American modern dancer and choreographer Martha Graham once said: ‘Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.’
She was right. You don’t have to be Margot Fonteyn to be able to bust a move on the dance floor.

As someone with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, OCD and anxiety, it’s safe to say my mental health contributes much to the way I live my life.
But as much as it plays an influential part in my life, mental health is often stigmatised, and therefore I spend a lot of time putting on a front to make it seem to the outside world that everything is ‘A-okay’.
It doesn’t matter whether I’m living in the middle of a… Read the full story

All the veggie options have eggs, or cheese, or butter. All the vegan options are salads. Agh.
Sure, you can make your own meals every day, but all the prep is a load of faff. And on days when you forget, it’s a bit rubbish that you have to resort to sad salad leaves or crackers.
Which… Read the full story

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that a lot of the time when you go out for dinners, the starters are the best bit.

Professional prankster Obvious Plant is back – and this time he’s trolling a local middle school.
While he’s proved to be pretty hilarious when it comes to leaving false information around (remember when he decided to leave ridiculous facts all around a zoo, and then upped his game by leaving various fake submissions in a guest book) this time, he’s left us both laughing and wishing he really was a headteacher.
Because, let’s just say, if we had the rules he’s… Read the full story
