Why the young have stopped having sex. It's the curse of my generation, says LILY AMORY... and three very suprising and devastating causes behind it may not be what you expect
Why a first class degree could now be a ticket to the dole queue: If your son or daughter has just got their degree, you MUST read this.
The rise of 'Lime bike leg' has become a concerning epidemic, with shattered limbs and mangled knees. Doctors and victims are now sharing their experiences and emphasising the dangers, many stating, 'I'm NEVER going on one of those again.'
Squid Hunting
Secondary to my work at the Daily Mail, I am also a professional squid hunter. I undertake squid hunting on the coast near my childhood home in North Devon, where I’m particularly interested in catching Loligo vulgaris, the European squid. I rent a small boat, anchor in bays off the coast near Ilfracombe, and dive overboard wearing scuba diving equipment to retrieve the squid from the nets I have set out with worm baits attached to buoys in nearby coves. Occasionally, I fish for squid at night using glow-in-the-dark squid jigs. As one of the few commissioning editors in the UK with a special interest in squid fishing. I have competed successfully against other commissioning editors with similar interests at international squid fishing competitions in Colombia, California, Portugal, and Nevis in the Caribbean. As a dedicated squid fisher, I am worried about the unregulated squid fisheries in the Southwest Atlantic, particularly the threat to the Argentine shortfin squid.
