From the Evening Standard here’s some of the best and worst chat up lines used on Londoners
+ One guy said to me: “Alice, how do you do that?” I said: “Do what?” and he said: “Look so beautiful every day.” That definitely didn’t work.
+ A guy I know used to tell people that he was a shark trainer or a lion trainer. It worked every time.
+ One German guy fed me a lie all evening. He said he was a shepherd, he had no internet and his mum bought his clothes. It would have worked if he had never told me the truth. I thought it was really sweet that he was a shepherd.

We love your body. Because it’s yours
We love how you smell
We remember forever what you say about the bodies of other women.
We also remember everything you say about our bodies, be it good or bad
Never complain about our friends — even if we do.
Remember what we like.,
We want you to order Scotch. It’s the most impressive drink order.
Facebook and Twitter could have healing properties according to a new bit of Australian research.
Theresa Sauter, from the Queensland University of Technology, says that “The ancient Greek philosophers used a reflective notebook to write down what they had read and their thoughts on it,” she said.
Early Christians and Puritans used to keep confessional diaries and self writing was used last century as a therapy. Theresa sees the micro blogging on Facebook and Twitter as modern day means of doing that.
So next time someone tells you you’re spending too much time social networking then either tell them it’s your therapy or more impressively say you’re being a philosopher!
Hypnoticdreams.com is a website which sells hypnotic audio stories. These stories are recorded in such a way that listening to them feels more real than a normal story because the hypnotic language used in them paints a much more vivid picture in your head.
Now they’ve moved into erotic fiction and the website isn’t just promising you’ll believe that you’re in the story. They also say that due to post hypnotic suggestions in the stories you’ll also have increased enjoyment of your real life sexual experiences!
If that’s your thing you’ll find the info HERE and the probably NSFW hypnoticdreams website HERE
Private Investigators are turning to Facebook in order to track down evidence. Insurance companies are hiring PIs to look at Facebook status updates and photos to prove than fraudsters are lying. They’re then using this Facebook evidence in court.
Evidence used so far includes
- Someone who claimed to have no income actually had a hidden job
- The people who claimed to be burgled when they were out were actually home at the time and having a party
- The woman who claimed to have a injury so she couldn’t socialise but had photos on her profile showing her out enjoying bars
Police in England are trying to track down a man who stopped at the scene of a fatal accident and pulled a three year old boy from a burning car before vanishing.
The man is thought to have witnessed the accident in which one driver died and other were injured. He went over to a burning car and risked his own life while pulling a three year old boy out of the car and passing him to an off duty nurse, he then just left.
Police want to find him but only have the description that he is an ‘older’ man.
We reported on Boobquake over the weekend (see it HERE). In a nutshell an Iranian cleric said that provocatively clad women cause promiscuity which in turn made God angry which forced him to create earthquakes.
Jennifer McCreight from Indiana started a Facebook group called Boobquake, the idea was that the 200,000 fans would wear their lowest cut tops on Monday (26th April), with that much cleavage on display it would prove or disprove the clerics point.
And yesterday in Taiwan there was an earth tremor measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale!
