Just a couple of days ago, I wrote about a couple who spend their lives pranking each other for ‘likes’ on Facebook. 

The last video saw Jenny Davies, the girlfriend of prankster Brad Holmes, tricking Brad into thinking he’d cheated on her after a night out with his friends.

Many viewers applauded Jenny for the prank – not because it was especially well-executed or creative, but because she’d managed to get her own back after being the brunt of video after video which have seen her either screaming in anger or breaking down in tears, as the result of being ‘pranked’ by Brad.

Like, for example, the infamous video of… Read the full story

In some news that’ll make teenagers say ‘ughhhhh, muuuuuum’, it’s now possible for parents to totally cramp their kids’ dating game and spy on all their Tinder activity.

Which, while a total bummer for teenagers, is probably a pretty good idea considering all the dodgy sh*t going down on dating apps.

Teensafe, a popular phone-monitoring app for parents who want to check up on their kids, just released an update that includes the ability to monitor Tinder use.

Any parent who uses TeenSafe will now be able to see if their child has Tinder, which could be a great way to open up the… Read the full story

Meet Smoothie the cat. She’s pretty and she knows it.

As her name implies, she’s smooooooth. Her fur is long and flowing, with highlights we are seriously jealous of. Her eyes are like sparkling jewels staring into your soul.

One time, we saw Smoothie the cat wearing army pants and flip-flops, so we bought army pants and flip flops.

No one cat should have all this power. But she does. She’s gorgeous. So gorgeous she’s earned 123,000 followers on Instagram.

Smoothie knows her angles.

 

She knows she’s the boss.

 

Smoothie slays, okay?

If you’re anything like us then you’re always planning the next big adventure.

Whether that’s tumbling down a ski slope, living in the lap of luxury on a beautiful stretch of coast or getting stuck into a book somewhere in the Brecon Beacons – it’s simply a matter of choice.

In the hubbub of modern day life it’s easy to fantasise about finding a secluded spot to spend time. But not all of us have the guts to see our dreams come true.

Below, we look at 14 of the most out of the way destinations for a summer holiday – air miles at the ready!

In news that will come as a shock to anyone who’s dated a guy that obsessively asks about the size of your exes’ penises (ahem), a new survey reveals that actually, most men are perfectly happy with the size of their dick. Good for them.

The survey, conducted by Dr. Ed and shared exclusively with metro.co.uk, involved asking thousands of men and women around the world about penis size.

They explored everything from ideal penis size to the effect of penis size on sexual confidence. The… Read the full story

From Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s War on Waste campaign, to Jamie Oliver’s Food Waste campaign, 2016 is all about reducing food waste.

A whopping third of food produced goes straight to waste, while each household throws away £700 of food each year. It’s shocking.

Sure, a lot of food is wasted at a commercial and retail level, but we can do a lot to reduce food waste at home. Sometimes we overbuy fresh food and it goes to waste before we can use it up, or we cook too much, but we also habitually throw away perfectly good food: carrot tops, beetroot leaves, broccoli stalks and squash seeds are all perfectly… Read the full story

If you haven’t guessed already, we love Japan’s annual cherry blossom festival and wish we were there. All the time. It fills us with peace and we wish it could be cherry blossom season all the time.

But sadly, Japan’s cherry blossoms only pop out for around one month each year. From the 1st of April for the next few weeks, flocks of residents and tourists head down to their nearest parks to check out the gloriousness of the cherry blossoms, turning from white to pink as Spring goes on.

Also sad? The fact that if we ever want to see Japan’s cherry blossom festival in… Read the full story

Plagued by the itchy, dry annoyance that is dandruff?

Turns out the answer might be hiding in your bathroom. Like, right now. Go check.

Canadian beauty blogger Farah Dukai – who’s previously recommended rubbing garlic all over your face to prevent acne – has just shared her method for ridding her scalp of flakes: mouthwash.

Listerine, more specifically. She says that her solution will leave your scalp ‘tingly, cool, refreshed’ and most definitely dandruff free.

Farah explains that Listerine has menthol, thymol and methyl salicylate – which all have anti-fungal, anti-septic, and anti-inflammatory properties… Read the full story

Today in ‘everything you love is actually awful’ news: your burger probably has poo in it. Pleasant.

A study by Consumer Reports involved researchers analysing 458lbs of beef from supermarkets. They found that all of it contained ‘bacteria that signified fecal contamination’.

Wait. Let’s just let that sink in for a moment, like ketchup on a prime patty.

ALL the beef had bacteria that aligns with the presence of poo. ALL OF IT. Dear Lord.

Nearly 20% of the beef also contained bacteria C. perfringens (which has been linked to food poisoning), while 1% had been contaminated with salmonella. Oh dear.

Like when your mum starts ringing them more regularly than she rings you. Don’t worry, she still loves you too.

1. You start planning holidays together that are more than three months ahead of time without having the ‘but what if we break up before then?’ panic before booking.

2. Saving money together in a joint account starts to make sense because you’re at a point where you share most things financially anyway.

3. You find yourself in a state of panic if you don’t hear from them within 30 minutes of sending a text. Are they okay? OMG WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED?

We all know that moist is a terrible word that should be banned, and never again used to describe cake, burgers, or anything else good in this world.

We don’t really know why it’s a terrible word, to be honest. It just is. Ask the shivers going down our spine if you need confirmation of that.

But it turns out there is an actual reason this particular word has such a strong effect. Or a theory about the reason, at least.

A group of psychologists, lead by professor Paul Thibodeau of Oberlin college, set out to find out what it is about the word… Read the full story

There is one thing you can be sure of when having children, that those with kids older than yours will delight in telling you ‘this is the easy bit, the worst is still to come!’

There is no denying that every age comes with its challenges, but, for every new drama there is an equal dose of joy.

Seven is a transitional age, one where your child is no longer your baby but is someway off from having teenage attitude too.

Farewell, goodbye and adios to the miserable month of April… and heeeeeeello to May.

Yes, the warm weather is sweeping in and the days are getting longer as summer starts to creep in.

But it isn’t just the warm weather that makes May so brilliant – there’s also some seriously awesome stuff to look forward to this month.

1. Wherever I am, at exactly 11.27am panic sets in. Cafes around the nation are switching to the lunch menu.

2. What kind of monster stops breakfast at 11.30am? Why is the cooking of eggs time-based at all? Is this some kind of fascist experiment on human desire?

3. The availability of pancakes at any time of day is basically a human right.

Most of us look forward to our birthday all year and, if planned properly, it can be the best day of our year.

If you’re lucky enough to have been born in May then you might even have the greatest birthday of all.

Here’s why it’s best to be a May child.

1. May babies are the biggest and bounciest 

May babies can be up to 7 ounces heavier than those born at other times of the year, meaning that you start life with an extra zing in the pram.

2. Summer is on its way 

Not long after you’re born, summer arrives, so you spend the first few months of your life absorbing loads of Vitamin D,… Read the full story
