Social media can be a great thing. But for all its benefits, it is also full of make-believe, with people only sharing their ‘best’ side, the side they want others to see.

Hurrah for scientists because they may have saved the future of gin (well, rare gin anyway).

One of England’s rarest plants – the lizard juniper – has been saved from extinction by conservationists.

The Lizard juniper is a subspecies found in only one location in the country on Cornwall’s Lizard peninsula.

Just six years ago, the population had dwindled to only 13 plants in the wild and with so few plants, it was at risk of being wiped out by a wildfire or grazing animals.

It’s only mid-November but already we’re surrounded by annoying Christmas music and Christmas adverts. And, of course, all our favourite sandwiches have been banished from regular cafes and supermarkets in favour of turkey and cranberry sauce sarnies.

Now, we all love a Christmas sandwich but five weeks of sandwiches with cranberries in them is a lot.

We don’t always like to get bogged down in toilet chat but some things just need to be said. Whether it’s pungent aromas, poor hygiene or lack of public bathroom etiquette, the necessity of going to shared toilets when caught short could be a heck of a lot more pleasant than it currently is. 

Ideally, we would all simply like to use our own bathrooms and those alone. But that’s not always practical – so here are 12 awkward things which all men will have experienced when needing to empty their bladders or bowels at work, in a pub or nightclub or while out and about.

If you haven’t heard of the Bad Sex in Fiction prize before, you’re in for a treat.

Sure, you may have read Fifty Shades of Grey and been left confusingly aroused despite Anastasia Steele’s repeated references to her vagina as her ‘sex’.

But that’s probably because author EL James never referred to an erect penis as a ‘bulbous salutation’.

Yeah, that’s how Morrissey decided to describe a d*ck in his debut novel List of the Lost, winning the award last year as a result.
