ver found yourself sitting at home after a lecture, neighbours over, wondering how to insult someone using British sign language or how to care for Madagascan hissing cockroaches? Yes; then this is the site for you. The general idea behind http://www.videojug.com/ is that people create short videos teaching people less intelligent than themselves, how to do stuff they couldn't otherwise do. These video clips range from learning to tie your shoelaces, to learning how chat someone up on the bus or train (surely a very specialised skill) This web site has two functions; making bored students laugh at badly-made videos whose presenters are about as good as Kelly Brooks was on Big Breakfast; and actually providing useful information. If only a few more celebrities had watched the clip entitled 'How to get out of a car without showing your knickers' the
world would be a better place. There is a lot to be said for this site, it provides useful visual instructions, that really do help idiots like me learn to do the most mundane tasks, take for example my vastly inadequate knowledge of DIY, now vastly improved by clips such as 'How to fit a door handle' and ' How to fix a dripping tap'. This web site would have been useful on Valentine’s Day as it offers advice on a range of Valentine dilemmas, such as 'How to survive Valentines if you are single', to 'How to be romantic yet original on Valentine’s Day'. But if you are one of those people who is perfect in every way visit this site to watch the odd blithering idiot stumble through their instructions. Chloe Adams

destined to distract you from your studies, the abundance of which is truly the bane of my life. Egotastic.com is genuinely dedicated to hard-hitting journalistic issues, with headlines such as 'Keira Knightly has a weird mouth, broken nose and horrible legs' and 'Sienna Miller has stretch marks and cellulite'. The favourite phrase on this website has to be 'nipple slip', referring to the assortment of pictures dedicated to side-boobs and nipple-flashes. These so-called nipple slips include those of Jennifer Aniston, Paris Hilton, and our very own Lizzy Hurley. But the most spectacular nipple-slip award has to go to the outrageously weird exposure of Kate Bosworth, whose nips are just bizarre (check it out). There is also an array of archives for the celeb-trash-hunter to pillage, including that of our favourite, the ever loveable Lindsey Lohan, which consists almost entirely of articles with the word 'rehab' in them: 'Lindsey Lohan ditches rehab again', 'Lindsey Lohan plays rehab hookie' etc. but at least the last article in her archive reassuringly doesn't contain the aforementioned word; indeed, it simply reads: 'Lindsay Lohan's Liver is Fucked'. Egotastic.com really does provide celebrity news and gossip in gargantuan proportions, with numerous categories to search under including movies, music, celebrities and television. The definitive category though has to be 'media files' under which the heading 'up skirt' appears, which does exactly what it says on the tin. Yep, numerous pictures of celebs from a toddlers viewpoint, worth I cheeky peek. Lucy Reader
