The 13 most despicable people you will see at the cinema
The cinema, the pictures, the movies, the flicks.
It’s supposed to be a cheap and simple way to unwind.
A lazy date, an easy way to get the girls together, a fun family outing.
But there’s one problem.
Your average cinema is teeming with others seemingly intent on ruining your night.
Here’s the 13 most despicable people you will see at the cinema.
1. The lovers
I’m sorry you are 16 and out of your minds on hormones, the horn and the novelty of a member of the opposite sex letting you hook your fingers in their jeans belt loops.
I’m sorry you are too unimaginative to think of any other darkened space in which to suck each others’ faces off, too embarrassed to make out… Read the full story

One in four people return from a holiday more stressed than when they set off
If you find going on a massive stress, you’re not alone.
A recent survey has found that 23 per cent of people return from holiday more stressed than when they set off, which is obviously pretty rubbish.
The survey of 2,000 Brits also found that more than a quarter (26 per cent) of people took two to three days to truly unwind on holiday, while one in ten took between three to four days to hit their holiday stride – which isn’t ideal when you consider that the average holiday lasts just nine days.

People are using the #IfAnythingSchoolTaughtMe hashtag to debate school dress codes
The hashtag #IfAnythingSchoolTaughtMe is trending on Twitter.
Of course, many of the tweets have been for laughs – like it taught us to do our homework in under 10 minutes, to text without looking, and to forge your parents’ signature.
However, others are using the hashtag to express concerns over school dress codes.
Specifically, the importance given to what children wear – which sometimes feels more important than their education.

Bubble nails take nail art to a whole new level of crazy
You thought you’d seen it all when it came to nail art. You hadn’t.
Although ‘bubble nails’, also known as ‘hump nails’ have actually been around since 2009, the trend appears to have resurfaced recently. And it’s blowing up your Instagram feed.
The technique is achieved by building up acrylic in the middle of the nail and thinning it out around the edges, to create a curve. It’s up to the client how curvy they want to go.
Here’s how Nails magazine describe the process: ‘Bubble nails require building and sculpting of the acrylic until you get the look your client wants to achieve. You have to know exactly where the hump is supposed to be,… Read the full story

Whole Foods was mistakenly selling ‘asparagus water’ and people almost bought it
A Whole Foods labelling error almost made asparagus water the new ridiculous health drink fad. Almost.
This week, shoppers at Whole Foods in Brentwood, California spotted the new health drink, priced at $5.99 (£3.85) per bottle on the shelves. For just under four pounds, you got a bottle filled with water and three stalks of asparagus.
Was this the new maple water? Could Whole Foods get any more ridiculous? Are they becoming a parody of themselves? There were so many questions.
Alerted by bemused customers on Twitter, Eater called the store to investigate. They were initially told by an employee that the product was indeed new to the store. ‘We’ve had them… Read the full story

Checkout boy gets sassy with a menstruating woman; immediately regrets it
This is a cautionary tale.
A checkout boy got a little bit smart with a female shopper when she was purchasing sanitary towels and it didn’t end well for him.
Australian Lauren Jovanović was so enraged by the boy’s sass that she went home and posted a long rant on Facebook, directed at his employer Coles supermarkets.
‘Hi Coles. Just wondering whether your male checkout staff receive training on appropriate conversation and facial expressions to display while scanning female sanitary items, such as pads and tampons?’ she begins.

This artist creates epic food art of celebrities and film icons
Paint is so last year – Nadia Luongo makes incredible works of art using food instead.
The 29-year-old Italian turns pop culture icons from Audrey Hepburn to Batman’s Joker into playful tabletop artworks using materials like milk and sugar.
Luongo wrote on Talenthouse: ‘I really think that art can come from anywhere and inspiration can come even from simple things we use every day.’
Surprisingly, Luongo isn’t a professional artist – she is actually a Biomedical Engineering graduate, but says her real passion lies in art.
We think she should pursue her passion, because her food creations are epic.

People are losing their minds over these Nutella doughnut milkshakes and we don’t blame them
These Nutella doughnut milkshakes look so good we want to take them into a dark room and shut the door.
Online reviews include ‘holi crapoli’ and ‘it’s monstrous, but I want it’.
It looks like heaven in a giant jam jar.
The Tella Ball shake is a Nutella milkshake topped with a Nutella doughnut, through which a straw is threaded so you can drink the chocolatey shake through the actual effing doughnut.
The only downside is that is being sold in a cafe in Sydney, Australia. But, y’know, we’re willing to travel.

It’s time to improve your brow game with these daring looks
Thought your eyebrows were on fleek? Think again, because unless they’re covered in rings, gems or bold splashes of colour, your game just isn’t strong enough.
It all started back in 2014 when fashion brand Rodarte had their models stomp down the runway with brows adorned with silver rings.
Combined with subtle makeup, the faux piercings looked surprisingly feminine and caused a huge stir in the fashion world.
The golden era for eyebrows had been ushered in.
Ever since, brows have been taken to levels that make even Cara Delevingne’s famous arches look tame.

Road trip! Scotland’s version of Route 66 voted one of the world’s top five coastal drives
Two months ago, Scotland launched its answer to Route 66 – NC500 (aka the North Coast 500).
And it seems the marketing sell is already working, as the 500-mile coastline drive has been named in the world’s top five road trips.
The route was designed by the North Highland Initiative (NHI), set up by Prince Charles to showcase Scotland’s many charms, and it swings by some of the country’s most glorious scenery.
It may not have the Californian weather but it more than makes up for it with the views.

Dubai is building the world’s tallest residential tower, complete with indoor ski complex. Obviously
Dubai is known for its innovative high-rise buildings, and it seems the city doesn’t have plans to lose that crown any time soon.
Just check out the spec of the Dubai One Tower, which is set to be the world’s tallest residential building.
The tower will form part of a new complex called Meydan One, which is estimated to be costing upwards of 25billion dirhams (around £4.3 billion).
At 711 meters high, the Dubai One Tower will be more than twice the height of The Shard, and 285 metres taller than 432 Park Avenue in New York – the world’s current tallest residential building.
