The joy of Countdown's letters board is that things are left totally up to chance – and every once in a while, we're treated to an epic combo of vowels and consonants.

Like earlier this week, when the show's co-presenter Rachel Riley saw a pretty unfortunate word arise in front of her on the board. After pulling out a 'C', an 'L' and an 'I', Rachel managed to hide her smile as she pulled out the fourth letter, which was – you've guessed it – a 'T':

Oops.

And the silliness didn't stop there, because a few letters later, Rachel was left with this:

The English presenter took to social media after the show, though she seemed surprised with all the attention the unfortunate letter combination had garnered:

if you're the kind of person who gets clammy just thinking about the idea of having to 'make conversation' then this idea is for you.

A hair salon in Wales has launched the first 'Quiet Chair,' for people who'd really rather not talk about their holidays/night out/The X Factor while getting their hair done, thanks very much.

The owner of the Bauhuas Aveda Salon in Cardiff says it'll be a chance for customers to switch off, meaning your next hair cut could be just as relaxing as any other spa treatment.

"Some clients worry they aren’t good at chatting, some just don’t want to do it at all and would rather relax with a magazine," explains Scott Miller.

"We get clients for an hour. There could be complete chaos outside. We wanted to make sure we were giving the ultimate experience."

After an initial consultation with your stylist, you're then free to catch up on work emails, read a few trashy mags or just take some time to think.

And if you're really after a no-noise experience, you can even opt to have your hair done upstairs, in a fully private area of the salon.

"We hope the service will give everybody exactly what they want and make for a pleasant, comfortable experience for everybody, however chatty they’re feeling that day." says Scott.

Now all we need is for 'quiet taxis,' 'quiet dentists' and 'quiet buses' to become a thing…

Let’s face it, breaking up with someone is never easy.

When you don’t know how the other person is going to react at the news, it can so horribly awkward. What if they cry?

What if they get mad? What if their unrequited love for you makes them cause a scene reminiscent of Tom Cruise and Oprah’s couch?

In order to avoid these awkward moments, many people resort to technology. Which, in theory, seems kind of reasonable. In reality it’s very much not.

The #MyBreakUpTextSaid Twitter trend is the perfect (and admittedly hilarious) example of why it is not a good idea to break up with someone via text.

Ouch:

 

Ruthless:

 

Did they even own a cat?

While we appreciate the wit, we understand the reaction:

Oh, and this one was just blatant lies:

Last night the reality series First Dates arrived back on our screens. We followed ten hopeful singletons headed off on blind dates to posh looking restaurants. Followed of course by a camera crew, because nothing settles the nerves like being filmed for the viewing pleasure of complete strangers.

While the whole series itself brings the cringe factor to extraordinary levels, there were some stand out contestants in the latest instalment.

Josh ended up being quite a sweet guy, Anna meanwhile was possibly the fussiest person we had encountered and then there was Lewis. Lewis reminded a lot of people of Hugh Grant, or any British actor to ever appear in a romantic comedy, ever.

The contestants made us laugh but they also got us thinking about some of the worst things that could ever be said on a first date.

"How old are you?… I thought you looked older!"

 

"A lot of people say I look like *insert attractive celebrity*."

 

"You suck at dating."

Anna did not hold back with this comment last night.

 

"Ooh, I wanna order the soufflé but eggs make SO gassy."

Nope.

 

"Round of Jagerbombs for dessert?"

 

"I talk to angels."

 

"Take the service charge out."

 

"Do you like my abs? They look great, right? Here, feel them…"

 

"Oh, I already know how much brothers and sisters you have. I saw on Facebook."

 

"I have Daddy issues."

If you've ever been told by a complete stranger to cheer up when you're feeling perfectly fine, you most likely suffer from Resting Bitch Face, or RBF.

Earlier this week, renowned statistician Rene Paulson said she believed that women who generally looked sullen or downcast without meaning to were actually better communicators.

Us RBF-sufferers must "quickly learn how to communicate and also hone a finely-tuned awareness of both our own emotions and the emotions of those around us," she explained.

That's all well and good, but there are still a LOT of day-to-day downsides of having a Resting Bitch Face. Like the following…

1. People constantly asking if you're angry with them
Even when you're TRYING to smile.

 

2. Making a terrible first impression
"Wow, I thought you were a total bitch when I first met you, but you're actually lovely!"

The 32 Most Iconic Eye Rolls Of All Time

 

3. Always having to be "on" when you meet new people
Which means forcing yourself to smile and be *shudder* …perky.

 

4. Hearing "Smile love, it might never happen!" at least once a day
Just… no.

 

5. Always looking awful in candid photos
They're the devil.

 

6. Catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror unawares and getting a heart attack
"Who's that goblin-faced woman looking like she wants to kill someone? Oh…"

 

7. Trying to do 'sexy photo pout' and ending up with 'bitchy snarl'
You've ruined many a group shot.

 

8. Attempting a smile for the camera and looking completely manic
Showing all your teeth at once is never a good look, btw.

9. Spontaneous jokes never working because people can't tell if you're being serious or not
Even though you TRIED to smile… a little.

 

10. Always being told that your spirit animal is a cat
People says it's because you have nice eyes, but you know it's because of the mutual bitchiness.

Well this is certainly a most awkward situation.

Rita Ora is busy travelling around the U.S at the moment to promote her latest single Body On Me. in between putting some time in at the recording studio in L.A and appearing on late night talk shows in NYC, Rita took some time to herself.

 

Studio vibes. All you need is a packet of crisps and tons of liners. #promoLife #cantwait #bodyonme

A photo posted by Rita Ora (@ritaora) on

She had a quick stop in Las Vegas and while there she of course took a trip down to the casino and gave her all at the slot machines.

Apparently Rita decided to take control of the background music and opted to give a very special surprise performance.

However, it didn’t quite go as planned. She was quickly told to stop singing as one fellow casino goer informed her: “You can’t do that on the casino floor.”

Oops.

Her rendition of the single, which also features Chris Brown, was cut short but Rita managed to see the funny side of things. As the 24-year old carries on with her slot machine fun, her sister, Elena, tries to explain that it’s all promotion for her new single.

 

A video posted by Rita Ora (@ritaora) on

The man however doesn’t seem to care all that much. Not a die-hard Rita Ora fan then? Surprising seeing as the singer sounds pretty amazing in the clip.

The new X Factor judge has had pretty good success with her single, despite failing to impress this particular individual.

Her latest track went to number eight in the charts on its release and her new work pals are also said to be big fans of the star.

The Sun reported that Cheryl wasn’t interested in any rivalry existing between them: "That's not something I am focused on. I think that will be looked at differently now. You see female popstars supporting each other more."

First dates can be brutally awkward. Just imagine your worst ever first date experience. And now multiply it by 10 and have the whole of the internet be able to read it.

We’ve got a lot of second hand embarrassment just thinking about it.

For one unlucky Canadian lady, this unfortunately happened. Toronto based writer Anne Thériault was minding her own business in a coffee shop on Friday when she couldn’t help but overhear some very cringe-worthy antics from the table beside her.

Not wanting the rest of the world to miss out on the suffering Anne thoughtfully live-tweeted the whole ordeal. She graciously did not identify either of the participants. We imagine that they’re very grateful. 

And things just went downhill from there:

Seriously?

 

He likes the sound of his own voice too, his "inner demons" not so much.

Who doesn't appreciate a good coffee though?

Then things got a bit serious….

And mystery girl responded accordingly:

Then she plays it cool.

This is like The Great Escape. 

And she's out of there, thankfully. We're sure it could have been a nice guy, maybe he just got a little nervous. Moral of the story: first dates are just awkward.

Those moments in life where you wish the ground would just swallow you up…aren't they just the worst?!

Here are some moments in life that can get verrrry awkward. Especially if you're an awkward person in general, like us!

1. Going to shake someone's hand but they go for your cheek
So you put your cheek towards them and they pull back and put out their hand. Oh the humanity! 

2. When you're in mass and that 'hand shaking' bit comes and you put your hand out, but nobody shakes it…
Hey, what's wrong with me?!

3. When a stranger is holding a door open for you but you're that little bit too far away and have to half jog…
We have to thank you for making us exercise against our will? 

4. Realising you got charged more than you should have and debating whether to queue again, interrupt the customer now being served or just accept the loss
Ah, it was only €1.50…

5. Going into a restaurant and not knowing if you should wait to be seated or just sit down somewhere free
Just tell me what to do!

6. Walking along happily when you accidentally hit a guy in the groin with your flyback hand
That will teach you not to powerwalk.

7. Getting on Dublin Bus when you're not from Dublin and not knowing whether to say where you're going or how much money you're putting in the slot
Seriously, which is it?!

8. Tripping in public by yourself and not knowing whether to laugh it off or just pretend it didn't happen
The actual worst. 

9. Saying something funny but no one heard you and they ask you to repeat it but you try to laugh it off but they insist and then nobody laughs
Ugh…

10. Meeting an acquaintance on the street and stopping to say hi quick only to realise after that you're going in the same direction
"Oh, ha, hey again…"

Bebo was pretty much every twenty-something’s first experience of social networking (unless you were of the MySpace generation) and by God, did we make the most of it.

Whether it was going all Regina George and re-arranging our Top 16 friends on a whim, frantically checking to see if you had any Luvs left for the day, or spending hours thinking of hilarious in-jokes and poignant quotes to fill up your homepage, there was never a dull moment on Bebo.

The company was sold to AOL in 2008 for $850 million, but after it slowly faded into oblivion with the growth of Facebook, it was eventually shut down a few years ago. In a pretty impressive turn of events, Bebo’s founder Michael Birch bought his company back for just $1 million last year and began the process of building the website into something newer and better.

Earlier this week the company announced their re-launch as a social network app for “people who don’t take life too seriously.”

And to be honest, it's pretty cool. It's got interactive hashtags, an amazing messaging service and some other epic features.

That’s all well and good, except for the other little nugget of information that was revealed alongside that announcement. From January 31st, all photos uploaded to Bebo in its previous lifetime will be uploaded online.

Turns out things you put on the internet really do last forever. We sense some seriously embarrassing revelations coming next February…

Even though we knew that any photo we uploaded to Bebo could potentially have been seen by anyone at the time, there was a certain sense of relief when the site eventually shut down. All of those non-filtered pieces of evidence of our awkward teenage years, that extremely regretful night in Coppers or that two-month period where we decided to take up smoking at 15 to be super-cool… it’s all going to be back online for the world to see.

At the very minimum we can all expect a hefty amount of cringing, some swift deleting and a LOT of slagging. But I reckon this Bebo resurrection could also lead to a few seriously awkward moments for a lot of people.

Whether it’s your boss accidentally coming across those photos of you dressed like a Playboy bunny for Halloween 2006, or your current boyfriend asking why you never told him you scored his best friend years before you two started going out, once the photos go back online there’s no stopping the tsunami of embarrassment from hitting you smack in the face.

So, thanks Bebo for offering us that chance to look back fondly at nostalgically at the past, but we’d rather not. Really. If you could just “accidentally” erase all of our pictures before January 31st, that’d be great, thanks…

We all know the standard relationship 'firsts'; the first date, the first 'sleepover', the first time you call him your boyfriend, but what about the the smaller 'firsts' which are a little less exciting and a lot more awkward?

Yeah, there's way more of them isn't there, girls?

If you've struggled through the majority of the following ten in our list, congratulations; you are now in, what society considers, 'a serious relationship'.

A seriously awkward relationship, more like.

1. The first time you said really over-dramatic things and then cried in front of him until your face melted off.

Can you please ignore the trail of snot leading into my mouth?

2. The first time you realise he really isn’t mad on the outfit you’ve chosen.

I'm dating an idiot.

3. The first time you discuss Christmas present budgets.

There should be no mathematical figure on your love for me, sir.

4. The first time you go to the bathroom and he’s not three rooms away.

Ehm, can you get under the bed, no UNDER it, and put some earphones in please?

5. The first time you see each other dance.

WHAT is that? No seriously, WHAT is that he’s doing?

6. The first time you put on a full face of make-up in front of him.

Ehm yeah, the first 17 products are the reason you asked me on date two, playa.

7. The first time you see how he behaves with his parents.

I sometimes forget you’re actually just a boy who has a mum who loves him and now I feel weird.

8. The first time you have a serious row.

These are ACTUALLY tears of anger, not sorrow, you insensitive, patronising moron.

9. The first time you get period on his bed sheets.

I think someone’s time of the month has arrived and it’s not…oh no wait…it IS mine. My bad.

10. The first time you realise you love him.

It's nothing, I’m just a slave to my emotions and his jawline.

Life can be an awkward thing to handle sometimes. From dreaded sex conversations to housemate trouble – it can all just be so damn AWKWARD! Here are some of life's most challenging conversations to have: 

1. The “no mom, I don’t need a sex-talk…anymore” convo
​Bit late there, ma. 

2. The “those aren’t my condoms, cigarettes or naggin of vodka” convo
​Ah, to be sixteen again…

3. The “do you have an, eh… condom” convo
​Because if not, this ain't happening!

4. The “can you please stop having such loud, horrible sex right above me” convo
​Housemates are the worst

5. The “did you eat all of my almond butter?” convo
​That shi* costs like five euro. 

6. The “I think we need to talk” convo
​It's not me, it's you. You wreck my head. 

7. The “erm…I’m not sure I can have three bridemaids” convo
​Oh gawwwd…

8. The “I’m seeing your ex” convo
​Even though they only shifted twice. 

9. The “we’re moving in together, no we’re not getting married” convo
​That escalated quickly.

10. The “you might want to make a list of anyone who’ve slept with in the last twelve months” convo​
After the anger subsides you realise you have some awkward moments ahead.

We all know how awkward running into an ex can be, but it looks like it’s ten times worse when you’re famous!

There was something of an awkward encounter for Sofia Vergara and her ex-fiance, Nick Loeb on the red carpet at the recent Angel Ball in New York last night.

Sofia was speaking with reporters when Nick snuck up behind her and whispered in her ear, a source told E! News that the moment was an awkward one indeed: “Nick Loeb pushed his way down the red carpet as soon as he saw Sofia. He nuzzled his head into her shoulder … such an awkward moment.”

To make it even worse, Sofia completely ignored him!

The two locked eyes for a brief moment before she quickly moved on with her interview as Nick moved off. 

Sofia is currently dating True Blood hottie, Joe Manganiello while Nick was recently linked to actress Sharon Stone.
