Women, would you ‘Pop the Question’ on a Leap Year?

Women, would you ‘Pop the Question’ on a Leap Year?

A leap year, also known to the scientific folk as a bissextile year, is a year containing one additional day. Such years consist of 366 days as opposed to the average 365 days we live through in a common year. Without getting too technical about the subject, a Leap Year basically happens once every four years as a way of keeping the day- to-day calendar we usually live by synchronized with the astronomical and seasonal year. So, every four years we live through a February 29th. Typical of us humans, [...]

Age: is it really just a number?

Age: is it really just a number?

Many teenage hearts started beating again as it was announced that TV personality, Caroline Flack, 32, and curly-haired One Direction member, Harry Styles, 17, had called time on their relationship. Styles has been the lovable rogue of One Direction since the band came third in the 2010 series of X Factor. It was always known that Harry was a bit advanced for his age, as he was seen whispering to Matt Cardle, then that show’s newly crowned winner, “Think of the p*ssy you’re gonna get”, referring to the perks he would enjoy as [...]

Ferris Bueller – The sequel?

Speculation is rife that actor Matthew Broderick is to step back into the shoes of his most famous role yet, Ferris Beuller. Almost three decades on from the original, where Broderick played a teenage school student who encouraged us all to ditch school for a day, Bueller is coming back. And this time, he is taking a day off work. Rumours about the sequel start circulating after a 10 second video was posted on YouTube showing the actor, 49, reciting a famous line from the original film with a more [...]

A life-changing Rom-Com or a headache-enhancing Vom-Com?

A life-changing Rom-Com or a headache-enhancing Vom-Com?

Hi, I’m Megan and I’m a Romantic Comedy addict. Part of me is embarrassed admitting it, and this same part of me would love to say I enjoy intelligent French Indie Art films, but I don’t. I get giddy just with the thought of watching gorgeous female characters fall head over heels in passionate love with even more gorgeous actors. At the end of every rom-com I watch, I wipe away the tears, and imagine what it would be like if a Jude Law-ish character knocked at my door on [...]

Melanotan 2: Are you suffering from “tan-orexia?”

Melanotan 2: Are you suffering from “tan-orexia?”

Has anyone else noticed our nation’s growing obsession with bronzed skin and tanning products? I openly admit to being a ‘tan-orexic’ myself and regularly use tanning products. I am naturally paler than a pint of milk with a bad dose of Pleuracy and much prefer being a little ‘warmer’ in colour. But, like many, I am quite shocked at the new tanning options. Over the summer especially, I noticed a substantial amount of people using their local Chartbusters. And they weren’t renting DVDs. The amount of women, and men, using [...]

To WAG or not to WAG? That is the question.

To WAG or not to WAG? That is the question.

As the final whistle blew at the Aviva Stadium last week and Ireland became qualifiers for the European Championships 2012, after a 24-year absence from the competition, a huge cheer and applause sounded in the pub I had watched the match in. This relief-riddled celebration was straight away followed by the giggly observation that actual, real life football players could possibly be out on the town, in our town that very night. We simply, just had to go. No questions asked. The following day, when the hype from the match [...]
