Admittedly, we’ve never watched Game of Thrones and been overwhelmed with hunger for whatever the characters are eating on the show.

Horror? Sure. Hunger? No.

Why I didn't add my partner on social media

The wine looks good though.

But for anyone who is desperate to eat food themed around an HBO show filled with sex and death, there’s now a bakery that’ll give you all the GOT-inspired carby wonders you could dream of.

Oh, and it’s run by Ben Hawkey, the guy who played Hot Pie in the show.

Deliveroo and Ben Hawkey have teamed up to create a bakery called You Know Nothing… Read the full story

Just after we learned that girls as young as nine are seeking surgery on their vaginas and vulvae in the UK, it’s become clear that the prevalence of labia-related insecurity is a global issue.

Brace yourselves: A Game of Thrones bakery is coming

A new study from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reveals that labiaplasty – meaning surgery to reduce the size or change the shape of the labia – is the fastest growing cosmetic surgery around the world.

In 2016, 45% more labiaplasty procedures were carried out than there were in 2015.

‘Ooh that’s lovely! Where’s it from?!’ cooed a work contact I’d met up with for a coffee. The item in question was an orange A-line dress with a feather print.

Why I didn't add my partner on social media

My reply was tinged with a trill of triumph that never gets boring. The big reveal. The shock news that nobody ever believes.

Nope, not some amazing vintage find, or a posh high street brand or the new Alexa Chung collection.

M&S.

‘No way!’ came back the familiar retort.

In many places around the world, children who are desperate to learn are forced to do so with limited space and resources.

Once young people are able to get hold of books, paper, and pens, they have to find a place to actually sit down, read, and write.

Many end up crouching over, leaning on walls, or sitting in uncomfortable positions.

Why? Because they don’t have access to a desk or chair.

It’s not something we often think about – the importance of a desk. But without one, it’s incredibly uncomfortable… Read the full story

‘K, love you, bye!’ Is something I say on the phone all the time. Even to call centre workers.

For me, an overly verbose, incredibly enthusiastic human, love is a feeling that I express multiple times a day. I love twiglets, I love your hair, I love that skirt, I love when someone sitting on the tube gets up one stop into my long arse journey and I can swoop in. To quote Love Actually, ‘love actually is all around’ – for me, anyway.

Ah, the 90s. When life was simple, Nokia’s were the best phones simply because they had ‘Snake’ on them and chokers and halternecks were in (and sadly frosted tips, but now’s not the time). 

Why is it so hard to say 'I love you'?

Just thinking back to the 90s makes us all nostalgic – whether that’s discussing fashion or our favourite Nickelodeon shows inked as tattoos.

But it seem there’s so much more to the 90s than Ren and Stimpy and crop tops – and people are talking about all the joys of the 90s over on Twitter,… Read the full story

Most devoted pet owners have a routine for their furry friends – when they eat, what they eat, how often they like to be petted, and when they’re due a bath.

Normally, this is totally easy, especially when you know your pet inside and out.

It’s when you pass that routine on to someone else who doesn’t know your pet quite as well as you that it becomes an issue.

Living across the road from your best friend is every kid’s (and adult’s) dream, right?

Imagine, though, if you couldn’t leave the front yard.

Why is it so hard to say 'I love you'?

That’s the predicament two Thailand-based four-legged besties found themselves in recently, as a yellow Labrador named Messy and a husky named Audi struck up a heartwarming friendship.

Audi’s owner is often away with work, leaving Audi distressed and anxious. Messy’s the one who’s there to keep him calm, though.
