When we were younger, we spent many hours playing Solitaire on our Microsoft PCs, and literally hours were wasted away trying to win other games like Klondike and FreeCell.

Those were the days, right? Well, now you can play them all again… on an app on your smartphone.

Coming to Android and iOS is the iconic Solitaire, and with it comes a package which includes Spider, FreeCall, Tripeaks, Pyramid and Klondike.

The Solitaire Collection is available to download from the iOS App Store or Google's Play Store now.

Microsoft's Paul Jensen said of the launch: “Microsoft Solitaire continues to be one of the most-played games of all time on Windows for more than 25 years."

“What’s more, the version of Solitaire you know and love on Windows 10 and Windows 8 PC and mobile devices, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, has reached more than 119 million unique players in the last four years alone!”

Well, we know what we'll be playing this weekend.

It's safe to say we'd be RAGING if our parents met our celeb crush… and that's exactly what happened to this girl.

Presley Peterson from Florida loves the Jonas Brothers and often tweets about it:

However, she was taken by surprise when her mother sent her pictures from her holiday in Hawaii and sitting right behind her in the restaurant was Nick Jonas.

Presley simply replied "Holy sh*t" to her mam, and then shared the image on Twitter with the caption, "Mom is sending me pictures of her and dad on vacation when all of the sudden (sic)."

We have to say, it's pretty hilarious.

The tweet has been retweeted over 6,500 times and has 11,000 likes.

If that was us, we'd be on the next plane to join the fam (and Nick, obvz).

Former glamour model Katie Price posted a cosy snap of her children enjoying Peppa Pig by the fire to Instagram this week.

However, the critical comments were soon pouring in as eagle-eyed fans noticed something about three-year-old Jett.

"How old is Jett? He’s still in nappies," asked one commentator.

People were quick to step in and defend the mum-of- five, slamming the haters for their "rudeness."

"Three years old and in a nappy at night time is hardly child abuse! My little boy still wears them during the day at times. Potty training is an individual task that all children are different in succeeding in," said one fellow mum.

"It’s so unnecessary being rude about someone’s family. Why would you even comment. You’re doing a great job @officialkatieprice your kids are beautiful," said another.

Most fans also highlighted the fact that Jett could be wearing pull up pants for bedtime, and not wearing nappies 24/7. 

"Children are usually ready for toilet training between 2 and 3 years old. But each child starts in their own time," says the HSE.

Have you even gotten the sudden urge to attend mass and absolve all your sins?

If so you're in luck, as a Scottish Archbishop may have just created the most Irish Mammy style app in history.

The Catholic App is designed to let users search for the nearest Holy Mass, confessional or diocesan statistics, to help lead the holy to the nearest house of God.

The Catholic App is the first “confession finder” to be introduced as part of a growing trend for churches to use technology to attract congregations.

The app, which is the brain child of Archbishop Leo Cushley, has already been launched in Rome and will then be trialled in the archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh, Scotland.

“The idea was really inspired by the Holy Father himself,” said Archbishop Cushley, who announced the app on Vatican Radio.

“He said to be imaginative about what to do for the Holy Year of Mercy."

The app, which has inevitably been dubbed “Sindr” by online commentators will be launched early next year.

Honey G has encountered her fair share of criticism since rapping her way onto our screens this summer.

And while the aspiring star may have expected pushback from the viewing public, she probably didn't expect to hear herself compared to Brexit… by an actual member of the X Factor team.

While chatting to The Express at the ITV Gala event last night, Matt Edmondson, host of The Xtra Factor, reflected on how far Honey G had come in the process.

And it sounds like he's as baffled as the rest of us.

Trying to sound as diplomatic as possible, Matt said: "It would be an amazing thing for her and a huge deal for the show as we've never had a rapper win."

"In a way, you've got to go with what the public say, but then we said that about Brexit and Trump." Matt added.

Yep that's right, Honey G has just been compared to the two of the biggest controversies of the year.

"I don't think she regards herself as a novelty act, but instead offering something different." Matt reasoned.

Nope Matt, too late now, You've said it.

Forget about winter ladies, Game of Thrones wine is coming… and we are pretty excited.

The hit show has teamed up with Santa Rosa winery Vintage Wine Estates to release a special GOT-inspired wine range.

The wines are set to launch early next year, and they won't break the bank.

There will be a "proprietary red blend", a Cabernet Sauvignon, and a classic chardonnay, with prices starting at just $20.

Director of Licensing and Retail for HBO, Jeff Peters, spoke to Cosmopolitan about the release of this official wine:

"Game of Thrones wines most definitely will add to the fan experience as the battle for the Iron Throne heats up heading into the final seasons."

As Tyrion says, "everything's better with some wine in the belly".

Amen to that.

Most viewers have Scarlett Moffatt pegged as the new Queen of the Jungle, but not everyone has been as complimentary about the 26-year-old Geordie's appearance on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

While some viewers have begun suggesting ITV is biased towards the Gogglebox star, one anti-bullying charity has even gone as far as to accuse Scarlett of bullying behaviour towards fellow contestant Martin Roberts.

Acutely aware her daughter is unable to defend herself against these accusations, Scarlett's mum, Betty, has decided to weigh in on the controversy and speak on behalf of her child.

Betty, whose relationship with her eldest daughter is well documented on Gogglebox, insist accusations made against her daughter have little grounding in reality.

"Scarlett does daft stuff and lacks common sense but she’s not someone to tear other people down," she insisted.
 

 

Happy pride day#pride #mum #love

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Betty wholly supported her child, adding: “It’s her choice what she wants to do with her life, but she’s not hurting anybody."

Taking aim at the individuals who have used Twitter as a platform to deride her daughter, Betty slammed: "If calling my daughter thick or stupid or anything else makes you feel better then crack on."

G'wan Betty!

What comes to mind when you think of Black Friday?

Laptops, wide-screen televisions, and a turkey-fuelled lust for shiny things at knockdown prices?

Yeah, us too.

But if rolling commentary from EWN Twitter account is anything to go by, the Friday following Thanksgiving is a clear illustration of countless people's grim financial circumstances.

While grappling over bumper packs of toilet roll could sum up the hysteria which generally descends once the last morsel of Thanksgiving turkey has been consumed, many people feel a recent Twitter upload is an indictment of significant economic hardship.

"Jesus this is terrible. People are fighting over TVs and they are fighting over toilet paper!" commented one.

"Just a tragic illustration of the low household income of millions of South Africans," wrote one.

"What hurts me is that most people will then not survive the rest of the next month because of money spent impulsively today," added another.

Meanwhile in the UK, reports of a stabbing during a Black Friday sale in Leeds City Centre have begun circulating.

While full details have yet to be confirmed, it is understood an off-duty police officer was stabbed after confronting a shoplifter in a branch of HMV.

If there's one thing we love as much as The Late Late Show's Carpool Karaoke segment, it's their Drop the Mic set-up.

Like Celebrities Read Mean Tweets or the Comedy Central Roast, there's something about seeing high-profile people rip it out of one another that appeals to us, and we refuse to apologise for it.

And in much the same way he brings it on the track, Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt seriously delivered when he appeared alongside James Corden this week.

After being dissed by James on everything from his name to the number of medals he's taken home, Usain stepped up and let that lad have it,

And while the battle was tight, Usain was ultimately crowned the winner.

In a gesture which has left most of us slackjawed this morning – updated reports confirm we were right to be slackjawed –  the founder of Corona beer has made a millionaire of each and every resident of his small home town in north west Spain.

Antonino Fernández, who passed away at the age of 98 last August, bequeathed a staggering £169 million to the people of Cerezales del Condado.

And as the tiny villages boasts only 80 residents, that's a cool £2 million each.

Clearly flabbergasted by the businessman's gesture, Maximino Sanchez, the owner of a small bar in Antonino's hometown said: "We never had any money before. I don’t know, what we would have done without Antonino."

Antonino, one of 13 children, moved to Mexico in 1949 at the age of 32 where he worked for Grupo Modelo brewery – and ultimately helped to make Corona one of the most popular beers in the world.

Antonino, we salute you.
