The number of homeless children in Scotland's largest city has soared by 40 per cent in the last two years. A staggering 1,391 children are expected to be homeless over the holidays, spending both Christmas and New Year in temporary accommodation. The latest figures show a 40 per cent rise in the number of homeless children in the city compared to the same time in 2014, where there were 998. In 2015, around 1200 children were homeless over the festive...

Forget Richard Branson, the creators of Pukka herbal teas could have the next big business success story. More than one million cups of Pukka Herbs tea are drunk every day in 40 counties, helping the company to a £28million annual turnover. But it all started as a single classified advert in a local magazine. Boss Tim Westwell, 55, has revealed the incredible story of how he met co-founder Sebastian Pole and how he battled depression and chronic back pain to make...

Millions of motorists are suffering from a fear of parallel parking - or so called 'parallelophobia'. Almost a third of drivers admit the prospect of trying to manoeuvre their motor into a parallel space drives them to distraction, and 34 per cent confessed they think it’s the hardest parking technique. What's more, over half of drivers have gone past an empty space because it meant they would have had to carry out the procedure they fear the most. Three in ten...

There are three certainties in life; death, taxes, and the unwavering guarantee that society’s top brass will always hold more sway in parliament than the everyday man. Yesterday across the country hundreds if not thousands of people embarked on the annual Boxing Day hunt emblazoned in scarlet coats and beige breeches, in spite of its illegality and despite the fact that public support has never been so low. A new poll has found that historic levels of Britons oppose fox...

2016 is officially a bigger wanker than we first expected after making another arsehole move on Christmas Day. The full calendar year, which has been known to compare itself to the likes of 1914 and 1939, took the life of another national icon on the 25th in a blatant two fingers to the rest of the country and in clear breach of festive protocol. It is still unclear whether this is the last dick head trick it has up its...

Bob Geldoff is set to cancel his Christmas plans to pen a new track in support of the recently discovered Amazonian tribe who, he fears, might not yet know anything about the birth of Christ. A photographer has recently captured images of an uncontacted tribe on the Brazil/Peru border. Close friends have confirmed Geldoff is growing increasingly concerned about the world of dread and fear that he assumes they live in. Graeme Piggott, a neighbour of Geldoff, confirmed he saw...

Professional photographer Gareth Iwan Jones may have just taken the 'ultimate selfie'. The well known snapper posted this short clip to his social media account, which takes the boring old selfie to the next level. Instead of a still image, the photographer took stunning drone footage showing him and his wife laying on the deserted Cofete Beach on the Spanish island of Fuerteventura. The drone camera then pans out over a seemingly endless beach at the foot of the 800m high mountains of Jandia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNkdb6VZ0Y0 The...

We take a girlie break at the DoubleTree by Hilton London – Tower of London. With Christmas in the air and a family feeling dominating, I decided it would be apt to whisk my older and lovelier sis away for a night for some quality girlie time. Our destination was all of 30 minutes away: the DoubleTree by Hilton London – Tower of London, which was perfect for our plan of a post-work evening out, followed by a reviving walk...

The indigenous people of London are today celebrating as millions of economic migrants return back to their homeland for Christmas. The annual exodus of around 4 million people ensures public transport becomes ‘manageable’, shopping becomes ‘a little bit less hysterical’ and bars become ‘not wholly uncomfortable’. Simon Griffiths, a geezer, said “It's a wonderful time of year aint it. I was born under the sound of the Bow Bells and was runnin round the streets of the East End since...
