  • Journalist Dean Eastmond passes away aged just 21

    Dean Eastmond, who created the HISKIND magazine has passed away aged just 21.

    Dean, who had become a bit of a social media legend because of his epic and brave battle against cancer, has sadly passed away at the age of 21. He had been sharing his journey on Twitter – receiving hundreds of messages of support from fans and celebs alike.

    Dean was diagnosed with cancer last year at the age of 20 when he was studying at University. He had been suffering from Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone and soft tissue cancer. Twelve months on and his valiant efforts to keep upbeat during his many treatments made him a social star.

    During his treatment, Dean created the HISKIND magazine, to bring attention to the stigma and discrimination that many LGBT+ people face when diagnosed with cancer.

    In July, Dean, got the surprise of his life when a video message was broadcast in front of thousands in Trafalgar Square at Pride In London.

    Speaking about discovering he was living with cancer he wrote for the Guardian,

    “In mid-Jun, I was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma – a rare soft tissue cancer growing off my ninth rib. I first noticed a problem after my housemates and I decided to have a party to celebrate making it through our first term of uni. The morning afterwards, I felt an excruciating pain in my side. I took a couple of paracetamol and shrugged it off as a drunken bump from the night before, but when I noticed a prominent protrusion of a rib a few months later, I knew something was clearly not right. Within a few weeks, my life went from normal to a series of scans, tests and biopsies, leading to a swift diagnosis”.

    The news of his death has shocked many in the LGBT+ community, with stars and fans of Dean’s work, paying tribute to the writer.

  • This is why you should DEFINITELY NOT use the kettle in your hotel room

    You might want to think again before downing a cup of packeted Nescafe…

    So apparently some totally gross people are using their hotel room’s kettle to boil their underwear. I mean WTF people.

    I mean WTF people.

    Now you might assume that boiling water kills off bacteria – but apparently, not all microbes and bacterium are killed off by simply boiling water.

    A senior lecturer in Molecular Biosciences at Massey University in Aukland, Dr Heather Hendrickson, spoke to Gizmodo to say that indeed, boiling your underwear in a kettle was just not cool.

    She said,

    “It is super super super super gross,”

    Apparently, some bacteria form spores that are highly immune to temperatures up to 120 Celsius and over a long period of time. Botulism causing Clostridium botulinum spores are a good example of this…

    That cheapy hotel kettle just isn’t going to cut it!

    She continued,

    “These don’t cause sickness if they are consumed, but their presence in certain environments can encourage them to produce a toxin that can be deadly.”

    People… please don’t use your kettle to boil your undies – use the laundry service – that’s what it’s there for.

  • This guy wants to ban the Rainbow flag because it’s offensive to straight people

    All those pretty colours are sooooo offensive.

    A radio host in the US has called for the ban of the international LGBT symbol, the rainbow flag to be banned because… it’s offensive to people, just like the Confederate flag and argued that you couldn’t ban one – without banning the other.

    Bryan Fisher was speaking on American Family Radio about the controversy surrounding the removal of Confederate flags and monuments before launching into a tirade about how offensive the rainbow flag was.

    He said,

    “There’s a lot of attention right now to get rid of the Confederate flag. There’s a public school system in North Carolina that’s completely banned the confederate flag because it is divisive.

    “So, no more Confederate flag.

    “There’s another symbol that is just as divisive… If we are going to ban the Confederate flag because it is divisive, how about we ban the LGBT flag at school?

    “If we are going to ban the Confederate flag at school because it creates division because it is offensive to people, I propose that everywhere the Confederate flag is banned… at the same time the LGBT rainbow flag be banned, at exactly the same time for exactly the same reasons.

    “It is offensive, it is contrary to our most deeply held values, it divides people, it does not bring them together.

    “It’s time to have the LGBT flag banned right alongside the Confederate flag. If we’re going to ban one, I submit we need to ban the other.”

    So there you have it.

     

  • Convicted murderer from the 80s, jailed for second attempted murder of lover

    A convicted murderer has been jailed for the attempted murder of ANOTHER MAN after dating app hook up goes hideously wrong.

    • Peter Lund was originally convicted of a murder of man in 1980.

    • He was released in 2015.

    • Now he has been jailed for the attempted murder of another man he found on a dating app.

    Peter James Lund (09/01/1954) of Pett Level Road, Winchelsea Beach, East Sussex has been jailed for attempted murder after being found guilty at an earlier hearing.

    Dating App Meeting Gone Wrong

    In December 2016, Lund travelled to Manchester to see a man he met on a dating app and spent the evening with him, after taking him to a Chinese takeaway in his silver Jaguar.

    A few days later, Lund and the man spent the evening together watching television and making plans for New Year’s Eve before going to sleep.

    At around 6.15am the next morning, Wednesday 21 December, the man awoke to an extremely sharp pain in the right of his neck.

    He opened his eyes to see Lund standing over him holding a knife and, when he asked him in disbelief what he was doing, Lund professed it was his sharp fingernails that had caused the pain.

    The victim panicked, shouting at Lund to get off him and pushed him away but, as he did so, his neck was slashed and a struggle ensued with Lund grabbing the man’s shoulder before reaching into his mouth and pulling at his teeth with force.

    The struggle reached the kitchen area where Lund took a knife while the man fled to the bathroom to mop his wounds with a towel.

    Covered in blood

    With them both covered in blood and unclothed, the fight spilled out into the communal corridor with Lund brandishing the large serrated knife and chasing the man as he ran up and down, banging on other doors trying to escape the attack.

    Lund tried to drag him back into the flat but he was disarmed by the man who quickly got into a lift and ran to a nearby petrol station to raise the alarm.

    Lund ran back inside, cleaned himself up and fled around three minutes later in his Jaguar towards Great Yarmouth where he was arrested by officers, after a short manhunt, on suspicion of attempted murder.

    When under arrest, an officer told Lund, ‘I’m not saying you have done it, it’s just on suspicion,’ Lund quickly interjected and admitted the attack, saying ‘I’ve done it!’

    Previous murder

    Manchester Crown Court, Crown Square, heard Lund had spent a large amount of his life in prison, having been convicted of murder in 1980 after he bludgeoned another man to death in his bed.

    He has today, Wednesday 30 August 2017, been jailed for 27 years.

    Harrowing

    Detective Constable Tom Munnery of GMP’s City of Manchester team said,

    “This vicious and savage attack on a sleeping man is absolutely stomach-turning with the only consolation being Lund will be in prison for a considerable time.

    “In what was clearly a harrowing situation, the victim thought fast to raise the alarm and ensure Lund was found and put behind bars.

    “Having to relive these events through the court case has been no mean feat but the bravery and strength shown by the victim is truly commendable. My thanks goes to him for his courage and my thoughts will remain with him as he recovers from the emotional and physical scars he has had to endure.”

  • Jessie Colter reveals plot to kill him in hotel room

    An adult star has revealed the harrowing story behind a plan to murder him.

    Porn Star Jessie Colter: I was targeted for murder

    San Francisco adult star, Jessie Colter has opened up after a failed attempt at his life. The star revealed that he was the target of two men, who lured him to a hotel.

    The star, who has made no secret of also working as a sex worker, said that he was lured to a hotel by a singular man who claimed that he was a client. However, when Jessie turned up he was confronted by two men. The two, according to Jessie assaulted him and most alarmingly had plans to kill him. Thankfully, Jessie remarks, he was able to escape the two unnamed men and the hotel.

    In the two-minute video, which he shared with his 110,000 fans, Jessie, said, that the experience was deeply traumatic and didn’t want to go into full details about the attack that has left the star shaken. He said he was making the video to help with his healing process and to make other people aware of the severity of the incident.

    He said,

    “They weren’t just trying to assault me. I was targeted for murder. The evidence that was found indicated that these men had much worse plans for me. Fortunately…I managed to get away. However, that’s a heavy thing to deal with. The physical injuries I sustained are nothing compared to the mental injuries that I have to deal with on a daily basis. It’s very hard. Imagine being almost in a horror movie and reliving it over and over again.”

    Jessie says that the incident is now under investigation.

  • When is too much masturbation, too much?

    Is now not a good time to rub one out?

    When is too much masturbation, too much?

     

    Okay, regardless of what any survey says – guys masturbate. Most of them. And, apparently it’s good for you to, studies have shown that.  It won’t make you go blind – unless you pull a Coco Peru in Trick.

     

    When is too much… too much?

    So some guys wank once a week, some one a day, some are completely fanatical about it and spend all day at it – no joke. A stay-at-home-house-husband friend of mine is basically at it ALL DAY. Lucky sod.

    So how much is too much?

    Nurse specialists, Jake and Jenna from the sexual health clinic at 56 Dean Street told us,

    “We should start by saying that masturbation is perfectly normal and almost everyone has had a go at some point. How often you decide to “wax your dolphin” is completely up to you and you shouldn’t feel you need to try and stop. There isn’t a limit to how frequently you masturbate, other than how often you feel like doing it or want to do it.

    “Overall there are no adverse affects from masturbating and if it’s something you enjoy then I think you should go for it”.

    So basically as long as you’re having fun… keep on, keeping on…
