10 ways technology can ruin your love life

Tweet

A pair of west London poshos got into trouble this week when they accidently cc'd a 'hot' girl on an email conversation they were having about her and it became an internet hit.

Although it's fun to laugh at the misfortune of dipsticks from Fulham, this is also a cautionary tale about how technology can spectacularly ruin relationships and flings. Here are nine other ways it can happen…

1) Text the person you're dissing
"Yeah mate I'd rate Julie 5/10 in bed - she was a bit podgy but, on the plus side, pure filth." Contacts, send to: Julie. Argh! It's a brain meltdown we've all experienced (or at least, I have).
Recovery chances: 2/10 – saying it was a different Julie is unlikely to fly.

2) Instant message juggling
Chatting to multiple friends or colleagues in different windows might make you feel popular but it’s risky. If your boss suddenly pop ups and you baffle him with kisses or a cat emoticon, it may cost you that promotion.
Recovery chances: 7/10 – kisses and cat emoticons are generally inoffensive, unless your boss’s cat recently died and he thinks you are mocking him.

3) Pocket dialling
Normally an innocent mistake that happens when your keypad is unlocked… but it depends what you're doing at the time. A pal of mine once inadvertently left a voicemail on his girlfriend's phone while he was canoodling with someone else.
Recovery chances: 5/10 - The crackly sound quality should allow you to create an alternative truth. At least it should be crackly sound quality, unless you’re having sex in a toilet.

4) Sex tape
It’s great to make a saucy video with someone you love and trust... until you dump them and they upload their revenge on myamateurvideo.com.
Recovery chances: 3/10 – The only thing that can save you is your own incompetence as a filmmaker. Body parts look fairly similar on a fuzzy screen, faces less so.

5) Drunk dialling
Ultimately, you are to blame for this rather than technology. But the mobile phone is the device that allows you to send the message: “I need too see ur boobs... NOW! xxxxx” to your ex at 3.19am.
Recovery chances: 2/10 - slim, unless you claim your phone was hijacked by a randy tramp when you fell asleep on the night bus.

6) Wall defamation
"Was great to see you last night ;-) x" appears on your Facebook Wall from a mystery girl. The kiss alone is damning, but the wink is a virtual guarantee you got laid.
Recovery chances: 4/10 - This looks dodgy but it’s not enough evidence for a conviction. That wink could mean literally anything.

7) Spotted on dating site
The girl you’re seeing finds an online dating profile with your photo and the tagline “single and looking for fun, preferably with someone really skinny”.
Recovery chances: 6/10 – You could say it was an old profile, or your mate uploaded it. And why was she looking at a dating site anyway?!

8) Block sucker
An annoying girl keeps pestering you on messenger. Easy solution: block her. But you’re also friends with her housemate, and they're online at the same time. The ultimate snub: cue hatred and awkwardness forever.
Recovery chances: 1/10 – You could blame computers but this is so blatant that you’ll just have to come clean. The upside is that you generally don’t like people you block anyway.

9) Incriminating Facebook tag
Oh look, it’s you, on a night out, a bit drunk, having fun with your friends and… is your hand on that woman’s bottom? Hold on... is it IN that woman’s bottom?
Recovery chances: 2/10 - They say the camera never lies, but you can still try. If you’re snapped kissing, say it was her birthday. Bum-touching may be trickier to explain.

What men say and what they really mean

Tweet

Research reveals males and females use language in contradictory ways.  Women use conversation as the very glue which binds the relationship. But for men it couldn’t be more different.

Lisa Sussman author of “Over 100 Things Women Should Know about Men” asserts, “most men have no idea how they feel at any given time. Studies show that men use language to establish difference, separateness and independence (exactly the opposite of women, who talk to connect). So demanding that he talk to you is guaranteed to make him squirm and start rambling about whether new Cheerios really are improved.”

If you’re flummoxed by the sentences that come out of his mouth, here’s a basic reference guide to help you make sense of what he’s saying.

He says: “So maybe we could hang out?”
He means: “I’d like to ask you out on a date, but am too scared.”

He says: “Let's be friends”
He means: “You're not my type, but maybe you could introduce me to your single friends.”

He says:  “I’m forever changing my mind, who knows what I’ll be doing this time next year!”
He means: “I’m a free spirit. I’m up for a casual encounter but don’t try and pin me down to a relationship. I need my space.”

He says: “I need some space.”
He means: “I want to break-up, but haven’t got the courage.”

He says: “My mate’s joining us later, hope you don’t mind.”
He means: “I’m just not that into you.”

He says: “Let’s go somewhere cosy.”
He means: “Let’s kiss...”

He says: “It’s not you, it’s me.”
He means: “It’s you.”

He says: “I don’t want to be tied down.”
He means: “I’m seeing other people.”

He says: Maybe we need to slow down
He means: Maybe you need to slow down

He says: “Shall we go halves?”
He means: “I’m not planning on seeing you again, so I might as well save some money.”

He says: “Nothing's wrong.” 
He means: “I’ve had a difficult day but I don’t want to talk about it.  I just want to sit quietly and watch TV. Okay?”

He says: “I don't know what I want.”
He means: “I don’t know what I want but I know that it’s not you.”

The make up that men hate the most

Tweet

At some point, most of us have turned to our other halves or male friends and asked that all important question: “Do I look good in this?” but rarely do we consult our men folk about the state of our make up. 

While there’s do denying that make up helps us feel good about ourselves, it also comes in handy when it comes to attracting the opposite sex. Let’s face it, when we’re slicking on the lippy or making sure our eyelashes are perfectly curled, how our men folk will view the final result is often at the forefront of our minds.

Eli Ankutse, co-founder of nivenandjoshua, says his number one dislike when it comes to make up misdemeanours is heavy foundation. “As I'm sure most guys will agree, it has to 
be when excessive or obvious foundation is used - I think less is definitely more here.”


With increasingly sophisticated formulas and wide selections of shades, finding the perfect foundation has never been easier – it might just take a little longer. Don’t be afraid to ask for samples - most types of foundation will look drastically different away from the harsh lighting of a shop floor.

“The most important thing is to make sure you choose a foundation shade in as natural a light as possible - ideally broad daylight,” says Chase Aston, The Body Shop’s international make up artist. “If you apply two or three shades at one time, wait for a couple of minutes to see how they oxidise.”

When it comes to eye shadow, think about which colours complement your skin tone and hair colour – those in the know may well be predicting this summer will be all about brights and neons, but that doesn’t mean these colours will work for you.

“In my opinion, eyes are a woman's most powerful feature so I prefer subtle colours that allow her eyes to be the star of the show,” says Eli at Niven and Joshua. “Bold colours do catch your attention, but at times I find too much colour distracting.”

Matthew Crowson, founder of male grooming website themodernman, agrees. “Women should play to their 

strengths and not blindly follow the latest fashion without considering whether it suits them or not.”  

For ultimate staying power, opt for a lip stain. “Lip stains are totally kiss-proof, smudge-proof and waterproof,” says Chase at The Body Shop. If you really can’t go without the gloss, Chase suggests taking the time to prepare lips correctly in order to keep the colour in one place. “First exfoliate the lips and then smooth a moisturising balm onto the lips. Take a lip-liner pencil in the same shade as your gloss and fill in the whole lip area.”
Prepare to be amazed: “No make-up has to win hands down.” says Eli Ankutse. “Although that said, when make-up is used compliment an overall look, it can look immaculate.  But I’d say no make-up has to win hands down. Natural beauty wins every time.”

Why you shouldn't discipline other people's kids

Tweet

I’m typing this as I sit outside our palatial lodge overlooking 
vast acres of beautiful woodland. I’m drinking my tea and drinking in nature; in the distance I can hear the gentle birdsong of something lesser spotted and the harmonious squawking of a breed that’s way too common: a herd of OPK, or as it’s more commonly known, “other people’s kids”.

I’m at Centerparcs, where ‘OPK’ obviously exist in huge numbers (what with it being a family holiday kinda place) and over the last few days I’ve been pondering life’s big questions:

“Why don’t we ride bikes at home?” Answer: ‘cos we live in London with mentalist drivers rather than in a car-free woodland.

“Why is my right trainer much heavier than my left?” Answer: ‘cos the three year old has been shiftily sifting sand into it during our jaunt to the pretend beach.And: “Is it ever ok to tell off other people’s kids?” Answer: hmm, I’ll get back to you. 
Now, I try to be one of those chilled parents who aren’t busy-bodies or sticklers for rules but I couldn’t help noticing that the girl who’d just entered was already a willowy 5’5” and clearly towered over the small cardboard man at the entrance declaring, “If you’re shorter than me you can come in to play”. In fact, if the cardboard official was sporting some well stacked Cuban heels, she’d still dwarf him; I reckon she was easily 12.


Now, I’ve been the recipient of enough soggy paper spit balls thwacking the back of my neck at school to know it’s not the nicest of experiences. It’s bad enough when it happens in double modular science but even worse when you’re relaxing upside-down over a padded yellow slide on an Easter family break.


So, in conclusion I think its best not to try to discipline offspring that don’t belong to you. Plus, to be honest, why would I want to shout at other people’s kids when I’m so good at shouting at my own?

Your Curb Damaged wheels are removed from the vehicle and placed on a specially designed prep station/paint booth inside our self-contained reconditioning service van.

The road can be hard on your high performance wheels, especially in the winter. At WheelKraftNW we can restore your wheels to premium condition. We fix: • Curb damage • Winter damage - from chains scraping up the wheels • Rock chips • De-icer damage - can cause chrome wheels to peel, pitting, fading and aluminum wheels can end up looking white and chalky.
