    Hi people, What are you views on hugging friends / general people? We are not talking about partners or loved ones now. Being half Italian I was brought up kissing cheeks (the face ones, before certain people say anything else) and hugging people, no matter the sex. I still hug all my friends...

    Stupid things people do.

    I was at a friends house yesterday and my friends brother went to plug an electric fan in which actually had the back of the plug top missing for some unknown reason.

I took...
