10 SMILES OF THE WEEK

JUST DESSERTS

Today is National Ice Cream Day. What better excuse to grab a 99? The good news is, even in Scotland, it’s never too cold for ice cream!

GIVE IT A BAD NAME

Researchers found the 20 most nastysounding tourist destinations, including Rottenegg and Windpassing. We’re glad we’re not going to either this year, but they certainly made us giggle.

MESSAGE RECEIVED

New Scottish music festival TRNSMT will be back after making £10million for the economy. Music to our ears!

SOUNDS GOOD TO US

And as if that’s not enough, living close to a music festival can be lucrative. A study found festivals can boost the value of nearby properties by as much as 26%.Time to break out the ear plugs!

TOO MUCH TABLET

Binge eating could be beaten with a simple pill, say scientists. Great for us greedy eaters – but what if you want to keep eating the pills?

WE’RE ON BOARD

Board games are making a comeback, with a 20% rise in annual sales. Now, where’s the Trivial Pursuit?

BREWTIFUL

Three cups of coffee per day can extend your life. Going by the caffeine intake of iN10 Towers, some of us will now be immortal.

BLOBBY BOBBIES

The Met Police have ordered 8000 plussize uniforms, up to a 61in waist, for chunkier cops. The not-so-thin blue line!

AIRPORT IS FLYING

Over a million people used Glasgow Airport last month – a record. Good to hear numbers are sky-high.

SCOTLAND’S SCORCHER

Things looks set to sizzle this week, with temperatures up in the 20s. It might have taken its time, but looks like summer might have finally arrived.
