The perfect hairdresser is hard to find – so when you do find one, you try and cling on to them for dear life.

But one man is so determined to stay loyal to his barber that he travels 500 miles for a haircut…and no doubt would go 500 more.

Ray James, who lives in the Scottish Highlands, does a 1,000 mile round trip to Dudley in the West Midlands, four times a year, for a trim.

And not only that, but he does it in his 53-year-old Morris Minor.

Until four years ago, Ray had been going to the same barber since the 1950s – despite… Read the full story

Working in the service industry can be tough at the best of times.

This new mum wrote a hilarious list of 20 things you need to know about 'pushing out a baby'

Anyone who has to spend eight/nine/10/12/however many hours a day dealing with irate members of the public, quite frankly, deserves a medal.

Unsurprisingly, it’s tougher for women.

Research from the University of Strathclyde found that women who work in customer-facing roles are more likely to encounter weight-based prejudice than their male colleagues, even if the women are not overweight and the men are.

We all know that dad jokes are the best worst kind of jokes. 

Teenage athlete with cerebral palsy stars in major new active wear campaign

But we let them get away with it nonetheless because, well, we wouldn’t want to rain on their parade.

It seems, however, that one girl has heard one too many dad jokes – and she’s seriously had enough.

So, in true moody daughter fashion – she put her old man down a peg or two by trying out his own bad joke on himself.

After years of anxiety dreams, the thought of losing teeth is bound to freak even the bravest person out.

Although for little kids, wobbly first teeth can, of course, mean a tidy profit – courtesy of the tooth fairy.

And one terrifyingly fearless five-year-old has chosen a particularly direct and inventive way of getting her money-making milk tooth out.

Addison Gibbs got fed up with waiting for her front tooth to come out because it was bleeding, so turned to her bow and arrow for help.

A teenage athlete is hoping to change people’s perceptions of disability by starring in Target Australia’s new activewear campaign.

Robyn Lambird, 19, from Perth, was born with cerebral palsy and, although she can walk on her own, she uses a forearm crutch or walking stick to help with mobility sometimes. She also uses a wheelchair when her symptoms become too painful or tiring.

She’s a competitive wheelchair racer and hopes to take part in her first World Championship in London next year. She’s also a disability advocate, blogger and fashion-lover.

And now she’s added modelling to her CV, after appearing in Target’s new spring… Read the full story

Pregnancy and childbirth are mysterious and miraculous things – but if you haven’t had a kid yet, you’re probably basing that knowledge on soaps and films.

You’re probably expecting a dramatic, bloody labour (perhaps with multiple potential fathers fighting it out in the delivery room), before going back to your size 10 frame a few days later and heading off into the sunset.

Apparently, this is a complete myth.

So to put us all in the more accurate picture, one Hertfordshire-based blogger and experienced baby-pusher has written an hilarious guide to the whole thing.

Imagine the joys of owning a micro-pig. Waking up to see its little snout. Stroking its beautiful pink skin. Hearing its adorable little oinks.

Now imagine you owned one who thought he was a dog and liked being walked on a lead.

That dream is Laura Broadley-Crawford’s reality.

Frankie Einswine, a seven-month-old micro-pig from Ontario ‘barks’, wags his tail, can learn tricks and even has his own capsule wardrobe.

I count myself really lucky.

I have a best friend who is brutally honest with me.

Teenage athlete with cerebral palsy stars in major new active wear campaign

Who I can get drunk with. Who I can go on holiday with. Who knows my deepest, darkest secrets.

Who I trust with my life.

Some people don’t understand how my best friend and I are ‘just friends’.

How we can be so close without any ulterior motive.

Why?

Because my best friend is a boy. And, as such, everyone thinks we are at it like rabbits.

Dating is a minefield.

Whether it’s your friend’s boyfriend’s mate you’ve been set up with or an online date you’re finally meeting, there can be no denying that, when it comes to first dates, the one thing everyone will have in common is a healthy dose of nerves.

My recent article about ‘willy-cloning’ was greeted with such interest and hilarity on social media that the company responsible for the kits – Empire Labs, of Portland, Oregon – got in touch to ask if I fancied trying out a female version, the charmingly named ‘Clone a Pussy‘.

My immediate reaction was ‘of course I will, send it over!’

But once I’d got the box in my sweaty paws I had second thoughts.

Was I really prepared to take a mould of my own genitals and show the end result to the world?

Dating somebody who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder isn’t a walk in the park – just like any other relationship. 

Teenage athlete with cerebral palsy stars in major new active wear campaign

You shouldn’t worry or get swept up in the fear that bipolar disorder may be anything like what you’ve read about in a book or seen portrayed in a film.

Everyone is different, everyone deals with it differently and there are support networks to make sure you are never under too much pressure.

Throw out your carefully spiralised courgetti. Stop replacing your bread with thinly sliced bits of sweet potato. Get rid of the avocado and give your burger a proper bun.

All your healthy versions of your favourite foods might not be doing you any good.

It turns out that taking healthy foods like vegetables and dressing them up so they can masquerade as junk food could be a massive mistake when it comes to getting fit.

Why? Because the mental gymnastics required to eat courgette ‘pasta, avocado ‘ice cream’, and the avocado ‘bun’ could end up backfiring on us.
