So the news recently came out that various UK supermarkets, including Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Iceland, and the ever-popular Dunnes Store, were all selling ‘beef’ burgers that turned out to be less beefy and more horsey.   For example, it turned out that horse meat accounted...

  A pretty exciting event happened last weekend. A man, an epic mega man, jumped from a truly sickening height from an equally nauseating, glorified party accessory (to put it in a nutshell). Yes, that’s right. I am back for my second article, yet again on the theme of space and...

  The moon landing was one of the most important moments in human history, and as ever, it was not without its own conspiracies. I mean, who could forget that famous quote from Richard Nixon: ” I did stage the moon landing… on Venus!”     But one cannot...

  Raise up your oscilloscopes and calibrate your spectrometers in celebration, because today is a great day for physics, and Brian Cox’s twitter account!     That’s right, we’ve done it! The pesky particle that inspired the construction of a collosal...

  By now, we’ve seen all the wannabe-superhero films out there, like Kick-Ass, Super, and Defendor (by which of course I mean you’ve only seen Kick-Ass) and don’t they look awesome? Going around, fighting crime, without a care in the world! Unfortunately, when you don’t have...

  Whilst I haven’t conducted any particularly rigourous experiments, I think it’s safe to say that coulrophobia (a fear of clowns) is definitely up there on the list of ailments that plague our children/ourselves. I mean, there’s a reason that The Joker wasn’t...

  Dear everyone,   I can only apologise for the distinct lack of articles lately. But fortuitously for everyone involved, this time we have a reason! You see, we have been working super-hard behind the scenes and can now happily announce that we are initiating Phase 3 of our plan to...

  It’s something that was bound to do the rounds eventually. We all know the fairytale. Very very white socialite meets gangster rapper, they’re seen together shopping, and then the speculation begins. That’s right. In TrendFlux’s big breaking news story this week, we...

  I think, as a general rule of thumb, people don’t like dying. I can’t be certain though, because I’ve never spoken to someone who’s actually done it. My point is, most healthy people expect to survive the horrific maelstrom that is ‘daily...

  Don’t get me wrong, I love McDonald’s. I really do. I even once wrote them this letter (part 2), telling them just how I feel. I’ll wait here whilst you read it.   …   Now that you’ve got a rough idea of my stance on this restaurant, prepare to...

  Sometimes, Christmas and New Year’s Eve just aren’t fun enough, especially for TrendFlux writer Frank Hardee. He has taken it upon himself to devise and/or take part in slightly bizarre games, in order to stop himself from going insane. But by the sounds of things, he...

  Ding Dong. Kim Jong Il is dead.   I have to be honest, when I heard about news early this morning, I wasn’t particularly surprised. Partly because I’d kind of forgotten who he was. I saw the facebook status, the twitter updates… Next stop google (yep, okay, I remember...

  Dear TrendFluxers,   You may have noticed a distinct lack of new content over the past week. This is probably due to one of two things: a) We have been terribly, terribly lazy recently b) We have been busy looking into a number of new and exciting things for the website Whilst...

  Man, I love my job at TrendFlux. Things often happen which I’m not even aware of, like this marvellous video below, that appeared almost out of nowhere last week. The beauty of the video is that it leaves so many questions unanswered. Watch it to find out...
