On the internet at the moment is a piece of writing titled ‘six great dates that could lead to sex.’

The brilliant suggestions involve ‘go bar hopping’ because (and I’m quoting here) ‘booze = horny = sex’. Because what’s better than getting a woman drunk enough that she wants to sleep with you?

Those clamoring to be rescued at the US Embassy gates are personified by bar girl Kim in the musical Miss Saigon

When the Vietnam war ended in 1975, many tried to flee from the city of Ho Chi Minh City.

The Americans abruptly pulled out of South Vietnam, and its capital, commonly known as Saigon, causing a desperate scramble by thousands of the city’s inhabitants to get in one of the helicopters taking off from the US embassy.

And those left waiting at the closed embassy gates desperate to escape from the advancing North Vietnamese army included one famous, albeit fictitious girl Kim – the heroine of the musical Miss Saigon.

Writers can be a sensitive bunch at times.

It takes some guts to pour your heart and soul into an article or book that is free to be commented on by the general public.

However, it’s not always the anonymous trolls online ripping your latest piece of work to shreds that hurts the most – sometimes it’s supposedly well-meaning words from friends and family that can annoy and upset a writer.

If you’re a baker, you’ll know that using a whisk of any sort – electric, handheld, even the cute tiny ones for frothing up milk – is a load of faff.

Whisks make mixing seem like it’ll be so much easier.

Which it is, for a bit. Then you find yourself holding a whisk clogged with butter and sugar. You get caught in an endless cycle of whisking and scraping.

Everything is awful, and you worry that a tenth of your ingredients have now ended up on the end of your whisk.

Now, finally, someone’s come up with a solution.

Pictures of sad pugs + the internet = not a good mix. 

Especially when that sad pug is pictured absolutely longing for his owner outside of a Starbucks.

BuzzFeed suggested men should have sex with a bar of soap and people are losing it

How much more heart-brokenly millennial can you get, right?

But that’s exactly what was pictured and posted to Reddit by user Mograph_Artist. He posted a photo of the sad pug, face squished up to the glass of a Starbucks window as he waited for his owner to come back to him.

And of course, Reddit just couldn’t take it. They couldn’t take the glum look on the poor pup’s face nor the fact his nose was so very squashed from watching his owner so intently.

Having to listen to your neighbours having incredibly loud sex sucks. 

Especially when you’re single, and it’s just a overly loud reminder that you are forever alone. Sigh.

And that’s exactly what happened to poor Jenna Levine, a student at Syracuse University, who overheard her fellow students really going at it in their neighbouring dorm.

It was going on for so long and so loudly that Jenna decided she wasn’t going to stand for it any longer.

So, she took it upon herself to write them a candid note, which she slipped under their door.

However, many of us soon regret it when on waking the next day for work, we feel like our soul has been ripped out and sh*t upon.

How many nights have been hampered by fear of a returning hangover?

Well potentially, not anymore.

There were 5,700 new cases of female genital mutilation recorded in England in 2015-2016, the first annual statistics show.

Female Genital mutilation (FGM) is a procedure where the female genitals are deliberately cut, injured or changed.

This shelter builds dogs their own private cottages

It is also known as female circumcision or cutting. Such injuries include piercing, pricking, cutting, sewing together and removal of genital organs.

FGM has been illegal in the UK since 1985 and it is considered child abuse.

It is usually carried out on young girls between infancy and the age of 15, most commonly before puberty starts.
