Meet Mr Emotionally Unavailable. The ever popular 1970’s Ladybird picture books created by Roger Hargreaves starring Mr Happy, Mr Messy, Little Miss Sunshine, Little Miss Bossy and others, have morphed into their grownup forms, for adults with a sense of humour, reports IOL News. Meet Miss Overshare who tells all about her sex life and Mr Selfie who is obsessive about taking selfies at every opportunity, often putting himself at risk. Others in the new series for “kidults” include Little Miss Passive-Aggressive, Mr Emotionally Unavailable who is afraid of commitment, Mr Humblebrag full of false modesty and Little Miss Hot Mess. There are eight new titles in the new format, the report said. BREAKING up by SMS is so 2014. “Breaking up is hard to do...” or so the Neil Sadaka song says. In fact for some people it’s way too hard to do themselves - the latest and greatest cop out way is to pay someone else to do it for you, according to Metro News. Enter ‘The BreakUp Shop’, an entrepreneurial venture that enables you to give your ex-lover the flick without feeling any pain, at least on your part. The firm promotes itself saying, “Let us handle the messy work of the breakup so you can spend more time swiping right” (on Tinder, that is). The difficult and rather sad communication can be done by a variety of means: breakup text, snapchat, email, phone call or a letter, either standard or customised. You can even send a comforting bouquet of flowers or “gift for exes" to soften the blow.
