The timing for taking down your Christmas tree can vary based on personal preferences, cultural traditions, and even environmental factors. Here are some general guidelines to help you decide when to bid farewell to your festive fir:
Post-New Year’s Week: Many people choose to take down their Christmas decorations during the first week of January, right after New Year’s Day. This allows you to start the new year with a clean slate and a fresh living space.
The Twelfth Night Tradition: In some cultures, there’s a tradition known as Twelfth Night, which falls on January 5th or 6th, depending on the Christian calendar. It marks the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas and is considered an auspicious time to take down decorations.
Before Epiphany: Epiphany, also known as Three Kings’ Day, is celebrated on January 6th. In some traditions, this day symbolizes the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus. Taking down your Christmas tree before or on Epiphany is seen as a way to conclude the holiday season.
When the Needles Drop: If you have a natural Christmas tree, keep an eye on the needle drop. Once the needles start falling off in large quantities, it’s a clear sign that your tree is drying out, and it’s time to take it down to prevent a mess and potential fire hazard.
Personal Preference: Ultimately, the decision is yours, darling! If you find joy in keeping the holiday spirit alive a bit longer, feel free to leave your tree up into mid-January. Some individuals even keep their trees up until the end of January or early February.
Before Valentine’s Day: As a general rule of thumb, it’s a good idea to have your Christmas decorations put away before Valentine’s Day. This ensures a smooth transition from winter festivities to the next seasonal celebration.
Remember, there are no strict rules about when to take down your Christmas tree. Choose a time that feels right for you, your household, and your traditions.
Whether you bid adieu to the tinsel on New Year’s Day or keep the holiday spirit alive a bit longer, the key is to do it with love and joy.
Ah, gay cruising, for some gay and bi men it’s a rite of passage, for others it’s a no-go activity, but we’ve been looking at our website’s stats and we’ve discovered when gay cruising grounds are at their most popular, by analysing the hits and web searches we get for anything to do with cruising.
Now clearly anything that involves taking off some or all of your clothes in an outdoor or public setting is going to be more popular in the hotter summer months, but don’t be mistaken in thinking that guys don’t go cruising during the winter months as well. However, we have to say we think that nudist beaches are going to be pretty quiet past September.
The difference between Winter and Summer can make a big difference when gay cruising
Searches on our website are half in the wintery months as people tend to look to more dating app hookups or even gay saunas, but it doesn’t mean that all menfolk stop their outings.
Many use messaging sites, like ours, to let other guys know that they’re going to be at the location at a certain time – and don’t forget many cruising sites can take place indoors, in toilets, shopping centres and service stations. Gloryholes are incredibly popular in indoor settings and not something you can recreate in an outdoor setting.
So, when is the most popular time for cruising? Well, digging into the analytics of the past three years of searches on our site for cruising grounds, we have found that queries and visits to our cruising listings have peaked in August and July, not surprising when you consider the weather.
But you might be surprised to learn that the least popular cruising month isn’t December or January when it’s coldest in the UK no, it’s surprisingly April and March.
This is the exact date when gay cruising is the most and least popular.
But if you’re looking for the cruisiest day of the year, it’s the 18th of August, that’s when traffic peaks each year (on average) on our site. The least cruisiest, is March 5th.
Did you know there are many gay cruising and dogging grounds in Glasgow?
Glasgow and its surrounding areas is home to several cruising and dogging grounds, did that surprise you?
Whether you love or loathe the idea of anonymous outdoor gay sex, it’s hard to escape the fact that gay cruising grounds are all around us.
You probably don’t even know, but from where you’re sitting or standing right now there’s probably a cruising or dogging ground just metres away from you in Glasgow, and they’re a hangover from more homophobic times in the UK. At our last count, there were at least six known cruising grounds in Glasgow and surrounding areas. The most popular are Yorkhill Park and Greyfriars Road.
Although we can’t say for sure, something has to be said about how the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown has affected the way in which gay, bi and curious men get sex. With saunas and bathhouses closed for the best part of three months, many more are yet to still open, guys who can’t, or don’t want to accommodate in their own homes are looking to other places. One of those will be outdoor venues.
Where did gay cruising come from?
Gay cruising is not a new phenomenon. It dates back to when sex between men was illegal in the UK. Finding a place where two men could be intimate with each other without too many questions being raised was tricky until it was realised that men’s public toilets were a perfect place.
These were named cottages because they actually used to look like quaint little cottages.
The act of finding sex in these public conveniences became known as “cottaging“.
The sex between men who would frequent a cottage would usually be anonymous. Gloryholes, a hole drilled between stalls in public toilets became a way in which this sex could remain faceless.
To this day there are loads of cottages and cruising grounds in Glasgow
Generally speaking, not a lot of talking goes on when cruising. A series of looks and gestures would let others know what you were up to. At urinals, guys would stand, playing with themselves subtly to let others know that they were up for some play. Then if the feeling is mutual the pair could make their way to a cubicle for more privacy.
At cruising grounds, much of the same would happen, except the action took place away from public footpaths.
Is Cottaging Legal in the UK?
Cottaging is illegal in the United Kingdom under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and applies to both heterosexual and homosexual acts.
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 doesn’t say however that sex in a public place is illegal. Cruising grounds and cottaging are two different spaces. Cruising grounds are defined as open spaces, where men can hook up with men, or straight couples can meet for sex (often referred to as dogging), as long as no members of the public can see you.
You risk being arrested if reported by a member of the public. If this happens you have the right to legal advice from an on-duty solicitor at the police station. If convicted you could be sentenced to 6 months in prison and /or a fine.

Fuming fans took to X formerly Twitter to vent about not getting Girls Aloud tickets last week, as a number of fans were left queuing for hours on Ticketmaster for the site to then crash. To add salt to the wound, overpriced resale tickets for the pop group’s reunion are already sweeping social media.
With many left with no choice but to turn to resale sites to buy their tickets, they could become prime targets for scammers. The experts at Scams.info have provided some helpful tips on how to detect a scam to ensure you don’t fall for one.
Top 5 useful ways to avoid a reseller site scam…
Table of Contents
Pay attention to the payment method
When shopping for resold tickets online, it is crucial to make payments through the actual website itself. Often online scammers might put pressure on a buyer not to use a site’s secure payment methods, and instead pay through a bank transfer before the product has been seen or received. Such seller practices should always raise a red flag. Try to avoid sellers advertising through social platforms such as Facebook, X [Twitter], and Instagram.
Demand current photos of the product
Whatever ticket you’re trying to purchase, request that the seller send you a recent photo of it or a screenshot of the ticket confirmation. Ask them to set the printed-out ticket(s) or confirmation next to a piece of paper with your name written on it, for example. If they’re unwilling to do so, chances are they don’t have the product at all, so don’t proceed with the transaction.
Look out for extremely low-priced products
Tickets sold for unbelievably low prices are a definite warning sign. Do your research and look around other websites to check the average price of the tickets you’d like to buy. With the demand for sold-out shows always set to be so high, resold tickets will most likely be overpriced. Remember: if the price seems way too good to be true, it most likely is.
Check the seller’s profile
Ideally, the seller should have reviews on their profile from previous buyers that you can read. Also be aware of too many positive reviews which sound the same. Inspect the profile carefully for anything that might look suspicious and if you see something, don’t risk buying from that seller.
Decline overpayments if you’re the seller
While it might not happen too often, scammers may target sellers as well. They may pay more than the set price and then say they’ve made a mistake before asking for a partial refund. The seller will send the refund, only to discover the original payment had been cancelled. If a person is acting suspiciously when you decline an overpayment and ask for the correct amount, it could mean they’re a scammer!

Preventing HIV transmission involves adopting a combination of strategies to reduce the risk of exposure. Here are some of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent HIV:
Use Condoms: Consistent and correct use of condoms during sexual intercourse can significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission. Male and female condoms are readily available and provide a barrier against the virus.
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis):PrEP is a medication taken by HIV-negative individuals to prevent infection. It is highly effective when taken as prescribed and can be a useful prevention tool, especially for those at higher risk.
Limit Sexual Partners: Reducing the number of sexual partners can lower the risk of exposure to HIV. Knowing your partner’s HIV status and discussing sexual health openly can help make informed decisions.
Regular Testing: Knowing your own and your partner’s HIV status is crucial. Regular testing allows for early detection, enabling timely access to treatment and preventing further transmission. There is at-home testing now which is easy to do. See our at-home HIV Testing review here.
Avoid Sharing Needles or Syringes: If you use drugs, avoid sharing needles or syringes, as this can increase the risk of HIV transmission. Use clean needles and sterile injection equipment.
Use Sterile Instruments for Tattoos and Piercings: Ensure that any instruments used for tattoos, piercings, or other body modifications are sterile and properly cleaned to prevent the risk of HIV transmission.
Educate Yourself: Stay informed about HIV transmission and prevention methods. Understanding the virus and its modes of transmission can empower individuals to make informed choices about their sexual health.
Kick Stigma out: HIV-related stigma, which includes negative attitudes, prejudice, and discrimination towards individuals living with HIV or perceived to be at risk, can create barriers to effective prevention and care.
Seek Support and Counselling: If you are in a relationship with someone living with HIV or if you have concerns about your risk, seek counselling and support services. Open communication and education can help address fears and reduce the risk of transmission.
Remember, the most effective prevention strategy may vary depending on individual circumstances. It’s essential to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised advice and guidance based on your specific situation.
New transmissions of HIV have declined by 42% from 2019 to 2022 new data shows.
The number of new HIV diagnoses among gay and bisexual men fell by 42% from 1,239 to 724 between 2019 and 2022, according to the latest HIV Action Plan monitoring and evaluation framework (MEF), published today. However, the UK’s Government hopes to reduce transmission by 80% by 2025.
Meeting HIV targets
England also met the UNAIDS 2025 95-95-95 targets for the third time with 95% of all people with HIV being diagnosed, 98% of those diagnosed on treatment and 98% of those on treatment being virally suppressed and unable to pass on the virus.
While there has been a notable decline in cases among white gay and bisexual men from 2019 to 2022, there is a disparity among ethnic minority gay and bisexual men, with new HIV diagnoses not decreasing at a similar rate.
Ethnic minority groups still at risk
In 2022, ethnic minority groups accounted for 42% (304 out of 724) of diagnoses in GBMSM (Gay Bisexual and Men who have sex with men), compared to 34% (417 out of 1,239) in 2019.
While there was a 13% decrease in overall new HIV diagnoses in England, dropping from 2,819 in 2019 to 2,444 in 2022, there was an increase from 2,313 to 2,444 between 2021 and 2022. To meet the 2025 transmission target, there would need to be a yearly reduction of 627 in HIV transmission.
Cases of HIV have risen in Women and ethnic minority groups
The recent increase can be attributed in part to a slowdown in the progress toward the elimination in heterosexual women and ethnic minority groups. Despite a decrease in cases among heterosexual women from 589 in 2019 to 447 in 2021, there was a 26% rise from 447 to 564 in 2022.
While diagnoses among white British women declined by 39% between 2019 and 2022, there was only a 6% reduction among black African women. Among heterosexual men, new HIV diagnoses decreased by 25%, falling from 458 in 2019 to 281 in 2022.

Dr Alison Brown, Interim Head of HIV Surveillance at UKHSA, said, “England remains a world leader in efforts to reduce HIV transmission and ensure that those diagnosed have timely access to effective treatment.
“While there is much to celebrate, with numbers of HIV diagnoses continuing to decrease in certain groups, there is also much more to do. HIV diagnoses are increasing among heterosexual populations, particularly among women.
“It is concerning that testing levels in these groups has not recovered to 2019 levels, prior to Covid-19. So please, no matter your gender or sexual orientation, get regularly tested, use condoms and get PrEP if you’re eligible, to protect you and your partners’ health.”
Professor Kevin Fenton, government’s Chief Advisor on HIV and Chair of HIV Action Plan Implementation Steering Group said, “This week’s announcement to start new research on an expansion of the HIV opt-out emergency department testing programme, demonstrates the government’s commitment to keep the momentum up to end new transmissions of HIV within England by 2030.
“HIV opt-out testing is successful at reaching everyone, including women and those from ethnic minorities, who are living with HIV without knowing. It is a huge step in the right direction, and today’s research shows we need to do more to make sure these groups are effectively being targeted.
“I believe we can meet our 2030 targets and thank the UKHSA for its research to point us in the right direction – and identify where more can be done.”
Richard Angell, Chief Executive of Terrence Higgins Trust, said, “We have all of the tools we need to end new HIV cases by 2030 and diagnose those out there who are unaware they’re living with HIV. But with just six years left to achieve that goal, we need to do more and do it faster. Crucially, we also need to ensure that the progress we’re making is felt by all of the groups impacted by HIV – without exception. That includes for women, heterosexual men and people from racially minoritised communities, where testing levels continue to lag both behind pre-Covid levels and those seen among gay and bisexual men.
“The announcement of £20million funding to expand opt-out HIV testing in A&Es to an additional 46 hospitals is great news as this approach is proven to help address inequalities, with the proportion of women, older people and those of Black ethnicity diagnosed in A&Es higher than those found in sexual health. But this landmark expansion is only part of the puzzle and needs to happen in parallel with the better utilisation and availability of HIV prevention drug PrEP, ramping up testing in a wide range of settings and, of course, tackling the highs levels of stigma still surrounding HIV.”
Deborah Gold, Chief Executive of National AIDS Trust, said, “This period of time is absolutely crucial in our fight to end new HIV transmissions. Though the data shows some really encouraging progress, it also demonstrates how important it is to tackle inequalities across different communities as our key focus.
“PrEP and opt-out testing are game-changers, but they’re not enough if they’re not reaching the right people. People who adhere to their medication cannot pass the virus on. This is also known as Undetectable = Untransmissible (U=U) and it is a vital message in the ongoing fight against stigma and discrimination, however, not enough people are aware of it. Tailored engagement and interventions which involve the communities that we are trying to reach must be the starting point to addressing inequalities.”
The year 2022 also saw the highest ever number of tests in sexual health services among gay and bisexual men, but numbers have remained lower than pre-pandemic levels for heterosexual men and women.
In 2022, 40% of women attending sexual health services were not offered an HIV test compared to 27% in heterosexual men and 23% in gay and bisexual men. Women, and ethnic minority populations were also less likely start or continue PrEP.
UKHSA continues to work with DHSC and partners towards the HIV Elimination Action Plan, including supporting the evaluation of the Opt-out testing programme to increase HIV diagnoses and providing guidance to clinicians to help get people with HIV access treatment.
UKHSA will also be working to understand why women are less likely to be offered a HIV test to help tackle inequalities.
