The end of a relationship comes with all sorts of strong emotions. – some of which are responsible for making us say the stupidest things.

When love is at stake or heartbreak beckons, we have all said things we regret later.

So when someone on Reddit asked the question: ‘What’s the dumbest thing an ex ever said to try and win you back?‘, it’s no surprise there were plenty of confessions.

Here are some of the best ‘please take me… Read the full story

A loving husband's romantic gift to his wife is just the ticket - the double-decker bus where they first met. Ken Morgan was a young RAF airman when he caught the eye of an 18-year-old conductress working on the country bus route. Ken, then 22, began chatting to pretty blue-eyed conductress Shirley on the Red and White Route - and now they are about to celebrate 60 years together. Pictured here are Ken & Shirley. © WALES NEWS SERVICE

After an 18-month ‘co-creation’ process, Seat and Cosmopolitan have launched the SEAT Mii by COSMOPOLITAN – described as ‘the perfect car for confident, independent, active young women who are really going places’.

Finally! A car just for women. So, we no longer have to put up with those ugly, impossible-to-park, man cars.

Susanne Franz, Seat’s global marketing director, said that the new model was the brand’s ‘most feminine car’ ever and ‘a tribute to the modern woman’.

The car, which is available in two colours – Violetto and Candy White (no pink, sorry) – is a special edition of Seat’s Mii model, but with extra touches and accessories… Read the full story

First women were eating their placentas .

Now they’re making trinkets out of their babies’ umbilical cords.

Ashly McClough is the director of Blissful Womb Birth Services which offers placenta encapsulation (for the mother to eat) as well as ‘Prints & (dehydrated) Cord Keepsakes’ for $50 (£37.80).

She told the Daily Mail: ‘Placenta encapsulation was traditionally seen as a pretty crunchy or natural mama thing to do, but in recent years, mothers from all walks of life are choosing encapsulation and love the keepsakes that accompany it’.

Back in January, I7-year-old Izzie was as happy as can be. 

Totally loved up with her boyfriend, she decided to let him know just how happy he made her by buying him some gifts.

As he had texted her about his anguish at not being able to afford any new games, she turned up at his house and surprised him with the then-new Call of Duty.

Of course, Izzie took a few snaps so that she could remember how happy she’d made him that day – and then she posted them to Twitter too, under the caption: ‘Boys like to be spoiled too!’

One mum has proved she’s the ultimate Stranger Fans after a recent trip to Comic Con saw her accompanied by little Eleven. 

You see, Kelly Crawford, a photographer and mother to two beautiful girls, simply couldn’t go and have fun without her two daughters, so she decided what better way to bring them along than to dress them up.

In a series of wonderful photos, Eleven was accompanied by Joyce as they perfectly channelled the characters – showing other fans of the show how cosplay is done.

A new mum from Salt Lake City, US, is being applauded by thousands after a photo of her pumping breast milk while participating in a half-marathon went viral. 

Anna Young signed up for the half-marathon before she learned she was pregnant, and, having been unable to run before signing up due to an injury, she was determined not to let anything – including being a new mum – get in her way.

On September 10, Anna ran her half-marathon, five months after the birth of her daughter. And it just so happens that she was caught on camera, pumping as she ran.

In world where cars are being especially designed for lady drivers and schoolgirls are sexually harassed every day, it’s nice to have something 100% gender-positive to shout about.

H&M have just released their new autumn 2016 campaign ad and it’s a complete corker.

Set to a new version of Tom Jones’ She’s A Lady, we see what it is to be a ‘lady’ completely redefined – whether that’s a girl with a buzz cut or afro, a girl eating chips in bed or spreading out on the Tube.

It turns out we’ve been getting it all wrong with our efforts to being crowned prom king and queen.

It’s not about the best suit, the best hair, the fleekiest makeup or the most Disney-like dress.

It’s about being a dinosaur.

No, really. One Twitter user, Sarah Macdonald, can prove that. Because she nailed prom and all of its endeavours dressed as a T-Rex – and she took the crown home..

Sarah, a student at Colorado Springs Liberty High, was crowned the Homecoming Queen dressed in a large T-Rex costume that towered much higher than anyone else in heels – and it came complete with a cute little yellow tutu. A dinosaurs got to make some form of effort, after all.

When it comes to arranged marriages, it’s only fair to assume that there’s a chance you might not share all the same interests. 

But while some are negotiable, it seems as though there are some which are really not.

That’s something Karishma Walie, who’s originally from Bengaluru, is currently dealing with.

Karishma had been in talks about an arranged marriage to a man from New Delhi.

One 26-year-old man has proved you don’t have to be a woman to know one after being accidentally added into a WhatsApp group filled with excited mothers who were planning a hen-do. 

IT worker Luke Price, from London, was added to the group ‘Nikki’s Hen Party’ after one of the mothers entered in a wrong number.

An easy mistake, we know. But one that Luke took full advantage of.

Instead of letting the mums know their mistake, he decided to join in on their conversation in an attempt to lead them wild. And how did he do that? By unleashing his alter-ego, Anna the Slamma. A woman who just wants… Read the full story

It’s just life that not everyone will always get along. 

In the adult world, it’s sometimes easier – unless you work with them or live with them, you can usually choose never to have to see that person again.

But when you’re a kid, still in school, it’s a totally different matter.

And everyone has different ways of handling it.

After calling another child an ‘asshole’, this cheeky chap was sent to the headteacher’s office, where he was asked to fill out a form to explain his bad behaviour.

As models prepare to hit the catwalk for London Fashion Week, protesters are calling for greater diversity in size and disability in fashion.

A new campaign is demanding the major fashion event includes two different-sized models in every range, who are at least a size 12 or above.

The recent heatwave means the BBQ season has been extended, with more of us firing up the barbecue rather than sweating over a hot stove indoors.

Barbeque is the closest to the original type of cooking – over a fire. As humans we are the only animals that cook; our big brains are due in part to the extra nutrients we get from foods when they are cooked.

I maintain it’s almost impossible to feel sad when you are in front of a fire or a BBQ. The primeval essence of fire is life affirming, balancing, grounding.

There is only one problem: meat eaters are always catered for at barbies, but… Read the full story

Remember the days of sitting in a park with a bottle of Strongbow because you were too young to carry anything but your school ID? 

It was always so hard to get hold of the booze – and you’d end up begging passers-by to go in and buy you something.

But apparently one guy who totally understands where we’re coming from grew sick of waiting – and went to extreme lengths to make sure he could buy his own booze at the shop: a giant bottle of 20/20.

And how did he do it? By dressing up as his mother. Seriously.

The former Disney Television Animation employee had arranged a ‘Happily Ever After’ photo shoot at Disneyland and the dresses, makeup artist and photographer were already booked.

So, like a truly modern Disney princess, she became the hero of her own story.
