Best Break-Up Text Ever? Girl, 11, wins internet with brutal but brilliant put-down after boyfriend cheated on her

Best break-up text ever? Girl, 11, wins internet with brutal but brilliant put-down after boyfriend cheated on her
Katie Nickens from Texas split with her boyfriend via text
The 11- year-old's messages were shared on Twitter by her 17-year-old sister Madi and have gone viral
The witty one-liners spawned numerous memes and thousands of retweets







An 11-year-old who dumped her 'womanizing' boyfriend by text has unintentionally become an internet star overnight.

Katie Nickens from Texas was enraged after discovering that her love interest Joey had taken another girl to the park. She then sent a string of acerbic messages to him to end the relationship.

Her older sister, Madi, 17, found the witty one-liners in her 11-year-old sibling's put-downs too priceless to keep to herself and shared the results on her Twitter page yesterday.



Since then the tweet has been retweeted more than 7,000 times and garnered 11,000 favorites.

'Oh my goodness it has been crazy,' Madi told Daily Mail Online of the response on social media.

The message has also spawned numerous memes in just 12 hours and been written about from the UK to Australia.

Showing incredible word skills for her age, the child in question delivers a stream of texts that leave her boyfriend struggling for a comeback.

Katie starts with asking the young man why he went to the park with Natalie when she had already given him two chances and pointed out that he had declared his love for her recently



When Joey claimed he was just 'hanging with her', his girlfriend was having none of it and gave him strict instructions not to speak to her at middle school, before claiming that she never loved him anyway.

When Joey suggests that the irate middle schooler probably did love him because she had bought him a Starbucks, she delivers the final blow that set Twitter on fire.



Katie writes: ‘Ding ding ding! Oh what was that, oh yeah the elevator, cause your (sic) not on my level!!!’

'I won this fight.'

 Madi posted screengrabs of the messages with the words: 'HAHAHAHAH oh my god my sister’s “official break up” with her bf.'

With train delays on the rise, New Yorkers have been spending an increasing amount of time in subway stations this summer. One enterprising New Yorker has thought of a pretty brilliant way to pass that time: going on dates.

Thomas Knox has been hitting up train platforms across the city with a table, two chairs, a simple vase of flowers and, occasionally, a game of Connect Four. Then, he waits for idling commuters to take a seat and, well, get to know him a little better. Over the last 10 days, he’s posted over 30 of these “subway dates” to his Facebook and Twitter pages.

"I wanted to do something fun in the subway due to all the negative things that happen," says Knox. "I wanted to make people smile and enjoy the commute. I feel each date has been successful in its own unique way. The general reaction has been positive and hopeful."

140-year-Old Bottle Of Beer Selling for £600

 The bottle

A 140-year-old bottle of beer brewed for an arctic expedition is to be auctioned after being found in garage

The beer - Allsopp's Arctic Ale - was brewed in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, for an expedition led by Sir George Nares in 1875.

The unopened bottle was discovered in a box in a garage in Gobowen, Shropshire, but auctioneers said it was a mystery as to how it got there.

The bottle is expected to fetch up to £600 when it is auctioned on 13 June.

Auctioneers Trevanion and Dean, in Whitchurch, described it as "very special".

'Sweet tasting'
 Aaron Dean, a partner at the auctioneers, said: "The beer was brewed for an expedition to the north pole which, unfortunately, didn't get there.

"It was made to a certain recipe, so it lasted, and it was slightly medicinal.

"It went all the way to Portsmouth and it was loaded on to the ship as cargo, to go out with the HMS Alert and HMS Discovery.

"Unfortunately, the expedition didn't quite make it to the north pole, so it came all the way back again."


Ice cold bitter

 ◾The 1875 expedition was led by Sir George Nares, a Welsh naval officer
◾Although Nares was able to travel via a waterway between Greenland and Ellesmere Island - now    named the Nares Straight - he was not able to reach the North Pole
◾The explorers suffered from scurvy and poor equipment and were forced to retreat

line break
Mr Dean said he was "not sure" how the beer had ended up in the garage.

"It came from the vendor's father but where he got it from, we are still investigating.

"It's a curio, it's a historical object."

He said he had researched what the beer would taste like.

"A similar bottle has been opened previously and was described as 'sweet tasting with a hint of tobacco'," he said.



Why is God not female?

 Strigel, Bernhard (circa 1465 / 1470 - 1528), painting, "god the father in clouds"



A group in the Church of England is calling for services to address God as "She" as well as "He". The question of God's gender goes back to the early Christian Church, writes Stephen Tomkins.

The Christian Church has always had a bit of a problem with God's gender. He doesn't have one, but - as that statement demonstrates - it's hard to talk about God without giving God a gender. To talk about God we have to call God something, and avoiding pronouns altogether is cumbersome, as I've just demonstrated again. "It" seems a bit rude, talking as if God was an impersonal force like gravity or inflation. So God has to be "He" or "She", and in a patriarchal society there's no contest. As The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: "God is neither man nor woman: he is God".

UK Doctors Find Cure For Cancer

 Melanoma cell

A pair of cancer drugs can shrink tumours in nearly 60% of people with advanced melanoma, a new trial has suggested.

An international trial on 945 patients found treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab stopped the cancer advancing for nearly a year in 58% of cases.

UK doctors presented the data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Cancer Research UK said the drugs deliver a "powerful punch" against one of the most aggressive forms of cancer.

Melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, is the sixth most common cancer in the UK - it kills more than 2,000 people in Britain each year.




Defensive boost

Harnessing the immune system is a rapidly developing field in cancer research.

The immune system is a powerful defence against infection. However, there are many "brakes" built in to stop the system attacking our own tissues.

Cancer - which is a corrupted version of healthy tissue - can take advantage of these brakes to evade assault from the immune system.

Ipilimumab, which was approved as an advanced melanoma treatment by the UK's health service last year, and nivolumab both take the brakes off.

An international trial on 945 people showed that taking both drugs led to tumours shrinking by at least a third in 58% of patients - with the tumours stable or shrinking for an average of 11.5 months.

 The figures, published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine, for ipilimumab on its own were 19% and 2.5 months.

 'Big future'

 Dr James Larkin, a consultant at the Royal Marsden Hospital and one of the UK's lead investigators, told BBC News: "By giving these drugs together you are effectively taking two brakes off the immune system rather than one so the immune system is able to recognise tumours it wasn't previously recognising and react to that and destroy them.

 "For immunotherapies, we've never seen tumour shrinkage rates over 50% so that's very significant to see.

 "This is a treatment modality that I think is going to have a big future for the treatment of cancer."

POISON IN 73% OF CHICKEN WE EAT,,


 


Nearly three-quarters of fresh shop-bought chickens have tested positive for a food poisoning bug in a test by the industry watchdog.

The Food Standards Agency survey found 73 per cent of birds were contaminated with harmful campylobacter.

Of those tested, 19 per cent were found to contain the highest level of the bug, which affects an estimated 280,000 people a year.

In serious cases, victims of the bug can be bed ridden for weeks.

One woman claims she was forced to take two months off work after contracting the bacteria in Bulgaria.

The 12-month survey, running from February 2014 to this February, looked at the prevalence and levels of campylobacter contamination on fresh whole chilled chickens and their packaging.

 The results showed that all of the major retailers failed to reach the industry target for reducing the bug over the period of the survey.

Asda had a higher-than-average incidence of chicken contaminated at the highest level, while Tesco was the only supermarket to fall below the industry average.

The FSA's cumulative results from the first three quarters of the survey show that the overall rate of contamination has stalled at 73% since February but risen from 70% in November and 59% in August.

A second year of testing will begin this summer to measure the impact of interventions being introduced by the industry to tackle campylobacter.

More than 4,000 samples of fresh whole chickens and packaging have been tested from large UK retail outlets and smaller independent stores and butchers.
