And why wouldn’t they? It’s time-consuming, it can be painful, the bathroom sink is always covered in toothpaste by people who forgot to brush before they came, and let’s face it, the waiting room always smells weird.

But we go anyway, just to put our minds at ease that our teeth aren’t moments away from falling out when we feel the slightest touch of pain.

However, one dentist who realised his patients’ fears has attempted to make it easier on them – by giving them something to focus on as they undergo different procedures.

Spoiler alert: wedding dresses are expensive.

When you start looking for The Dress you will, at some point, have a meltdown about exactly how much you have to spend on an outfit you will be wearing once.

I don’t know about you, but the idea of spending two months’ rent on some fabric doesn’t exactly fill me with glee.

But there are ways around spending a ludicrous amount of dolla, don’t you worry yourself.

It goes without saying that it’s often much cheaper buying online or second-hand.

As for being ethical? Once bridezilla mode has been fully activated,… Read the full story

If you’re sick of your crap boss lording it over you then maybe it’s time for a change of scenery.

Rather than having to suck up to someone who commands no respect, you should be working for someone who was born to rule. Someone with a solid brand. Someone…like the Queen.

In a word, no (Picture: Getty)

Singles Awareness Day used to be on February 14 – until everyone with cognitive function realised that the acronym, SAD, was actually pretty humiliating for anyone who wanted to celebrate.

So the organisers came to their senses and cancelled the whole, ridiculous endeavour. Right?

Twitter users reveal the best ways to escape a date just in time for Valentine's

Or at least, you can’t afford to with rents the rates they are and the impossibly high first rung of that property ladder.

Years ago I found a magazine in a boyfriend’s porn stash that contained nothing but images of women in baths of gloop.

I thought it was amusing – who on earth would find slime sexy? – but was also intrigued.

Most of the women were clothed – there was surprisingly little flesh on display.

In case you missed it, today, February 15, is Singles Awareness Day.

This is a special day upon which we raise awareness for single people, designed to be celebrated by bitterly tweeting about being alone, laughing at ‘at least I’m not getting cheated on’ memes, and sobbing into a plate of nachos.

It’s the day after Valentine’s Day, because we truly have not suffered enough.

Second year. The year of near impending doom – the year where you really should have your act together.

It’s the penultimate year before you skip (reluctantly) into the big wide world – no, not the internet, but the place you’ve been dreaming of for years: Work.

Today in news that will change your sex life forever (seriously), Spotify has just revealed that a load of people in Australia are having sex to the Cantina Band song from Star Wars.

What is gaslighting? All about the disturbing trend affecting your relationships

Yup. The ‘doo doo doo doo do do do’ one performed by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes, a jazzy band of hairless aliens with excellent taste in knitwear.

It’s extremely catchy and, according to many Australians, deeply sexual. Right then.

Spotify has just revealed that over in Australia, the number one song added to playlists with the word ‘sex’ in their titles is the Cantina Band song from Star Wars.

This is so life-changing and brilliant that we genuinely want to run home and try to… Read the full story
