If J.R.R. Tolkien had lived to see Snow White get a live-action makeover, he might have had some strong words. The legendary Lord of the Rings author was NOT a fan of Walt Disney’s work, once calling it “hopelessly corrupted.” Fast-forward to Rachel Zegler’s Snow White, and let’s just say the internet already has opinions. […]

Jon Snow in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series was more powerful and interesting than his television counterpart. One of the most crucial plot points in the show was his resurrection in Season 6, and what he saw during his death debunked a long-standing theory that he warged on his direwolf, […]

A MOTHER has revealed that her family-of-seven live in a two-bedroom council house.
As a result, Lauren and her fiancé Chris, who both have two children from previous relationships, and one child they share, have been accused of being ‘jobless’.
Not only this, but Lauren and Chris, who sleep in the living room in their home, have even been criticised as ‘living off benefits’.
But Lauren, the content creator who has 21,400 followers on TikTok, was eager to silence the nasty haters, as she set the record straight on her situation.
Posting on social media, the mother questioned: “Do people not realise that council house does not always equal jobless and living off benefits?”
Lauren expressed that people will say “wild” things to her, just because she lives in a council property.
Despite her living situation, Lauren shared: “Me and my partner are working extremely hard to get ourselves out of this situation.
“We’re saving up for a deposit to buy a bigger house and people still think that we can’t afford the kids we’ve got.
“I know this situation isn’t ideal, but just because we live in a council house, that doesn’t mean you know our financial situation.”
Lauren revealed that she and her family have lived in their council house for the past 10 years.
She recognised that at “any point in that time” they could have moved out into a privately rented house.
But she recognised that if they did so, they would be paying “three times” more than what they are paying now.
Not only this, but if they did rent privately, it would mean they would “never be able to save up to buy a house” and potentially may have to deal “with rubbish landlords and the risk of being evicted.”
Keen to silence the keyboard warriors, Lauren shared: “Also, we are a blended family, so I didn’t pop five kids out knowing we didn’t have space for them – our kids are not suffering, we’ve made this space work in the meantime and they are going to see how hard their parents can work and hopefully be proud of us one day.”

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @laurenamyt, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 98,800 views, 5,203 likes and 166 comments.
Social media users were eager to support the busy mother and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share the love.
Don’t worry about what others say. Everyone’s just doing what they can

One person said: “I started out in a council flat and I saved and bought a house. It’s hard but not impossible. You got this girl.”
Another added: “I live in a council house. Both myself and my partner work full time. We are so lucky to have this house. Some people have no idea.”
A third commented: “The council is such better stability than private rented when you have kids as-well. I don’t understand people hating.”
Why people keep churning kids out when they don’t have enough room I’ll never know

Meanwhile, someone else penned: “Don’t worry about what others say. Everyone’s just doing what they can. I have 7 kids in a 2 bedroom council house…. I don’t want to move as 2 of my children were born here.”
But despite the support, not everyone was as kind, as one mean troll slammed: “No one is judging you for having a council house, they’re judging you for having 5 kids in a 2 bed house.”
At the same time, another nasty hater rudely wrote: “Why people keep churning kids out when they don’t have enough room I’ll never know.”

ONE of the UK’s biggest networks is preparing to start closing down a major long-running service next week.
And Brits are warned that if they don’t have the right device now they could be left with no data access very soon.
O2 is the last of the big four networks to make the change, as part of an objective agreed with the Government in 2021.
After more than 20 years, the company is ditching its 3G network.
The change will also affect Tesco Mobile, GiffGaff and Sky Mobile, which rely on O2’s network technology.
It means O2 can focus its energy on improving 4G and rolling out even faster 5G to more places across the country.
The end of 3G won’t make much difference to the vast majority of Britons.
But some older handsets aren’t 4G or 5G capable, meaning the 3G shutdown will leave owners with no means of going online when out and about.
This will result in no internet and no access to popular apps like WhatsApp and Facebook.
The only way you’ll be able to get online is when you’re connected to Wi-Fi.
You’ll still be able to make voice calls and texts for now.
2G is sticking around a little longer for carrying emergency calls in remote areas.
The 3G switch off is happening in stages rather than all at once.
So, the City of Durham is the first place O2 is ending 3G on Wednesday (April 2).
The firm says it has reached out directly to the “small proportion of customers” in the area who don’t currently own a 4G or 5G device.
Known vulnerable users have been offered a free upgrade to a 4G-capable handset, while all others affected by the move can claim a new phone at a reduced price.
Most phones released in the last 10 years or so are likely to be 4G and 5G capable.
But if you’re unsure whether you’re affected by the move or not, there is a simple trick to check.
Go into your phone’s settings and search for Network Mode or Preferred Network.
If you see 4G or 5G listed then you are in the clear.

It’s the end of an era.
3G brought significantly faster mobile internet speeds enabling millions to do things like watching YouTube videos without needing a Wi-Fi connection.
But nothing lasts forever, and 3G has been overtaken by 4G and 5G too.
There will be concerns that vulnerable people could be left behind by the move.
Fortunately, the mobile networks have led schemes to upgrade people.
So definitely get in contact with O2 (or GiffGaff and Tesco Mobile) if you need support.
