If you’re a cat owner, you’ll know that cats can be bizarre. 

12 odd cats who don't quite know how to cat

They’ll meow at the door demanding to go out, yet once they’re outside they’ll do nothing but sit on the doorstep.

You’ll buy them lovely, warm, expensive beds – but they’ll still choose to sleep in that cardboard box that is now blocking the hallway because your furry friend won’t allow you to get rid of it.

I consider myself a bit of an expert in the ways of teenagers.

My eldest daughter, Bee, is now 21. She turned 20 just two and a half weeks before my younger daughter turned 13.

This man proposed to his girlfriend in front of the Northern Lights and it was incredible

I had two and half weeks when I wasn’t the mother of a teenager – a tiny respite in what is going to be 14 years of teenagerdom (definitely a word).

When you’re a man, it can be difficult to understand just how much everyday sexism women have to deal with.

This London restaurant is serving burgers smothered in melted cheese

Women tell you stories and (if you’re a decent human being) you believe them. But it’s impossible to truly experience what women go through on a daily basis.

One man, called Martin Schneider, stumbled upon a way to get a tiny glimpse of the sexist nonsense women have to deal with.

Two years ago, Martin was sending work emails and realised that he’d accidentally been signing off as Nicole, his female colleague.

Burgers are good. Melted cheese is also good.

Put the two together, and we’re not going to be too disappointed.

If, like us, you strongly agree with the concept of an extremely cheesy burger, it’s probably worth getting down to Maxwell’s restaurant in Covent Garden, stat.

Because they’ve just started serving a magical thing called a Burger Cheesebomb.

A Burger Cheesebomb is a beef burger, but absolutely drenched in hot melty cheese sauce.

There comes a time in every fashion-y person’s life when they see an article of clothing and simply do not understand it.

Hey, remember that time a chiropractor unveiled Mensez, a ‘feminine lipstick’ designed to glue your labia shut and seal in your period?

You’re basically saying you want to spend the rest of your life with this one person.

They’ll satisfy all of your needs, and whatever life may throw at you both, you’ll weather the storm and get through it together.

If you have found that soulmate, then that’s great – off you go down the aisle to say ‘I do’.

But if you’ve not had much relationship experience, then hold your horses.

Trudging round to view room after room, telling the same tired anecdotes in your 15-minute slot, waiting for a text message that never comes or says ‘we gave it to a friend’ – the flat hunt is hell.

But doing it when you don’t have a full-time job? It’s impossible.
