14 signs he’s not (and probably never was) that into you
Do you ever get these moments of realisation?
When you finally understand that the bloke you’ve been chasing around (in you head or, for the more affected, physically) for months really isn’t that bothered.
And probably never really was.
It can come in many forms.
A blanked WhatsApp or even a Facebook relationship change with a girl that’s not you (yep, cheers for still texting me though pal!).
And after years of it ‘just not working out’, I’ve developed quite a list. So here it is.
1. You only ever hear from him after 9pm at night
When he’s only got one thing on his mind, and that thing isn’t how your day was.
2. He rarely (read never) rings
All communication is via text. Or Whats’App. Or, even worse, Snapchat. Gross.
3. Sometimes you’ll go for days without hearing from him
And then he’ll like a photo of yours on Instagram. Which is a head f**k.

21 types of people that are the absolute worst, according to Reddit
Look. We’re all terrible people sometimes, whether it’s doing rubbish things or being unreasonably irritated by other people doing rubbish things.
It’s okay. It’s perfectly normal to feel like you might explode with rage when someone takes FOREVER to take out their Oystercard at the barriers.

We’re all grumpy, and miserable, and have intense pet peeves. It’s fine to think that anyone guilty of doing one of those said pet peeves is the worst.
People over on Reddit are sharing their personal pet peeves over on a thread that asks: ‘What type of people are the worst type of people?’ Do not be these people.

11 of the best modern sci-fi authors to read this Science Fiction Day
Science fiction is having a moment.
Posters for Amazon’s serialisation of Philip K Dick’s Man In The High Castle have shocked and confused public transport users worldwide, while the hype around Ben Wheatley’s highly-anticipated adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise, out in March, is reaching fever pitch.
There’s a battered copy of A Clockwork Orange littering every teenage boy’s bedroom, and Aldous Huxley and Kurt Vonnegut are just a few of many iconic names to have reached literary classic status.
But science fiction didn’t die with H.G. Wells. If you don’t know your Brandon Sanderson from your Brian Staveley, here are 11 authors you might be missing out on.
1. Lauren Beukes
Beukes’ award winning 2010 novel Zoo City was critically acclaimed, and the South African author didn’t disappoint with last year’s follow up Broken Monsters. In a city that represents the death of the American dream, a killer is on the loose.
It’s well worth a read, but if you don’t believe us, listen to Stephen… Read the full story http://ift.tt/1P7HNae January 02, 2016 at 10:00AM
