Just because you’re a student facing the likelihood of being skint very soon doesn’t mean you can’t have a bit of luxury in your life.

These two students have proved that with a very impressive makeover of their new university bedroom.

Diptyque is launching car fresheners so everywhere you go will smell like wealth

They’ve fitted a fake brick wall to give that ‘loft apartment’ feel and decked out their dorm room with truck-loads of furniture.

They spent $2,400 (£1,877) on the makeover at Sterry Hall at Texas State University.

They enlisted the help of six friends and relatives to move in loft beds with customised headboards, a mini-fridge, faux-marble desks, a TV and white dressers.

The Daily Mail ran a story today which showcased a variety of men, all mourning for the fact that they can’t find a ‘good’ woman.

These men aren’t trolls. They’re not offensive to look at and they don’t seem like bad romantic prospects. Actually, they’re decent looking, solvent, perfectly normal seeming men. But they’re all happy to claim, publicly, that they’re swearing off women because they’ve been unable to find someone bearable to go out with.

Stuff’s better when it’s fizzy, right?

But water, sugary liquids, and juices. When they’re fizzy they’re significantly more fun.

Right. Let’s talk about pooing.

Yes, it’s private and no, it’s not very appetizing, but actually our reticence in talking about it can lead to health issues. The NHS says that so many of us feel embarrassed to say the word ‘poo’ that we won’t tell a doctor if something is worrying us.

The old north London vs south London argument has probably been going since the Roman’s founded the capital.

14 times being a born-and-bred Londoner was the best

But there’s no competition really – north of the river is clearly where all the best action is. The north has all the best parks, food and entertainment.

It must be pretty fantastic as a northerner to know that you have, in fact, made the much better choice.

Here are seven reasons why.

Let me start this by saying I don’t hate children.

I have two of my own, numerous nephews and nieces and spend plenty of time at places where there are lots of other people’s children too.

They don’t annoy me, I’m not one of those who only likes their own children and thinks everyone else’s child is a spoilt little monster.

And I’m definitely nothing like Roald Dahl’s Miss Trunchbull or Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker.

Kids and babies are great.

They are noisy, messy, free-spirited – and this is exactly why they shouldn’t be in a fancy restaurant.
