Parents swear the pesky Minions in their children’s McDonald’s Happy Meals are saying ‘what the f*ck’.

‘I heard what it said and I’m like, “whoa, hang on here,” dad Taylor King, who bought a Happy Meal for his three-year-old son this week, told My Fox 28. ‘It clearly says what it says.’

‘As soon as we heard it, her mum took it away,’ said Robert Frazier, another dad who bought who bought several Minion Happy Meals for his children. ‘I listened to it and that’s when we found out that’s what it was saying.’

As well as saying ‘WTF’, parents believe the disgruntled Minions are squeaking ‘I’ll be… Read the full story

Whether it’s for work, school, or love, uprooting to a different part of the world is no small feat.

Starting a new life in a new country takes guts, especially when it puts a lot of distance between you and your family.

For anyone who’s ever summoned up the courage and made the leap to a foreign land, here are a few things that you’ve probably experienced.

1. Enduring unwarranted lectures from your parents on staying safe in your new country

Yes mum and dad, I promise not to go out at night lest the magical hobgoblins you keep going on about attack me.

Man buns are cute. But baby man buns are The. Cutest.

Toddlers are now rocking tiny top knots on Instagram and it’s so adorable we want to bite those little buns off.

In fact, the only thing we love more than a baby man bun is coordinating father and son buns.

From chic chignons, to messy top knots, these hipster babes are on point.

There’s the Superman bun

Scotland may be famous for its castles, lochs and glens but what if you are looking for somewhere a little more exotic for your holidays?

Believe it or not, a trip around this little country can actually transport you to far off exotic corners of the globe.  From beaches that could easily be mistaken for the Caribbean to the streets of Philadelphia, Scotland may be small but it’s big on surprises.

Don’t believe me?  Here are 15 places you won’t believe are in Scotland…

1. The Wild West?

Although this street looks straight out of a Western, this Cantina and Jail are actually tucked away in Morningside, one of Edinburgh’s grand neighbourhoods.

And this one’s not even as good.

In the words of Regina George: ‘Stop trying to make it happen. It’s not going to happen.’

I love my job

PAs. They run the world. 

It’s just no one else has realised it yet.

PAs are in the unique position of virtually being able to do the boss’s job, yet still being everyone’s b*tch.

Without you, the office would no longer function, but do you ever get any thanks? Of course not.

But, that’s okay, you’ve already sent yourself some thank you flowers – on the boss’s account, of course.

Here’s 35 other things you’ll only understand if you’ve been a PA.

1. There is nothing fictional about the Devil Wears Prada.

2. IT will always let you down when you need it most.

3. And you’ll be the one turning it off and turning it on again in front of 200 people, sweating heavily, while the boss glares at you.

4. It becomes easier to choose their lunch than your own.

Oh, how quickly a lol can turn into a total f*cking nightmare, as young James McElvar found out this week.

The 19-year-old – who happens to be a member of Scottish boy band Rewind – thought he was getting one over on EasyJet. Unfortunately all he got was heat exhaustion.

It all started when the band tried to board an EasyJet flight from Stansted to Glasgow. While the rest of the band breezed through, James was told he had too much luggage.

Anyone who suffers from pre-menstrual tension will know that once a month it does not take a lot to totally lose your rag.

Here are a few things that really annoy me at that time of the month (written during that time of the month).

1. My partner

The love of the life becomes the most irritating human being on the planet when I have PMT. From the way he loads the dishwasher without rinsing the plates first, to the way he asks ‘are you ok? (‘Err no, I am not OK because I am picking crap from the dishwasher filter you idiot!’)

The slightest thing winds me up. Breathing too loudly, walking too fast, looking at his phone when I am giving him an informative lecture about how dishwashers are… Read the full story

The sole reason we start from the bottom, undertake training and work our backsides off is to climb that ladder.

But what happens when we reach the top and suddenly we’re overseeing everything? Is the pay increase and the glory worth it?

There are days you seriously question it when you’re the boss or in any kind of authoritative position at work.

Suddenly you’re wondering if the rewards of your new position are worth these 21 daily horrors you are forced to endure now that you’re the big cheese.

Chinese woman throwing a fit on the subway

We’ve all been there. Your phone dies, and for 30 long, hard, seconds, it feels like the world may have actually just ended.

But then you take a deep breath, have a word with yourself, and realise that you’re being a total dick.

… unless that is you’re this woman, who threw the mother of all sh*t fits on the Hong Kong subway.

Now we’ve thrown our own fair share of tantrums, but this one really takes the biscuit. From her high-pitched wailing, to the moment she flings her flip flop across the carriage, it’s a masterclass in being a class A diva.

Justin Bieber shared a picture of his naked butt with the world on Instagram this week.

And then Chrissy Teigen shared a photo of John Legend’s quivering cheeks – the latest shot fired in their tit-for-tat over her ‘unacceptable’ nipples.

But, before Bieber, before the Legend, there was Jeremy Levenbach.

He’s a New York comedian and in his spare time, he runs the brilliant levenbutt Instagram account, where he posts pictures of his naked posterior, for posterity.

He’s been doing it for three years and his bare butt – ‘I look silly naked’ he says – has been all over the Big Apple.

A teenage girl, whose right leg swelled to twice its size, hopes to inspire others with her body-confident bikini picture.

Isa-Bella Leclaire was born with Parkes Weber Syndrome, a rare disorder of the vascular system, which caused her right leg to swell to 40lbs (2.8 stone).

Lymphatic fluid in her body flows into the leg and, she explains, ‘because the system doesn’t work properly it doesn’t go back, so it stays there and swells my leg.’

The 19-year-old student was left unable to play sports or wear tight clothing.

But, she’s refused to let it hold her back. She now hopes her bikini picture will inspire body confidence in others, and help raise awareness… Read the full story

Cheese and pickle is one of the most beautiful relationships in the foodie world.

But you know what’s better than just cheese and pickle? Cheese and pickle encased in a juicy beefy pocket.

And that’s exactly what you get with Marks and Spencer’s new cheese and pickle burger.

The Ploughams-inspired offering is part of M&S’ new summer range, and has, in our opinion, totally blown all other supermarket burgers out of the water.

Honestly, we’re all for spending hours slaving away in the kitchen, but really, don’t bother. This burger is the one.

Meet Bonsai. The little English bulldog pup was born on April 17 with just half of his spine, no pelvis and malformed rear legs.

But, the little cutie is all heart.

According to the rescue centre in Arkansas where he lives, he’s thriving despite living with a combination of rare genetic disorders.

Bonsai was born with caudal regression syndrome, and sacrocaudal dysgenesis, combined with a variation of spina bifida.

After his owners realised they weren’t able to care for him properly, he was taken in by Friends of Emma, a rescue centre that helps dogs with special needs in Fort Worth, Texas.

The centre called him Bonsai because he’s ‘a little tree to be molded and shaped.’

It’s a Saturday in July, so the chances are high that you are currently on your way to a wedding.

Saturdays used to be about lying in the park with a picnic and some Prosecco, or playing football – now they are about dusting off that old suit/buying a new dress and heading off to someone’s wedding.

Thankfully, weddings tend to be great fun. You’re ferried around and fed for free and get to see your friend or family member beam their way through the best day of their life.

Every wedding is different, of course, but that doesn’t mean that every wedding doesn’t share common threads.
