Inside Swingfields sex festival where 700 horny guests enjoyed weekend of debauchery in quiet Welsh village

With festival season well and truly upon us, tents are popping up in fields across the UK as thousands gather to celebrate music, film...and sex.

And these are the pictures taken inside Britain's most debauched festival -Swingfields - one of Europe's biggest al fresco sex gatherings, according to organisers.

More than 700 people descended on the quiet village of Trellech in Wales last weekend to enjoy the sights and sounds of the event.

Organisers of the three-day festival, with tickets priced between £55 and £180, kept the location secret until just a few days before it began last Thursday.

But visitors to the event have described the scenes as randy visitors got down and dirty in tents, hot tubs and outdoors while others watched.

A common job-interview question about money is a trap, and you should never answer it directly

Don't blow your chance at a higher salary.

One of the most awkward questions you can be asked in a job interview is "What are your salary requirements?" or "How much are you making in your current job?"

As in many uncomfortable situations, your immediate reaction may be to immediately give an answer, stating how much you make and then explaining what range you'd be looking for in this job.

It's a trap, argues Ramit Sethi, the bestselling personal-finance writer and teacher. In a recent episode of "The Tim Ferriss Show" podcast, Ferriss highlights several of Sethi's lessons that are hosted on CreativeLive, an online classroom company Ferriss works with.

When experienced hiring managers hear a direct answer to that salary question, Sethi says, they immediately think, "OK, gotcha." Because, for example, maybe they were willing to offer you $90,000. But when they hear you were making $60,000, they'll know they won't have to let go of as much of the company's money to appeal to you.

The real story behind the Detroit-made watch Obama just gave to David Cameron

During a recent visit to the UK, President Barack Obama gave British Prime Minister David Cameron a gift: a custom-made Shinola watch with the presidential seal engraved on the back.

It's no surprise that Obama would give Cameron a Shinola - after all, he's a known fan of the company, and has declared it a symbol of American manufacturing bringing jobs back to the US.

And it's true: Shinola makes a high-quality, handsome watch, and it's one of only a few companies currently assembling watches in the US.

The Detroit-based brand has cultivated a cachet among consumers who are looking for a nice watch, but who aren't willing or able to shell out the coin required for a high-end Swiss brand like Rolex.

Angry man burns his ex-wife's car and his own house after being denied a chance to see his child

 

A 29-year-old old man burnt his ex-wife's car and also burnt down his own house yesterday night, July 3 at Balai Panjang, Malaysia, after a demand to see his child was rejected.

The man had faced the court earlier in February for a previous incident of physically abusing his ex-wife. It is believed that last night, he had asked to see their child and when the request was denied, he decided to vent his fury on the ex-wife.



First, the man burnt his ex-wife's Mitsubishi Pajero, which was parked near a petrol station along the Alor Gajah-Melaka Tengah-Jasin (AMJ) expressway. Later, he waited for his the occupants of his home to leave before he set his own house on fire.

Firemen, who had just finished extinguishing the burning vehicle near the petrol station, were summoned yet again to the same location in under 10 minutes to tackle the fire at the man's home. The man was arrested on the spot by the police.

Richard Branson calls out Roman Abramovich for his 'lavish spending'

British billionaire businessman, Richard Branson, 65, says it makes him 'sad' to see the super rich spending lavishly without thinking of the poor. Speaking in the upcoming issue of Collective Hub, he took a swipe at Chelsea FC owner, Roman Abramovich.

'I think it’s sad when people make a lot of money and they want the biggest boat or the biggest car or the biggest plane,' Branson said. 'If they would only realise that happiness comes from people and your family and friends. You know, one or two toys is okay but not that sort of ever-searching… like what’s-his-name, the guy that owns Chelsea (Football Club).
