A man who spent thousands of pounds to look like a dog has revealed what his life is like. In July, the man who goes by Toco on YouTube, went viral after he posted a video of himself walking around Tokyo wearing a realistic Border Collie suit, which cost him £12,500 to have custom made. He explained in the video that his life-long dream was to become a dog and explained that he chose to become a Border Collie due to the breed's size.

An OnlyFans model suffered a near-fatal blood clot from a love bite during a steamy sex session. Raven-haired Janet Massa had several ruptured arteries and a paralysed arm after romping with her lover. During the raunchy encounter, the unnamed man gave the influencer a ‘hickey’ but was somewhat over-exertive. According to Janet, the injury was so severe that she lost all feeling in her left arm and “thought she was going to die”. Following the scare, Janet said she dumped her lover and never spoke to him again.

She claimed she suffered a blood clot that went to her heart, causing the paralysis in her arm and nearly prompting a serious heart attack. Janet explained: “The doctors could not understand what was happening to me until they noticed the bruise on my neck and said it could be because of that.” She added: “In the end, they told me that a blood clot reached my heart and caused that paralysis in my arm. “It could have been far worse. “It could have caused a serious heart attack.” After treatment, the influencer - who boasts 120,000 followers on Instagram - said she was observed by medics for several hours before being allowed to leave.

It's a staple on most people's dinner tables, though there has always been some contention over whether Heinz ketchup belongs in the fridge or the cupboard. Some people prefer the fresh coolness of ketchup from the fridge, while others favour ketchup that is room temperature and closer to the hot food they are consuming. Well, now the food processing company has weighed in to confirm where exactly you should be storing your sauce. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter But before Heinz had its say, it asked for people's opinions via a Twitter poll and out of the 6,772 people who voted (this number is accurate at the time of writing), there are mixed responses. Results showed 57.5 per cent of people who voted think the sauce should be stored in the fridge compared to 42.5 per cent who believe the cupboard is the correct way to keep your ketchup. In another tweet, HeinzUK gave their ultimate choice, it wrote: "FYI: Ketchup. goes. in. the. fridge!!!" according to the ketchup makers. If you check the label on the ketchup bottles, it does say that the sauce should be stored in the fridge once opened and needs to be consumed within eight weeks after this. Back in 2017, the Heinz US Twitter account further explained: "Because of its natural acidity, Heinz® Ketchup is shelf-stable, but refrigerate after opening to maintain product quality." This official stance from the company has only sparked further debate on the matter. One person said: "Cupboard as I hate cold ketchup on warm food. Do fridge dwellers eat cold ketchup? Or bring it out hours before a meal?" "So why is it on the shelves in supermarkets & shops then?" another person asked. Someone else added: "People keep it out of the fridge? *gasp*" "Who tf out here keeping opened ketchup out of the fridge," a fourth person commented. Well, there you have it - though it looks like some people are loyal to team cupboard despite Heinz having its say. Have your say in our news democracy.
