Plastic rockstars rejoice: Guitar Hero is coming back
My soul is happy but my fingers are sad to hear that there's a brand new Guitar Hero coming this year – Guitar Hero Live: Interesting acting there. It sounds like the game will be split into two parts: the classic-style Guitar Hero game, which will now have actual music videos in the background instead…
Cringe of the day: a Waitrose branch made an ‘Uptown Funk’ lipsync
There are lots of amazing YouTube videos set to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' megahit Uptown Funk. Like this one, by a high school in Dallas: Or this one on a treadmill, by Carson Dean: But not this one, by the Bromley South branch of Waitrose: With 17,000 views at the time of writing, it's not awful…
Free ice cream today! It’s Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day
Today (April the 14th) is that magical day of the year when Ben & Jerry's give out free ice cream to the masses because, essentially, they are the best people in the world. B&J's ice cream has got me through breakups, shakeups, and a 3-hour war film my ex wanted to watch, and today we…

Funny Twitter account of the day: Medieval Reactions
If you've seen your friends posting pictures of Medieval artwork lately, the Medieval Reactions Twitter account is more than likely why.

3 of the best massage candles: scented candles that double as massage oil
We love the idea of massage candles: luxuriously-scented candles made with massage oil, so that as the wax melts, the warm oil can be poured onto skin. (The wax is designed to have a very low melting point so it doesn't burn your skin – A&E trips are not good for romantic atmosphere). They come…
Funny Twitter account of the day: Facebook Name Lyrics
The @FBNameLyrics Twitter account is going to be your new favourite. Here's why: Yep, they take a song lyric and find someone with that name on Facebook. It's a simple formula (though we imagine the searches are a bit of a 'mare) with brilliant results: There are Christmassy ones, too: But this is our favourite:…
