man looking for threesome accidentally texts wrong number, leads to seriously weird conversation
One Irish personal trainer was left feeling pretty confused when he (allegedly) received a text from a random stranger addressing him as ‘big boy‘.
23-year-old PT Bill Walsh – who says he is currently in a loving relationship – was enjoying a perfectly normal afternoon when he received a surprising text from someone who had accidentally messaged the wrong number in response to a Craigslist advertisement they’d seen.
But, instead of addressing the fact there had been a wrong number situation and getting on with the rest of their day, the pair enjoyed a somewhat in-depth chat.
In the process, Bill found out that this particular stranger had been scrolling through Craiglist in search of a threesome.
Bill apparently had no idea what Craigslist even was.

Italy city breaks – forget Rome and Venice, it’s time to visit Turin
Turin is often described as one of Italy’s overlooked cities.
Tucked away in the mountains, it’s out of sight and out of minds for many tourists.
The city offers just as wonderful food and wine and cultural sights as the rest of the country, but without quite as many elbows to wrestle.
Rome is frantic, Venice is sinking – but Turin is a lovely option for your next escape.

Mahavir Jayanti: What is it and why do we celebrate it?

New Zealand designer asks ‘who wore it best’ after Kylie Jenner ‘steals’ her festival look
Kylie Jenner’s Coachella wardrobe was probably the most eye-catching of the weekend. Quite literally.
On Saturday, she Instagrammed several shots of her wearing an evil eye sequinned Discount Universe bikini and sporting long rainbow-coloured braids.
We’re not ashamed to say, we’re totally lusting after those rainbow plaits for festival season – even if it won’t be quite the same when we’re tramping through six inches of mud in our Hunters and hoodie at V Festival.
And it looks like we’re not the only ones who trawl Instagram for our festival wardrobe inspiration.

Twenty years ago, this is what some of the biggest websites in the world looked like
When you stop to think about just how far we’ve come in the last twenty years, it’s pretty mind-boggling.
The World Wide Web was still in its infancy, most us still didn’t have an email address, and some of Leonardo DiCaprio’s future girlfriends were still in Pampers.
In the late nineties, some of the today’s biggest – and slickest – global brands were still trying to work out the whole ‘online’ thing.
It’s hard to believe Apple was ever anything but the minimal, sleek, powerhouse that it is today, but check out their homepage from 1998 and you realise we’ve come… Read the full story

All the amazing Coachella food we wish we were eating right now
We get that Coachella must be very exciting for music fans who also enjoy walking around in a hot desert.
We understand. It’s a great chance to wear a flower crown and some sort of floaty kimono. It’s all very exciting. But you will probably never catch us going, because Coachella is also a load of effort.
There’s all the walking. There’s the heat. There’s the pressure to look like a festival goddess despite the heat and the walking. It’s expensive and we really can’t be bothered. We’ll just wear our perfect floaty outfit around London, thanks.
But there is one thing that’s almost convinced us that… Read the full story

Girl asks her dad to buy her some sanitary towels; totally regrets it
There’s many things we can rely on our dads for.
Such as being our shoulder to cry on when we’re broken-hearted, when we’re desperately in need of some money or if we need a late night taxi.
Sure, it sounds a little like we’re using them – but they sort of owe us considering they have a seriously awesome child. Especially when your sibling is nowhere near as awesome.
One thing you should probably steer clear of – if you’re a woman, that is – is asking your dad to buy you any sort of sanitary product.

This brilliant new website shows what The Queen was doing when she was your age
Most of us have only known Her Maj as a grey-haired gran who can rock a pastel skirt suit and has a natty line in matching umbrellas.
We might think a soon-to-be 90-year-old posh lady, who comes out of her castle occasionally to shake hands with randoms, is pretty irrelevant to our day to day lives.
But, ahead of her milestone birthday on Thursday, a new website called Keeping Up With The Queen is here to remind us that The Queen has seen and done more things than we could ever dream of.
