Oh commuting how I loathe thee, let me count the ways.

From getting up at 6am to standing in the aisles for hours despite having paid thousands for an annual rail pass, it can certainly be trying.

And as if delayed and cancelled trains, replacement bus services, messy carriages and loos that would make Kim and Aggie weep weren’t enough there’s all your fellow commuters to put up with.

While most are just average Joes just doing their best to get to and from the daily grind, there are some sent by Satan to torment us all.

Here’s the 21 most despicable people you will meet on your daily commute.

Controversial artist Saint Hoax has created a series of images of Disney Princesses with period stains.

Posting the images on his Instagram, the Middle Eastern artist explained that the images were inspired by a real life situation, saying: ‘A (girl) friend of mine went on a date 2 weeks ago. Halfway through dinner, she had a period leak that left a bloodstain on her skirt. Her date didn’t handle the situation well; she could tell he was uncomfortable. As the night came to an end, he said he would call her the next day…’

You could go into a carb coma just looking at it.

There is indeed a place where you can get giant 54″ pizzas in their own custom-made takeaway boxes.

What a time to be alive, etc. etc.

The pizza feast is made by Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria – they have restaurants all over LA, and they were the pizzeria of choice for Ellen during the 2014 Oscars, so, yeah, they’re Oscar-worthy too.

Meet Remy. He looks like a basset hound and floats like a butterfly. Sort of.

The puppy was chilling in the attic room of his three-bed in West Sussex last week, when he spotted a cat on the street outside.

So, he dived out of the third-floor window (which had been left slightly ajar) in pursuit. But, according to his owners, his fall was broken by his giant ‘Dumbo’ ears.

The basset hound escaped with only minor injuries despite falling 30 feet onto the concrete pavement.

‘I don’t know if he was trying to glide down or if it was his ears that saved him. It’s just a miracle,’ said owner Suzi Lane.

Your cousins are like siblings, but better.

They are the first friends that you’ll make, and the fact that you’re family too means you’re unlikely to lose touch as you grow older.

Here’s how you know that your cousin is your BFF.

1. They know everything 

They know EVERYTHING about you, and this extends way beyond the usual favourite movies and favourite types of cheese knowledge. They know this, plus all the weird stuff, like how you can only eat food from a certain shaped plate.

2. Embarrassment? What embarrassment? 

You’re never embarrassed in front of them. This is probably because they’ve witnessed the most embarrassing things that’s ever happened to you, such as wetting yourself in Tesco as a child.… Read the full story

What are we humans like?

We spend all of our teenage years wishing we could break free from home and embrace independence and then when we do make that big move, we wonder if we did the right thing.

Missing home can be quite an overwhelming sensation, particularly if you don’t live in easy travelling distance.

Here are the things you will be able to relate to if you have ever suffered from homesickness.

1. Phone calls last forever. And sometimes you phone home for nothing at all. Your mum’s hour long stories are not long enough anymore.

A 12-year-old girl has apparently penned a heartbreaking note following the death of her cat.

The note – which was posted through letterboxes in Ferntree Gully, just outside Melbourne, Australia – claims to be written by a 12-year-old named Brooke.

It explains that her cat has passed away, after returning home with a shaved back – although it doesn’t expand on how this led to its death.

Heartbreakingly Brooke states ‘You know what it’s taught me that adults are cruel.’, before finishing with the line, ‘I have just lost my best friend’

If this doesn’t get the party started, we don’t know what will.

It’s National Tequila Day, which is great, because everyone knows tequila is the finest spirit on the planet.

But before you head out to down toxic shots of cheap stuff, may we suggest that you try something a little more sophisticated.

Enter World of Zing’s Persian lime and nori seaweed ready-made margarita.

Talking us through this unusual combination, World of Zing explain: ‘The cocktail starts off as a blend of award-winning Ocho Blanco and Reposado Tequilas and agave syrup.’

If, like us, you think all water tastes pretty much the same and, in fact, you’re not completely convinced it even HAS a taste, then prepare to be amazed.

The Merchant Hotel in Belfast has launched a new luxury water menu, with an incredible 13 different types of water to choose from. And that doesn’t even include tap.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, the staggering selection of aquas have been ‘curated’ from around the world, and include rare vintages from France, Fiji, and Newfoundland.

Prices start at £4.95 (presumably for the ‘house’ water) and go all the way up to £26.45 per bottle.

We know. Our inner basic b*tch is shocked too. But, sales of Diet Coke have fallen significantly over the last year – according to Coca Cola.

It’s totally lost its fizz.

According to the company’s latest results, global sales of DC have fallen 7 per cent in the last year, following a steady decline since 2008.

This despite sales of regular Coke, Coke Zero and Sprite increasing.

Sandy Douglas, president of Coca-Cola North America, attributed the declining sales to an increased focus on fresh food and concerns about sugar substitutes.

Balancing money for books, booze and a bed to sleep on can be tricky for students but it looks like Belfast has got it down.

The Student Living Index, created by Natwest, shows cash-strapped students which cities their money will go furthest in.

Soon to be students who are fretting over pennies should think about going to Belfast which took the number one spot for cost effectiveness. Although if you’re a party animal apparently Portsmouth is the most economic city for going out and drinking.

Here’s the scoop, for one afternoon only Uber are giving away ice cream.

Uber have teamed up with Wall’s to bring some Friday afternoon cheer to the office. Until 7pm this evening the taxi company are delivering ice cream to work places across the city.

They say: ‘If your office is more water cooler than paddling pool and sunbathing by the window is generally frowned upon, don’t sweat it… We’ll be bringing you your very own ice cream parlour on demand – completely free – with a little sprinkling of nostalgia.’

We’re guessing they didn’t check the weather forecast as a hot chocolate seems more apt in this weather than a mint choc chip scoop.… Read the full story

From all-night chippies to all-day brekkies, Liverpool loves to eat. And, these days, our food and drink scene is in better shape than ever.

From Bold Street’s vibrant indie-scene, to the slick and shiny restaurants of the Commercial District, the city promises to put on a memorable spread. So, what’ll it be? Indian street food, or Portuguese tarts?

1. A good day starts with a great breakfast – but a great day starts with a Mexican breakfast. A street food sharing platter will put a spicy spring in your step at Lucha Libre.

2. Then again, you can’t beat the full English, especially when it’s as good (and waistband tightening) as you’ll get at City Cafe for just £3.95

3. In Liverpool we love getting sociable and sharing our scran. Salt House Bacaro brings tapas from Venice, with great little plates of perfection.  Try the black pudding with chicken livers.

It’s been a bad week for cheaters.

First up there was the Ashley Madison hack, and now a woman has been outed for apparently sexting another man while at a ball game with her husband.

Ouch.

The woman was outed by two Twitter users – sisters (and expert spies) Brynn and Delana Hinson – who were sitting behind the couple at an Atlanta Braves baseball game on Wednesday.

They claim the woman was sexting a man named Mark Allan, who was suspiciously saved in her phone under the name Nancy.

Finally, what all the ladies have been waiting for – a sex doll that looks creepily realistic. 

No longer just replicating women, Californian company Sinthetics are now creating male versions of ‘life sized, fully articulated, anatomically correct sculptures’.

Because clearly that’s what we’ve been missing all our lives.

Starting from a hefty $25,000 (over £16,000) the dolls can be fully customised to create the man of your dreams with the eye and hair colour you’ve always desired. There’s even the option for tan lines and tattoos.
