Planking has evolved into the leisure dive, when you dive in a pool whilst attempting to look like you’re just reclining on a chaise lounge or whatever. Many fails but some are great, like the Ryan Kwanten one. I like this disco don.

I really love this article and advise everyone to read it, because the bottom line of it is incredibly true and something everyone could do with bearing in mind. Especially all the over-romantic girls like me that have seen a too many films and like to imagine these things always start with dappled sunlight and a beautiful song when actually they mostly just start with vodka and incomprehensible...

The first epiphany I had about valentines this year I’ve already shared; namely that it’s the one night when you’re guaranteed not have to deal with the whole ‘I have a boy/girlfriend’ line. If you do get fed that one you should totally call them on it, because being in a club on valentines day when you actually have someone to spend it with is weird, and hints at...
