Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. This woman brings new meaning to the phrase.

June is definitely busting out all over and you are very welcome to this, the very first Bluffrs Guide with June in the title - gives me goosebumps all over.

Oh come on now, a tshirt is a security risk? If only Esther Rantzen was still on the air with ‘That’s Life’, this would surely win the peaked cap jobsworth award.

What a wonderful way to commemorate the 112th Birthday of Britain’s Oldest Man. “People ask me how I’ve done it, and I just say that I look forward to another tomorrow”.

Fraud prevention company boss gets his comeuppance. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Sex change operations for kids? This is just wrong in a world where so many kids die from easily preventable diseases.
