Bailing on social arrangements is a God-given right.
Just because you’ve made plans, doesn’t mean you have to see them through, and in no arena is that more true than dating.
Tinder has removed any responsibility from dating; the person you’re chatting to barely exists until you meet them – if you meet them. Therefore, there’s minimal guilt in cancelling a date arranged through an app.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: trust no fish.
After news that our sushi is not only often mislabeled with the wrong type of fish, but also might contain microbeads, we didn’t think we could take any more fishy betrayal.
But it just keeps coming.
We’ve seen some odd Tinder conversations in our time, but one of the oddest most certainly has to go to a girl named Carly, who managed to get through an entire conversation with her match by quoting the plot to Finding Nemo.
Carly had matched with a guy named Matthew, and instead of saying a simply ‘hello’, Carly decided to have some fun with her match, and started telling the story… Read the full story

But apart from being generally quite depressing, all this lack of sunshine could be having a detrimental effect on our physical… Read the full story
Dogs bring so much good to the world that there isn’t enough words in the dictionary to describe how simply amazing they are.
They’re there for you when you’re sad, they’re happy when you’re happy and apparently – they can become so invested in your relationship that they even FaceTime you.
Much like this fluffy pup, whose family were away for the weekend – but when he caught a glimpse of them over the phone, he… Read the full story
Some people need to be cut some slack – we’re still (sort of) getting over Christmas and New Year, people are very much feeling the January blues and let’s face it, there are some who are totally struggling with this whole Dry January thing.
People might also be struggling with Tryanuary – though we very much doubt it, let’s be honest.
But one person who doesn’t deserve any slack is Twitter user @SandalShagger (seriously), who is… Read the full story
Unless you’re one of those fancy wine types, you may not know that there’s no such thing as British champagne.
There’s no such thing as British prosecco either, technically.
The only thing better than free food is free wine. Everyone knows that.
Which is why you need to get yourself over to the East End or London Bridge next Thursday, where glasses of delicious Aussie wine are being dished out to celebrate Australia Day.
Australian wine brand McGuigan Wines are partnering with Grind & Co to offer a free glass of wine to anyone who darkens their doors.
For one day only, you can claim your free vino… Read the full story
Bargain hunters have been losing their minds over this for a little while, but now we finally know when the Boots 70% off sale is going to start.
It has become a January tradition and some thought they had worked out when the amazing offers were going to be unleashed, but they were proved wrong by the much-loved store.
Based on the timings of previous mega sales, most expected Wednesday 18th to be the day of the massive price-cut, some even took the day off work in preparation… Read the full story

Those who like their gin heavy on the juniper will love these herbal flavours.
Botanicals range from samphire, pine and rowan berry as well as including some unusual features like water drilled 30 metres down from Denmark’s glacial landscape.

Here are nine herbal gins well worth a try.
How much money do you spend on make-up?
Apparently the average woman in the UK forks out £140,000 over the course of her life time on hair and beauty.
Yeah. £140,000. As in, a decent proportion of a house.
So, reeling from that fact, we… Read the full story
The universe is full of great mysteries.
Where do we come from? What happens when we die? What came first, the chicken or the egg?
However, it is also full of some that are not-so-great.
Those smaller puzzles that we come across on a daily basis.
The questions that we regularly ourselves for which there are just no answers.
Here are a few mysteries I come across every day.
1. Why does the conditioner always run out before the shampoo? I use the same amount of both every time I wash my hair so how does this happen?
2. Why are there no matching socks? Where do all the odd ones go? I… Read the full story
When you think of festivals, you probably get flashbacks to past weekends of debauchery – fueled by chemicals, too much warm booze, too little sleep and D&B overload.
Festival season is a halcyon three month period where you can unleash your inner animal. Where your wretched job, crippling insecurities and health worries are put on hold and you return to your most primal state.
There is something beautiful and pure in its total impurity.
But if you are… Read the full story

It’s International Fetish Day so what better time to find out a bit more about a very specific fetish?
Melissophilia is when you’re sexually attraction to bees.
While it is very specific, you may be interested to know that fetishes involving insects, creepy crawlies and even spiders are a thing too.
But right now we’ll look at bees.
