There is no denying that ’50 Shades of Grey’ has whipped up quite a storm since it was first released in 2011, with home county housewives creaming their proverbial cupcakes over the BDSM relationship between Christian Grey, a multi-millionaire control freak with a taste for cable ties and duct tape, and his subservient secretary, Anastasia.

And so it continues with E L James’s latest release, ‘Grey’ – the sequel to the trilogy, allowing us to ‘see the world of Fifty Shades of Grey anew through the eyes of Christian Grey.’

With literary contributions such as ‘grabbing her, I flip her over, keeping her fine, fine ass in the air …thank f**k, wordlessly I come, pouring myself into… Read the full story

The number of passengers who travel along the line increased 10 percent for the year to March 2007 from the previous year, credited to Tama after the "stationmaster" cat appeared at the unmanned small station.

Your barista’s latte art is about to go next level. And even more pretentious.

Because there’s a new gadget on the market, called the Ripple Maker, which can print anything you fancy in foam – including your own face.

The Ripple Maker uses 3D printing techniques and printable coffee extract stored in ‘Ripple Pods’ to create customised designs in just 10 seconds.

It connects to a website, or an app, where customers can select their preferred design from an online library – or upload their own pictures/selfies.

We may be approaching the end.

Why so gloomy you ask? Well, here are just a few signs – the world’s first robot ‘that can feel’ has gone on sale, twerking’s just make it into the Oxford English Dictionary, and someone’s just deep fried a Big Mac.

Because what your favourite McDonald’s Friday night post pub treat needed was some extra bread crumbs and a whole lot of oil, no?

That’s not to say we wouldn’t try it of course. Because, y’know, what a way to go.

This beauty/monstrosity (depending on your POV) is the handiwork of food porn blog PeepMyEats and it’s pretty simple to do yourself at home – if you have a death wish.

You just need a fresh Big Mac, two eggs (beaten), a pack of Panko breadcrumbs, and some really hot oil.

This is depressing.

Women who say they are fed up of feeling judged by feminists, and believe they are further dividing the sexes, are now turning to ‘meninism’ in protest.

Meninism is a campaign, spearheaded by the Meninist Twitter account, that claims to fight for equality for men.

While the Twitter account purports to be ‘just a joke’, and says it shouldn’t be taken seriously, it often shares sexist posts that many find offensive.

Be still our greedy hearts.

Behold the beauty that is the Bourbon and custard cream ice cream sandwich.

Bourbons and custard creams have long been Great British biscuit faves, and now in a quite frankly genius move, Asda have transformed them into ice cream form.

The Bourbon sandwich features chocolate ice cream between two Bourbon biscuits, whilst the custard cream sandwich is one for the vanilla crew.

Basically, they’re both totally delicious, and have blown every other ice cream option out of the water.

Gingers are coming in from the cold.

Inspired by similar events in Holland and Edinburgh, a group of feisty red heads are bringing a ‘ginger fest’ to South-West England.

The gathering of gingers is being planned for next summer (suncream at the ready), and organiser Stuart Parry is already planning the event, with the help of his red army.

Last weekend, the 43-year-old pizza delivery driver from Lipson held an open meeting in his local pub to get ginger pride underway.

‘The meeting went really well, and as well as myself and my wife, three other people turned up. One is pro-wrestler and one is a musician. We all sat and talked about how we’d like to do it,’ said Stuart.

Want to totally freak our your fellow drivers?

Then, you need one of these hyper-realistic human head helmets.

They’re digitally designed by Dubai-based artist Jyo John Mullor.

He explains on his website: ‘All my life I have always been a passionate motorcyclist. I love everything about motorbiking but the helmets. The most uncomfortable gear you could ever wear.’

However, he acknowledges, that helmet could one day save his life. So, Jyo began Project Human Helmet. He set about designing a crash helmet that would feel – and look – just like a second skin.

It’s hardly surprising when you think about it, but science has confirmed that festival wristbands are basically bacteria magnets of doom.

If you’re one of the many people who likes to wear their festival wristbands like a badge of honour the whole summer long, you may want to think again.

A study by microbiology professor Dr Alison Cottell has discovered that cloth wristbands are a breeding ground for bacteria, containing more than 20 times more bacteria than clothes.

Dr Cottell tested two bands which had been on a fan’s wrist since Reading Festival 2013 (vom), and discovered a concentration of staphylococci and micrococci… Read the full story

Tricia Rhynold’s seven-year-old son Timothy has severe autism spectrum disorder. He also ‘loves and plays with all of his heart,’ according to mum.

Timothy’s condition means he needs extra help at school and he sometimes struggles to make friends and join in with their games.

Although he receives lots of invitations to birthday parties and gatherings from classmates, Tricia says she has to decline them all – despite how much it upsets him.

Rick Owens courted controversy last season with his seminal ‘visible penis’ collection, but, this time round, he’s had controversy thrust upon him.

Halfway through his spring/summer 2016 menswear collection in Paris today, one of his models – known as Jera – unfurled a small protest banner, which read: ‘Please kill Angela Merkel. Not.’

Throwback Wayne’s World disclaimer aside, the designer was reportedly furious at the model, described as his ‘muse’ by GQ, for using his catwalk as a political platform.

According to WWD, Owens told them: ‘It’s a crazy, rogue, f***ing model that I punched when he came back out.’

He added: ‘Please say that I punched him.’

Don’t play with your food!

Sorry mum and dad, but when you’re a child, food isn’t just food – it’s a fun playstuff to be shaped to your every whim. Picking it up and putting it in your mouth is SO boring.

When we were kids, we liked to be creative about how we consumed our food. Given that it was all bought for us (unless you were on mega-pocket money when you were 7), doing weird stuff with it was all we had to make it ours.

So here are the utterly bizarre things we all did with our food when were children. Eugh!

Tea is apparently the new beer (Picture: Vimeo/ Brew)

London may be about to get a pub dedicated to tea.

Brew – which is currently in Crowdfunding stage (obviously) – is the brainchild of tea aficionado and self-proclaimed ‘Entrepreneur and leader of teams’ Alex Holland.

Alex believes loose leaf tea far superior to the bagged stuff, and states that Brew’s mission statement is to ‘restore prestige to our national drink, by converting you to loose leaf tea.’

So, what exactly can we expect from a tea pub?

‘Brew is a place which serves exceptional tea, but instead of in a starkly lit café it’s got the rich atmosphere of a pub.’

STIs are on the rise (Picture: PA)

It’s been revealed that Hackney, London’s hipster enclave, has one of the highest rates of STIs in the city.

Hackney shone out for all the wrong reasons in a report by Public Health England (PHE).

The borough not only has one of the highest STI rates in London, but has the highest rate of chlamydia in 15 – 24-year-olds in the country, with 4,270 residents per 100,000 testing positive for the disease.

Despite it’s trendy reputation and sky-high house prices, Hackney is still one of the most deprived boroughs in London, and that is thought to be one of the main contributing factors behind these statistics.
