When you start working somewhere new, you need to know who’ll turn a blind eye if you’re 10 minutes late in the morning, who’ll make you a decent cup of tea and the rules of the office.

This elderly pug has got her confidence back thanks to socks

But when you’re a journalist, a lot of the usual rules doesn’t apply.

Putting lube on our faces or sampling whisky at our desk is a pretty normal day.

But to my horror this morning I discovered a brand new rule, one so shocking that I could hardly process… Read the full story

The internet went into meltdown recently at the sight of a panicking baby iguana being chased by a seething pack of racer snakes on the BBC’s wonderful new series, Planet Earth II.

Viewers shrieked at their televisions, urging the little critter on and cheering when he finally made it to safety by the skin of his scales.

But a few of us would admit to being a tiny bit disappointed at the result. Cute as the little lizard was, all creatures need to eat – and that includes the slithery ones.

Poor snakes, going without… Read the full story

We all know that we should be taking care of ourselves.

This mum sends her daughter the most supportive replies to whatever she texts

We know we should be drinking more water, getting more rest, and viewing ourselves a little more kindly.

But knowing we’re supposed to be doing these things is much easier than, well, actually doing them.

We need constant nudges to keep us on the right track. We need reminders, so we don’t forget the stuff we need in the middle of work, tidying, and all the other bits and bobs… Read the full story

Adult colouring books became all the rage last year, as a way of relaxing, being more mindful and escaping the nightmare that is your life.

They began being full of mandalas, twee flowers and adorable wildlife scenes, and then fell into the hands of a less wholesome crowd, as most things tend to do.

Since then, you’ve been able to colour in sex positions, scenes from Fight Club and images from the Kama Sutra.

Now it’s the turn of the penis. The majestic, magnificent penis.

Muggles can now drink the purity, power and potency of nature’s most sacred steed.

Britain is about to be hit by a ‘sloe gin’ drought

That’s because a second batch of gin made from unicorn tears called ‘Unicorn’s Ruin’ has gone on sale just in time for both the new Harry Potter movie – Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – and Christmas.

This time around, the shimmering gin liqueur is claimed to be ‘made from real unicorn tears… created in a secret location, using our free range unicorn herd and our closely-guarded extraction process.’

The mythical spirit is been improved from last year, makers Firebox claim, because they have refined their emotion harvesting technology, resulting in ‘a bittersweet gin experience and an iridescent glittery appearance that will blow your mind’.

It adds: ‘To give unicorn tears their… Read the full story

It’s annoying when you order a takeaway and want an ice, cold beer to go with it, but can’t be bothered to go to the shop.

There are many nights where I’ve gone without because I’m too lazy to walk five minutes to the cornershop.

Luckily for people like me, Deliveroo have just announced they’ve teamed up with Heineken to birth a whole new brand called Brew House, which promises to deliver beer and cider to your door within 20 minutes.

Winner!

Misogynists might think that it’s only right and proper to keep their women chained to the kitchen sink, but they do so at their peril.

Unsurprisingly, it turns out that women are more likely to cheat on guys who lumber them with all the housework.

What was wrong with the word 'whilst'?

A new French study of over 10,000 women found that 73% were driven to infidelity because their partners failed to pull their weight domestically.

Gleedon, a site for married and unfaithful people, launched the poll to pinpoint the key reason women were tempted to cheat. 

86% of the women… Read the full story

We usually read stories about breastfeeding mothers being asked to move on – so it an interesting twist when it’s the person objecting who gets ejected.

That’s exactly what happened when a male diner at the Brook Bistro in Wales objected to mother of two Keely, 35, feeding her baby.

Keely and her husband Chris, also 35, had gone out for supper to celebrate the fourth birthday of their eldest daughter Matilda.

As Leia the pug got older, she found it increasingly difficult to walk across the wooden floor of her home.

She became pretty much immobile and lacked confidence, constantly fearing that she would slip down and hurt herself.

One simple solution changed everything: socks.

The moment Leia’s owner, Niki, puts socks on Leia, everything is different.

Bike helmets can be a right old pain – on the one hand they can reduce risk of serious head injury by up to 70%, and on the other they’re hot, bulky and ruin your god damn hair.

If you’re cycling to the pub, you don’t want to have to lug your helmet around with you all night, especially because there’s every chance you’ll leave it in the pub garden and never see it again.

Which is why collapsible bike helmets are the best idea ever, and this latest one has really caught our attention – it folds down to one third of its original… Read the full story

“Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.”

Mae West.

A poster girl for sexual independence and freedom of speech, Mae West knew only too well that being a bad girl meant having more fun.

Of course, she meant ‘bad’ in its most ironic form – shorthand for ‘doesn’t do as she’s told and certainly doesn’t see why she should follow anyone else’s rules’.

Mae’s mantra is one that works well even today – because whilst it’s nice to be nice, being bad means ignoring the nice girl social rules and learning… Read the full story

If you’ve been on Twitter over the last few hours, you may have seen the hashtag #thxbirthcontrol popping up all over your timeline.

No, ‘thx’ is not a cool new type of contraceptive pill.

We need to stop letting companies profit from our fear and confusion around vaginas

People are taking the time to thank their birth control for all it’s done to help them live their lives.

Why? Because as of last week, the reproductive rights of people in the US are under threat. As in, more so than usual.

Look, we’ve tried some weird cheese in our time.

But this one takes the (chocolate) cake.

The world's largest LEGO store has just opened in London

Melbourne-based cheesemonger Curds and Whey has started selling chocolate cheese.

But we’re not talking about a nice, delicate soft cheese swirled with chocolate. We’re talking about full-on blue cheese, ripened in chocolate liqueur, coated in cocoa powder, and topped with chocolate chips.

Super Size Me was an absolute mid-2000s classic. Watching Morgan Spurlock shove hundreds of Big Macs into his mouth pretty much put me off eating McDonald’s for life.

Morgan pushed his body (and mind) to the brink by eating McDonald’s for every meal for a month, in a bid to show the link between obesity and the fast-food industry.

Lizette Galvan is a 17-year-old makeup enthusiast and prankster who recently brilliantly used both of her talents on her boyfriend. 

A graphic designer has turned New York into a rainbow paradise

After watching a Star Wars Yoda makeup transformation video, Liz was inspired to try out one of the techniques herself. No, she wasn’t going to paint herself green – instead she just wanted to try out the eyebrow-hiding technique the makeup artist had used.

And then she had another idea. She’d try out the technique and trick her boyfriend into thinking she’d actually shaved her eyebrows off.

Liz used a washable glue… Read the full story
