Good news millionaires. A parking space has just gone up for sale in a prime spot in Knightsbridge.
The bad news is you might struggle to get your supercar in there.
New to Zoopla this week is a listing for a car parking space on level B3 of an exclusive private underground car park on Basil Street in Knightsbridge.
It’s on the market for a staggering £250,000.
Because the London property market has now officially lost its mind.
If you didn’t already know, some cats hate the vets.
I say some, because you might see the odd one casually chilling in their cage – but for many others, it’s pretty much their worst nightmare.
A woman named Diane knows this all too well – and so she decided to write her neighbours a note to let them know that at 8am, she would… Read the full story
If you are second-generation Irish it’s safe to assume your childhood was a pretty colourful one.
A huge extended family, full of characters you simply couldn’t make up, means there was never a dull moment while you were growing up.
Sayings, stories, and the craic will set your parents and your upbringing apart from others.
Here are a few things you will recognise if you have an Irish parent or two…
1. Religious icons
From the sacred heart of Jesus plate hung on the wall to the statue of the Virgin Mary and a photo of the Pope on the… Read the full story
A five-year-old boy called Freddie Gibson is setting a fine example of how to achieve the perfect date, after he asked his ‘best friend in the whole world’ to accompany him on a romantic meal.
Freddie, who’s from Christchurch in Dorset, had found out what a ‘date’ was after he asked his parents about it. After learning what one was, he decided he wanted to ask his best friend Dee Dee whether she would like to go for a meal with… Read the full story
When it comes to planning an action-packed long-haul city break, Toronto isn’t necessarily the first place that springs to mind.
It probably wouldn’t even be the first Canadian city you’d think of, as nearby Montreal and Vancouver have been piping Toronto to the post on the tourism front for years.
But those of us who’ve overlooked it have been missing out.
Canada’s largest city has the sass, sophistication and culture of nearby New York and yet manages to feel like the friendliest and possibly the cleanest place in the world (two things NY could never be accused of).
Giving blood is something a lot of people have thought about, but most of us don’t do.
But today is World Blood Donor Day – so what better time to start?
NHS Blood and Transplant says fresh donors are desperately needed after a huge drop in the number of new volunteers in the past decade.
Your donation will help treat thousands of seriously ill people across the UK every day – and you can let slip that you donate to impress people at parties.
It doesn’t take long, you can do it in your lunch break. Here are 10 more reasons you should sign up to give blood this week:
1. Your donation is needed
6,000 donations are needed every day to keep up with demand in hospitals in England and… Read the full story
A mother’s Facebook post urging parents to ensure their children are vaccinated has been shared over 20,000 times after it struck a chord with many.
Kayley Burke, from Queensland, Australia, told how her 11-month-old son, Elijah, had been suffering with chickenpox for a week, as he is too young to be vaccinated himself.
Some people will find the images below distressing so discretion is advised.
The disease, which has… Read the full story

This powerful image of a grandfather and his grandson hanging out together as they both recover from open heart surgeries has been shared around the world.
The image, taken by photographer Sunshine Moody, shows grandfather, Allan Halstead, 67, holding his 11-month-old grandson Kolbie Gregware. Both bear identical ‘zipper’ scars from their surgeries.
Kolbie’s mum and Allan’s daughter Brandy Gregware, from South Carolina, shared the photo online two weeks ago in an incredible moving Facebook post, where she called the duo ‘two fighting miracles’.
Despite being generations apart, Brandy says Kolbie and Allan share an ‘amazing’ bond, after both battling serious health problems.
Attention all people who keep telling youths to put down their phones and make connections in real life: LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
A new Kickstarter for the Party Cup – a plastic cup designed to connect single people without technology – has raised more than $13,000 (£9,186) since it was launched.
The actual cup is pretty simple. It’s just like those red Solo cups you see American people drinking from on TV, except the Party Cup is a more stylish black and white, and features a label that you can etch your name on to with your fingernail.
Dog breath is disgusting. No dog-lover can deny it. For some reason all the meat-y dog food, treats, and slobber mixes into the most disgraceful smell any being can emit from their mouth.
And yet, puppy breath is magically an absolute delight. It’s sweet and adorable and heavenly.
You’re not crazy. Their cuteness isn’t messing with your sense of smell. Puppy breath really does smell sweeter, and there’s a scientific reason why.
Caroline Cook of Digital Doggy explains that the reason we love the smell of puppy breath is all down to what puppies eat.
First time sex is rarely as good as the movies would have us believe it to be.
Getting to know somebody new, their likes and dislikes, their quirks and habits and preferences in the bedroom – and then there’s the small talk in the morning – it’s a minefield.
And while it’s easy to pretend that you loved every second, when it comes to sex with someone new for the first time there are certain things all women think, but would never dream of saying.
From the size of your manhood to unexpected noises – 25 things all women think the first time they have sex with you.
1. I wonder if he’s as… Read the full story
If this doesn’t prove everyone was on drugs in the 70s, nothing will.
The 70s Dinner Party Twitter account exists solely to champion the golden age of home cooking and fork buffets that was the 1970s.
It is, quite simply, an absolute treasure trove of mind-blowing recipe ideas.
Sure, you can make an avocado rose, but have you ever stuffed a pineapple with seafood mouse, jellied a whole trout, or hidden your sausages in an Edam fondue?
The account that is… Read the full story
How much effort did your teacher go to to keep you happily focused in class?
It’s easy to assume homophobia doesn’t exist in Britain any more.
To pat ourselves on the back as the civilised nation that, of course, accepts gay marriage and believes love is love.
Following the Orlando attacks I commissioned a blog from Stonewall.
After tweeting it I got backlash from someone claiming to be religiously opposed to ‘LGBT practices’.
The idea of religion got me thinking about confession, bearing witness and sin.
Not the perceived ‘sins’ of the gay community – the sins of seeing bad things in the world and doing nothing.
Because, especially if you’re straight, it’s possible to see or hear homophobia and not challenge it.
Everybody’s sex drive is different.
But, what happens if this is a regular occurrence? Sure, some couples will have sex more than others – but how do you make it work when you fancy leading the life of a pornstar and the love of your live is too busy sleeping to even know what one is?
Some people are talking about making it work over on Reddit, on a thread which asks: Couples who have different sex drives, how do you make it work in the bedroom?
So, if you’re facing a similar situation – have a read. Your problems may be… Read the full story
There’s a load of mystery surrounding the secret world of sugar daddies.
If you don’t know, it’s a dating, relationship, or friendship setup in which the man (known as a sugar daddy) gives a woman (his sugar baby) money and gifts in exchange for her company.
This is mostly because those in sugar daddy/baby relationships don’t feel comfortable coming forward and openly discussing their relationship.
It can feel like there’s stigma attached to any romantic relationship in which money changes hands.
There are stereotypes of sugar daddies as 70-something, super rich men dressing up prostitution as paid-for… Read the full story
