Belfast bus driver Paul Doyle has been praised by thousands for his kindness to a homeless man after a student who was riding his bus posted about his caring act on Facebook.

AnnaMarie McDaniel wrote a post on the Translink Facebook page. She described  how the driver stopped the bus beside a homeless man who was soaked in the rain. 

On the bus home from university there, absolutely miserable wet and cold night. I get the same bus every Tuesday and…

The driver handed him a plastic bag with a winter coat that he had bought for him.

By this afternoon more than 66,000 people had liked the post. There were also close to 2,000 comments that praised Paul and thanked him for making their day. 

Michael Dornan, a representative for the Unite union, told Belfast Live:

"Paul is a very laid-back, reserved and quiet person. He told me he had repeatedly seen this young man standing in terrible conditions with no coat and his clothes were very thin.

This particular day he just said he thought he would try and help and look after him. He put it in a bag with some food. The young lad got very emotional and broke down.”

He added that Paul is a very humble individual and he is taken aback by the amount of people who have responded to his generosity.

This is however not the first time Metro drivers have made the effort to help their local community.

"We as a Union intend to do something on the run-up to Christmas for homeless people, to help them in some way.

They seem to be the forgotten people of Belfast, especially coming up to Christmas."

Yesterday an incredibly, moving story was doing the rounds on the internet.

The reason it had managed to attract such attention so quickly, was largely due to the fact that Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston was involved. 

The story about Jennifer Aniston meeting a homeless teenage mother in Vancouver appeared on Facebook and has gathered over half a million likes since.

The post also has over 46,000 shares currently. 

"I was day tripping to Vancouver from Seattle and stopped in for lunch at a little cafe. From my window I saw a young…

The problem is that this charming story about Jen’s very kind act is not actually a real story.

It was actually posted to a Reddit thread five years ago. The thread was titled, "What is the nicest thing you've ever done that no one knows about?" The post was made by a user who has since deleted their profile. 

The majority of the story is the same, but some parts are slightly different. 

Comment from discussion What is the nicest thing you've ever done that no one knows about?.

Since the Facebook page that posted the story is a just a fan account (the actress doesn't have an official page), people are almost certain that Jen is not the author of the very sweet story that was originally posted online. 

Sorry, Jennifer Aniston fans. 

The post had gathered so much attention that reps for Jen told The Huffington Post that she had nothing to do with the story:

"She does not participate in social media so basically what you see on fan pages is taken from articles they have seen on her.  This particular story we have no idea where it came from and has nothing to do with Jennifer." 

We imagine that Jen is probably happy her fans think so highly of her, but this whole story is also just a bit bizarre.

One Irish comedian has sparked a massive global response with her Twitter antics of late.

Gráinne Maguire took to social media in order to draw attention to Ireland’s abortion laws. 

The 35-year old from Navan decide that “since the Irish state thinks my body is their business, I should take it at its word.” 

She decided to live tweet her period. Not only that, but she was directly the messages to Enda Kenny directly.

When her tweets gathered massive attention last week on social media, BuzzFeed News spoke to Gráinne about her Twitter activity. 

“I just thought since the Irish state thinks my body is their business, I should take it at its word. They get to decide what happens inside it, so they should know the full details,” she explained.  

Many other women decided to join in on Twitter and have been using the hashtag #repealthe8th.

“I never thought in a million years so many people would get behind it,” Gráinne added. “I thought it would just be a silly prank I did on my own.” 

The eight amendment bans abortions unless continuing with the pregnancy would result in death.

“I think the tide is changing in Ireland. Women are refusing to be silent and ashamed, they want equal rights.”

The Taoiseach's twitter account has yet to respond and a spokesperson added people tweet the Taoiseach all the time on all sorts of issues and are entitled to do so. 

Speaking to TodayFm, Gráinne said that if it is possible for her to use comedy to draw attention to the issue at hand, she can handle the criticism she receives.

Remember when the trusty landline phone was the only way to get in touch with your friends?

You knew everyone's number off by heart and would LEG it to get to the phone before your Mam did.

Well, this teenage girl has clearly never had that problem.

Growing up in the era of mobile phones, she's never even seen a landline before, let alone used one. 

Want to feel VERY old? Watch her figuring out how to hang up…

Okay, we're just going to go and apply for a bus pass now because we're clearly not as young as we thought.

Having not one but TWO teams playing in a Rugby World Cup final is something us Irish folks can't really relate to, but for poor Annabelle it's a very real problem.

The youngster lives in Australia, but her mum Andrea Gatchell is a New Zealander, meaning she'll have to shout for both teams in today's RWC final clash.

Poor Annabelle… #thestruggleisreal#goallblacks #undecidedannabelle

Posted by Andrea Gatchell on Thursday, 29 October 2015

Choosing a favourite turned out to be a bit too much pressure for Annabelle yesterday, and her tearful meltdown has gone viral since her mum shared it on Facebook.

"'I really want to go for New Zealand but if Australia lose I'll be really sad … and if I go for Australia, you'll be really sad because you're a New Zealander," she says through her tears.

And when her mum asks who she would prefer to win all she can say is, "I don't KNOW."

Our heart goes out to little Annabelle… but she'll no doubt be celebrating no matter who wins.

When Ellie Farnfield came around to find herself in a strange train station with  no memory of what had happened, she was no doubt a little panicked.

But thanks to one note from a fellow commuter, Ellie was able to put the pieces together.

The 27-year-old had suffered a seizure on a commuter train to London while en route to work. While her mystery helper couldn't stay to introduce himself properly, he did leave a note – which Ellie has shared on Facebook in an attempt to find him.

"Hi Eleanor. I hope by the time you read this you are feeling better. You had a seizure on the train and I took you off," read Tom's note.

"You didn't hit your head but I may have hurt your leg as I walked on it before realising you were on the floor having a fit! Sorry!

"I'm also sorry I can't stay with you now but here is a coffee to perk you up later and £10 to make sure you get a taxi home.

"Sorry I don't have any more money so I hope you don't live far away. I've contacted people from your phone and medical help is on its way and you're with train staff.

"Wishing you all the best and a quick recovery. Love Tom."

Speaking to Mail Online, Ellie, who has suffered seizures before, said she was touched by Tom's gesture of kindness.

"I was very confused. Then I saw the note and the money and felt quite emotional – it was such a thoughtful thing to do," she said.

Ellie's #FindTrainTom post has been shared over 1,300 times in the last 36 hours, but there's no sign of Tom just yet.

For many women, their daily beauty routine can be a source of frustration.

If one brow is aching more than other, or you can’t seem to get your eyeliner to match then you could get up throwing bronzer all over the place in irritation. Don’t even get us started on trying to find the time to ‘bake’ our faces. 

The people at Revlon partnered with Fordham University in the US to see if a daily beauty and self-love routine could help women increase their self-confidence- and improve how they felt about their relationships.

They asked several women to start a daily ritual of self-affirmations and keeping a journal. 

First the women and their partners were quizzed about their relationships- and what they identified at the biggest insecurities and turn-ons for the women.

Confidence was cited as being a big one. Then, the women were given their new daily routine. 

Find a private place where you can spend a couple of minutes going through the ritual:

– Look at yourself in the mirror.
– Apply fragrance or scented lotion.
– Apply eye makeup.
– Enjoy a mint or piece of chocolate.
– Apply lipstick or gloss.
– Take a slow, deep breath. 
– Look at yourself in the mirror.
– Smile.

After one week, they were asked to come back and give a report of how they felt about themselves. Meanwhile, their partners were asked to listen, and things got very emotional. 

After trying their new routine, 97 per cent of the women felt a positive change in themselves. 

It was also discovered that 71 per cent had an “increased desire for romance,” 69 per cent were more open to finding love, 77 per cent felt more outgoing and social and 74 per cent said they were more likely to flirt.

You need to watch the whole video, but grab some tissues first because it will hit you smack bang in the feelings!

Just to further prove to us all that eyebrows are having the most intense beauty moment of 2015, this Reddit user came along.

Chiry was followed by a goat for two miles and he thought it would make a great viral post. It definitely did, but probably not for the reason that he expected. 

Chiry took a selfie and posted: “While on a run, this goat started following me… and kept up for 2 miles (before being picked up by its owners.)”

Normally, the internet loves a funny story that includes a goat. So much so that there is even an app now that literally just makes goat noises.

However, Reddit users could not have cared less about the goat. 

Chiry’s eyebrows quickly became a sensation.

We can see why, look at those brows, they are majestic. ​

So, following internet traditions seeing as we really in the glory days of the meme, people started having fun in Photoshop.

The post went viral for an entirely different reason than Chiry expected. 

We have to have respect for Chirv though. He has taken his internet fame with good humour and has responded to hundreds of users on Reddit.

To be fair, most people probably just want to know how he maintains the brows.

We feel as though that was probably the reason behind the goat following him around too. We just want to make sure that this never happens.

Last week, Bill called BBC Radio Solent during Alex Dyke’s mid-morning show.

Bill is a 95-year old man who decided to pick up the phone and give the show a call because he felt quite lonely. “He called up to say he was lonely and he missed [his wife],” producer Chris Hitchings told BuzzFeed News. 

“I don’t think he had anyone else to talk to.”

Bill has been a fan of the show for a long time and when the team heard his story they knew they had to do something. They arranged for a taxi to collect Bill and bring him to the station.

He joined the show and quickly became the “star”. 

Regular listeners of the show welcomed Bill immediately. They rang in non-stop for the chance to speak to the special guest. “He’s such a nice guy and was lovely,” Hitchings added.

We’re not crying, honestly we’re not crying. 

Bill and his wife has been friends for over 30 years. They had only gotten married last year. 

She had recently been admitted to hospital after taking a bad fall. Bill could unfortunately not provide the care she needed and was sent to a nursing home. 

He visits her every day but still missing her very much. He was apparently thrilled with the company of the listeners and the team behind the show.

You can listen to his call below. Fair warning, this will probably give you more feelings than you know what to do with:

Allow us to introduce you to Sarah McDaniel. Sarah is a 20-year-old model with two different coloured eyes who is currently causing quite a stir online.

With over 42,000 followers on Instagram, her medical condition has led her to find internet fame.

 

A photo posted by Sarah McDaniel (@krotchy) on

The condition is called ‘Heterochromia iridium’. It is considered a genetic abnormality and it occurs in approximately six out of every 1000 births, according to Medicine.net.

A witty social media user, Sarah’s unique looks have certainly got people talking- and they definitely help her stand out from the thousands of other beautiful girls lining up at the doors of model agencies.

California- native Sarah is represented by LA Models, and despite her huge social media following, she is still on the receiving end of plenty of criticism.

The model has had to defend her looks as many social media users insist she must be wearing coloured contacts or changing her eye colour with nifty editing tricks.

She assures everyone the she’s not, and has never needed to thanks to her genetic condition.

Photographer Gregorio Campos worked with Sarah in the past, and told Arsenic:

"Anyone that looks unique, I don’t Photoshop and I think imperfections are beautiful. I like making imperfections look good, whether it’s the atmosphere or the model."

At the moment Sarah is billed as an 'unknown' model, but we have a feeling that it won't be much longer before she's taking over the modelling world entirely.

At this point you have more than likely come across the internet sensation that is the ‘ermahgerd’ girl.

She became a viral sensation in 2012, and there have been many attempts to recreate the meme, nothing can compare to the original.

However, Maggie Goldenbeger the girl behind the meme had absolutely no control over her awkward teenage photo being posted on Reddit and going viral.

In the photo an 11-year old Maggie is sporting some unfortunate pigtails, an interesting vest and a pretty chic retainer and unruly brow combo. She’s also the proud owner of three books from the Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine, in their original 90s editions.

Vanity Fair recently caught up with Maggie to find out what happened when she discovered her alter ego ‘Berks’:

“I just can't believe this is my 15 minutes of fame—I was hoping it would come in another form. But I guess you have to take what you can get,” the 26-year old said.

When the photo first went viral she was travelling to India and the Philippines with limited internet access. So, when someone she didn’t know found her picture on Facebook and uploaded it she had no idea.

A Reddit user came across it while scrolling through a public Facebook album, he had no idea who Maggie was and didn't know the person who uploaded the photo either.

Maggie said that her internet fame is something she finds pretty funny (ERMAHGERD ERCEBERG is her favourite, FYI) until people tried to track her down.

An online quest to identify ‘Berks’ did cause Maggie some distress: her real name was attached to the pictures. An anonymous internet user found and uploaded a photo of her on a beach in Hawaii in a bikini- it attracted some very nasty comments.

“I have no idea who did that,” she said. “And if I'm going to have a bikini shot floating around on the Internet, I’d like to be spray tanned and under a waterfall somewhere.”

So, was Maggie really that excited about Goosebumps in the first place?

“There were a couple I really enjoyed, but . . . I was not an avid Goosebumps reader.”

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?

 

Rugby fans can be brutal:

While we appreciate the wit, we understand the reaction:

Oh, and this one was just blatant lies:
