That lonely agony of suddenly finding yourself retired - these women reveal

The most TRAUMATIC life change of all according to these women is not the menopause or an empty nest, but the lonely agony of suddenly finding yourself retired!!
After dailymail revealed last week how three high-flying women found that retirement was a crushing disappointment, readers wrote in their droves to tell dailymail they felt the same too. They include (top row, left to right) retired legal secretary Chris Walters, 67, from Colchester, Essex, former secretary Rosemarie Smith, 63, from Horsham, Sussex, one-time A&E nurse Jean Walker, 73, from Hull, (bottom row, from left) former university researcher Gwen Marples, 61, from Northumberland, retired community nurse Anne Pinnington, 60, (bottom right) from Leominster, Herefordshire and former customer services assistant Stephanie Field, 61, from Crawley, West Sussex.

Tensions rise in German village where migrants will soon outnumber locals seven to one - as first batch of arrivals moan

Tensions are rising in the sleepy eastern German village of Sumte, (bottom right) where just 102 people live, but where the population is set to rise by 700 per cent with the arrival of more than 750 migrants in the coming days. Sumte's neo-Nazi local councillor, Holger Niemann, (centre bottom row) warns crime will rise and accused Chancellor Angela Merkel of ignoring 'the 300,000 Germans who are homeless' while giving shelter, cash benefits and food to 'anyone who says they are Syrian'. Niemann, 32, from the far-right UWL party, said the migrants are only interested in claiming €500-a-month benefits. He told MailOnline: 'Today it is 100 refugees, tomorrow there will be another 100 and then another 100.' Sumte, where locals (top protesting) will be outnumbered by migrants by seven to one, was chosen as the site for a sprawling refugee centre because it is has empty government offices, with capacity to sleep 1,000. But the village hasn't gone down well with one refugee who called Sumte boring - adding, 'There's no PlayStation and no TV.'

But actually, he only drove lorries. The 44-year-old lied to partner Tracey for 15 years that he'd fought for his country and had his knee obliterated in battle. To perpetuate the lie he posed for 'official' photographs in a fancy dress beret while gripping a BB gun, and posted an image on Facebook of genuine Para Lee Crichton (bottom) jumping from a plane, pretending it was him. Izzard even sent himself letters through the post confirming his discharge from the SAS, which he asked his wife to open, as he manufactured an entirely fictional past for almost two decades. Tracey died in 2012, believing she was married to a genuine British hero.now the truth has been revealed that this guy was not a decorated SAS but a lorry driver.

He checked his security cameras and found the footage which showed the driver, who works for a third party on behalf of Amazon, arrive with two parcels only to discover the property empty.

Snapchatters please take note,here's Snapchat Responds To Chatter About Privacy Policy Change

Social media rumors were taken far too seriously this weekend, as word spread around the globe that Snapchat’s recent privacy policy update gave the company ownership over user content, which includes photos, videos, and text messages. The rumors were picked up by publications that included The Telegraph and The Sydney Morning Herald. Snapchat addressed the rumors in fairly plain language this morning with a statement assuring that its users retained control over their content.
In the statement, Snapchat assured users that they were not storing user content indefinitely.
“The Snaps and Chats you send your friends remain as private today as they were before the update,” the statement read. The company further elaborated that while messages were deleted from Snapchat’s servers after viewing, the company had no control over screenshots or pictures taken by their recipients.
It’s worth noting that the updated terms of service were far from ambiguous when it came to content rights, which just shows you the power of unsubstantiated internet rumors.

Kardel Wilson, six, of Birmingham, (left) wears aged 10 clothes and his BMI is in the 99th percentile. His mum Sam (pictured with her son right) admits that when pennies are right they pop to the kebab shop for fried chicken. Any opportunity the schoolboy gets he is in the kitchen raiding the fridge. One morning he wolfed down a pack of egg mayonnaise sandwich filling, while on another occasion it was a saucepan of cooked rice. The problem began when Kardel broke his foot aged four. Unable to move, he piled on the pounds, but Sam claims not to have noticed until his teachers remarked on the change in his appearance when he returned to nursery. Now he can't help himself.
