I was diagnosed with anorexia in my early 20s.

You can get free a Subway meal tomorrow and here's how

If you’ve got no idea what the ‘Valentine’s day dress code’ means, then you’re not alone. 

‘What on earth’ I asked my editor this morning, ‘is a Valentine’s day dress code?’

My personal Valentine’s day dress code is going to involve wearing sweatpants cooking an M&S dine for two for £20. Possibly with some slutty pants on underneath. Maybe.

But in fact, the Valentine’s day dress code doesn’t refer to putting on a pair of clean pants, or even to googling whether or not you can get away with wearing flip-flops to a restaurant.

How much would you pay to travel the world and sip on the latest trendy cocktails?

You can get a free Subway meal tomorrow and here's how

Or rather, how much would you get paid, as Absolut is hiring someone to do just this.

The famous vodka brand’s ‘Sensory Expert’ is retiring after having explored ‘all the ways spirits are sensed and experienced’ for more than four decades.

People have found all sorts of odd things in their food.

Sometimes there will be a rogue hair. Maybe there will be a weird chewy bit that you hastily spit out, before putting the takeaway to one side and vowing never to order from there again, no matter how good their 2 for 1 meal deal is.

Or there could be a massive leaf sitting in your burrito.

Lately, Twitter users have been feeling very confused at the sight of this greenery in their takeaways, and have wondered what’s going on.

Believe it or not, Valentine’s Day existed before social media.

There was even a brief stretch of approximately 4.5 billion years when there were no mobile phones; a time when social media wasn’t even a twinkle in some would-be tech-bod’s eye.

Gin bus experts Gin Journey have just arrived in Bermondsey, offering a new bus route around south London’s best gin-drinking spots.
