MIDLANDSISM
Maybe we’re biased thanks to having lots of Brummie mates but news that West Midlanders have the least cool accent in the UK wound us up. Apparently the Queen’s English is the coolest accent, according to new research, Surely Cat Deeley, Jamelia and Ozzy Osbourne – all famous Brummies – are cooler than the queen, even if she does have all the best houses?

ASTROLOGY
Sure, we’ve been known to peek at our horoscopes now and again but news that some companies are now using star signs to ascertain who to hire is driving Harlot mad. Then again, as a Scorpio she is prone to flying off the handle.

CASUAL SEX
It’s fine in the summer when there’s lots of hot festival totty around but it’s just too much like hard work now the nights are drawing in. We’re opting for Monogamy – the game, that is. It manages to keep things interesting once the honeymoon period’s over, courtesy of lots of ‘intimate’, ‘passionate’ and ‘steamy’ questions to ask your man. Well, just because we’re keeping the one man there’s no reason he can’t try something new. Click here for more information.

CLOWNS
Ok, so they’re usually sinister but news that San Francisco’s Clown Conservatory has just released a naked calendar to raise money for MS research certainly made us smile. Check them here.

MALE MASTURBATION
We’re always banging on about the joys of bean-flicking but it turns out there’s good news for the guys too. New research suggests that ejaculation can ease nasal congestion as it stimulates the adrenergic receptors, which is apparently how over-the-counter decongestants work. Not that it’s going to save on any Kleenex…

DIESEL
Always fantastic at making ads, the clothing brand has surpassed itself with its latest ‘safe for work porn’ viral ad - just add cartoons and suddenly the rudest thing looks innocent. Ish.
