A bad date doesn’t just mean things get a bit awkward.

For many people, a bad date is scary. You feel genuinely unsafe. When dates go this wrong, it’s tricky to get out of them.

One bar has a solution. They’ve put up a sign in their women’s bathroom offering to help if a date takes a bad turn.

‘Tinder date gone wrong?’ reads the sign. ‘Doesn’t look like his picture, or just plain weird?

‘If you’re on a date and it’s not going well, come to the bar and ask for Rachelle or Jennifer and… Read the full story

Anyone who says that age is just a number is kidding themselves – age is a feeling that can leave you deflated, especially when you haven’t realised that it is creeping up on you.

Sorry to do this to you, but people have been taking to social media to share exactly what leaves them feeling that they are just not a young person anymore – and a lot of them are hitting home.

When did times change so much? Take a trip down memory lane – and start feeling your age – by taking a look at these examples shared as part of… Read the full story

Just another reminder if that something you can buy on the internet seems too good to be true – it probably is.

17-year-old Juliet Jacoby had something specific in mind for her prom look. She’d fallen in love with a red maxi dress with sheer embroidered sleeves from WANELO – but at $149, it was a little out of budget.

So her mum found the same dress on RoseGal – same picture, same description – for just $35. It seemed like a bargain, so Juliet and her mum happily went ahead and hit the checkout button.

Two weeks later… Read the full story

A dad has taken part in a parody springtime ‘pregnancy’ shoot to repay his wife for a drunken mistake made with their first born.

You don’t have to be a cowboy to appreciate the beauty and grace of horses.

As well as being beautiful, regal creatures they also have a few nifty tricks up their hooves, which makes them all the more fascinating…

1. Dribbling foals

A horse produces 10 gallons of saliva a day. That’s the equivalent of you dribbling 80 pints of beer down your chin on a Friday night.

2. Ear-ily muscular

Horses have 16 minuscule muscles in each ear and can rotate them 180 degrees.

3. Huge eyes

Horses have the biggest eyes out of all land mammals.

4. Equine hybrids and zebroids

You can get Zorses (zebra-horse hybrid), Mules (female horse-donkey hybrid), Hinnys (male horse-donkey hybrid) and probably… Read the full story

We haven’t been this excited since we discovered that hotel phones in America sometimes come with pizza buttons.

No pizza here, but you can dial 68 for a bedtime story.

There’s no way anyone’s staying in that room and not dialling that number.

A picture of the – may we just say, very stylish – phone was shared on Reddit yesterday by a guy called Steve (aka ToxicSteve13) and it’s got everyone quite excited/curious.

‘I love this phone,’ wrote one person, while another was more cautious, commenting: ‘I would be both excited and afraid to dial that number.’

Threesomes are one of the most common fantasies people have, and yet, despite their popularity, still hold an air of mystery and taboo.  

Undoubtedly they are not something that most people indulge in on a weekly basis, however, there’s a lot to be said for the occasional flirtation with group sex, and three isn’t always a crowd.

Whether you’re shocked at the idea of an additional guest, or think that the more there are the merrier it is – here are 12 reasons why threesomes are awesome.

1. They’re naughty

While nobody should feel obliged to participate in acts of sexual deviancy that they don’t want to, there is something deliciously naughty and forbidden about a… Read the full story

Glorious news for all vegetarians: No longer will the sad egg mayo sandwich be our only lunch option. Finally.

Pret A Manger released its annual results today, which happen to show a massive increase in customers interested in vegetarian products.

They asked their veggie customers what they should be doing to feed that demand and the answer was – as you’d probably expect – ‘give us more vegetarian and vegan options, mate’.

So that’s what Pret is going to do.

They’ve launched a new campaign called Not Just For Veggies, to show people that you don’t have to… Read the full story

He usually charges upwards of £85 a head for one of his tasting menus, but Gordon Ramsay is offering his services free of charge to one young fan, after she wrote him a heartbreaking letter about her debilitating gastrointestinal (GI) condition.

See, he’s a total softy really.

Eight-year-old Abigail Carper’s rare intestinal condition means she has to eat through a feeding tube and can only eat a few foods.

It also means she spends a lot of time in hospital.

It’s the makeup equivalent of a unicorn. It’s like finding the gold at the end of the rainbow. It may well be actual fairy dust.

Yesterday, a Redditor shared a screengrab of some magical rainbow powder and asked for help. ‘Can anyone help me ID this iridescent rainbow blush from an Instagram post?’ she begged.

Because, look at it. You need this. One sweep of this magic powder over your cheekbones and you will be transformed into a festival goddess.

Alternatively, you could indeed just sit and look at it all day long. It’s entirely up to you.

If you’ve ever experienced the struggle of watching as your packet of crisps gets stuck in the vending machine you just bought them from, you’ll totally sympathise with this group of students. 

Not for too long, though.

Their packets of crisps hadn’t just become stuck. One of the dispensers in the machine had stopped working, and therefore wouldn’t move back after attempting to dispense.

People attempting to buy before them had obviously lost out, as there was a pile of crisps that had become stuck within the machine.

As they watched helplessly as their lifeless crisps stared back at them, the students, from Rutgers University in New… Read the full story

Moving house can be incredibly daunting. 

So many things must be planned in order to avoid too much stress, crushed hope and disappointment during your property search and move.

And there are big questions even before you get there: Can you afford it? Do you have enough money for a deposit? Enough for first month’s rent? Enough to afford to live?

Here are nine things you’ll only know if you’re in the process of moving:

1. You strive to find the ‘perfect place’

At least half of your ‘perfect places’ are perfectly out of your price range. So, you talk yourself into settling for something smaller or… Read the full story

Parents, you know the drill. You’re exhausted. Your kid refuses to sleep until they hear another bedtime story. But they don’t want one of their old favourites – they want a story that’s just for them.

Sure, sometimes you’re ready with an adventure about them finding unicorns and running through the kingdom to take down the king of doughnuts.

But other times, you’re too tired to even think straight – let alone get creative.

Imagine a world where every person of every nationality could understand each other with ease. Wouldn’t it just be wonderful?

Well, someone is making that a reality. And it comes in fashion form.

IconBreak is the result of three people who describe themselves as ‘three friends and lunatics’, who wanted to solve the problem of the language barrier when travelling the world.

Using their own experiences of miscommunication when traveling the world, they came up with the most amazing concept: a T-shirt bearing a variety of icons that everyone can understand.

National Amaretto day is a thing that probably shouldn’t exist. Like World Nutella Day or National Bread Week, it is a made-up occasion. Sorry…

But apparently, it does exist – and it’s today. And, because it’s celebrating a good cause, we’ll overlook the fact it’s a big old fraud.

Because amaretto is the nectar of the gods – if you treat it right.
