A man has renamed himself after his favourite brand of tea. Nathan Garner, 31, is now known as Nathan Yorkshire Tea Gardner. He changed his name by deed poll. The Mirror reports the brew fan hails from Sheffield in Yorkshire and he drinks at least 15cups a day, including two cups before he's even brushed his teeth. He said: "I was at work one day and my mate Billy said, 'chuffin' hell, you drink so much of the stuff you should change your name to Yorkshire Tea'." I thought it was a great idea, so at lunch I got out my phone and went on to the website and got rid of Derek" - his middle name.

And then just got up and left. No thank you or goodbye, just got up and left. It was the shortest, most bizarre interview I've ever done."
Rubbish removal earner : "I saw this on Trade Me today, not sure whether it's cheeky or genius," writes a reader. "It would usually cost around $100 for waste management to collect the filled bin."

It's as clear cut as this: Treat all women like you would treat Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson...this is a visualisation exercise that will work wonders in your dealings with the women in your workplace. When a woman approaches you, just replace her in your mind with The Rock. Then, behave accordingly..."
