Darts, dicks and dirty Scrabble: 6 quirky speed dating nights you need to know about
They say the average person’s attention span is just eight seconds.
Though that figure is debatable, when it comes to dating apps, eight seconds is a long time to consider a swipe — few profiles capture my attention for that extent of time.
But what about speed dating, where you’re given three to four minutes to converse with your potential future husband or wife?

A bar is serving boozy Tango Ice Blasts
We were gutted when we learned that Tango Ice Blasts are now going to be sugar free.
I mean, it’s a great step in terms of making things healthier, but come on, who really buys a cup full of what is essentially iced sugar liquid if they’re worried about their sugar intake?
One bar is attempting to make up for the lack of E-Numbers.
Jam Jar, a bar in Paisley, Renfrewshire, has created an alcoholic Tango Ice Blast, and it sounds incredible.

You can now get adult Heelys to roll around town like the legend you are
Walking everywhere can be tiring, amirite?
Some people combat this by using adult scooters but what they gain in speed they lose in street cred. Yes, we are all judging you. Especially when you use cycle lanes and get in everyone’s way.
A better option for tired humans is a Heely.

C’mon, remember? Those trainers with wheels in the heels that were popular with kids in the 90s? Around the same time we were all coveting sneakers with lights in the sole?

Why I don’t masturbate
In case you don’t have this monumental occasion written in capitals on your calendar, a reminder: May is Masturbation Month, a 31 day celebration of solo sex sessions.
Considering I’ve been quizzing everyone I know about masturbation and waxing lyrical about the benefits, I feel like it might be time to get personal.
I’m extremely pro-masturbation. I shout it from rooftops. I did it for a week at work for content reasons.
But the truth is that in the personal bit of my life, I don’t actually masturbate.
Ever.
I’ve masturbated before, obviously. That in-office session I mentioned, of course. I got quite into it when… Read the full story

The new addition to the Land of the Lemurs enclosure weighed about 30g when he was born – imagine if human children weighed this much.

The lamb lives inside the family house, after being brought indoors when she was poorly.
Jessica Hayes took pity on Lucy the lamb when she was four days old and sick with colic so brought her into the house to care for her overnight.

Is glycolic acid bad for your skin long-term?
Confession – I’m addicted to acid… Glycolic acid, that is.
With naturally dry skin, I thought it would peel my face off and leave me red and blotchy and horrible.
However, after getting a sample of Alpha H Liquid Gold in my M&S beauty advent calendar a couple of years back I’ve never looked back.
This miracle substance is a chemical exfoliant derived from sugar cane, which is used in chemical peels as well as in a more diluted format for at-home products.

Why my bipolar disorder makes me dread the spring time
As someone who lives with bipolar disorder, I absolutely dread May.
I have bipolar disorder type 1, which means I have more frequent, long periods of mania. I also have intense depression which can last for months.
But there seems to be a common theme with my manic and depressive episodes – depression normally hits in the winter, and mania in the spring and summer.
People tend to think mania sounds amazing. That it’s all big ideas, feeling on top of the world and totally unstoppable. Which, for many people, is the case.
But there are lots of negatives that come with mania: Taking risks, acting impulsively, making snap decisions, being… Read the full story
