A WOMAN has revealed how she and her fiancé decided to ditch living in their home and move into a white van - and why it’s the best decision they’ve ever made. Heidi Elliot and her fiancé Julian Nevin, who are both photographers, previously lived in a property in Dunsfold, near Guildford. However, two years ago they decided to follow a lifelong dream - and waved goodbye to their usual way of living to convert a white van into their dream home. In a piece for The Metro, Heidi, 22, explained: “We’d often talked about being able to live on the road, so when Covid hit in March 2020 we saw the chance to turn our dream into a reality. “After much thinking we decided on a modern van with low mileage, because we wanted it to look professional and be reliable, with enough space to convert into a mini-home and workplace, so we found a dealership in London.” The couple, who met while working in Singapore, forked out £25,000 on the Mercedes Sprinter van, plus a further estimated … [Read more...] about My man and I ditched our home to live in a white van – we’ve got a wet room, a 32” TV and even a king size bed inside

Leicester 56 Bristol 26 Chris Ashton smashed the Premiership try-scoring record as Leicester booked themselves a home play-off semi-final and showed their readiness for challenges to come in Europe. The veteran winger scored three times in 24 first-half minutes to notch up yet another landmark as Tigers utterly dominated Bristol. Ashton scored his first Premiership try, for Northampton against Wasps, in 2008 and number 93 came after three minutes here. Numbers 94 and 95 swiftly followed as he showed his appetite for scoring remains undimmed. The winger leapfrogged Tom Varndell, the former Leicester, Wasps and Bristol wing, to top the scoring charts and can add that 95 to 20 for England, in 44 caps, and another record breaking 24 in the French Top 14 with Toulon in 2017-18.

On Saturday 14 May, an 18-year-old man walked into a supermarket in Buffalo and shot 13 people, killing 10 . A few days before carrying out the killings, the shooter published a 180-page manifesto on Google Docs detailing his motives, which were largely racist and antisemitic in nature. Similarly to Brenton Tarrant , who massacred 51 people and injured 40 others at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019, the Buffalo shooter attributed the views which caused him to carry out the killings to 4chan ; an online message board-based forum where users are able to post completely anonymously and with very little in the way of oversight or restrictions. 4chan, along with similar websites like 8chan – another anonymous forum which has also been cited by mass shooters – have a reputation for attracting the absolute human detritus of the internet. Their refusal to provide oversight to their users predictably result in them becoming hotbeds of neo-Nazi rhetoric, … [Read more...] about Want unfettered free speech?

GETTING along at school is hard enough, but for teenager Anya St James there was another big problem to contend with. The young woman was just 13 years old when she first started getting ogled by her classmates, after her B-cups became DDs in the space of a year. The retail worker’s bust continued to bulge “one cup size each year” and now she compares her breasts to “cantaloupe melons”. While many have expressed envy over her big bosom, Anya insists she “doesn’t want them” and would prefer to have smaller boobs so she could fit into nice tops and bras. That’s not all. She’s constantly getting unwanted attention by men , who make crude comments on dating apps and in person too - insisting that they'd love to 'motorboat' her. Anya, 19, from Gold Coast, Queensland, told The Sun: “When I was 14 and clearly underage, a group of adult men walked past and said, ‘Woah, you’ve got a nice pair of t**s love’.
