I ditched the UK for Australia & I'd never return – I work less hours for more money & see dolphins on my morning walk
Lewy revealed that he wouldn't even move back to the UK for £50,000 AUSSIE DREAM I ditched the UK for Australia & I'd never return – I work less hours for more money & see dolphins on my morning walk A MAN has revealed that he will likely never return to the UK, after upping sticks and moving to Australia. In February, Lewy and his partner made the bold decision to relocate to Adelaide, after becoming sick of the "miserable weather and negative people". 2 Lewy ditched the UK for sunny Australia Credit: 2 He now lives a three minute walk from the beach Credit: The couple describe themselves as "normal people" without much money, said they were able to move to a "stunning" neighbourhood, that "wasn't expensive". Lewy said that it had been their dream for 10 years to live in Aus, and added that his and his partner's life has greatly improved since ditching the British Isles. "It's highly likely that we will never live in the UK again because it cannot offer us the life we've got now", he said in a video posted to his TiKTok channel @lewyp23. Lewy revealed that he is no longer "overworked" and "stressed" and is paid more for his job in Australia than he was in the UK. He added that the cost of living in Adelaide is much cheaper than it was for him back home, and that the people seem so much happier and fulfilled. The TikToker claims that he would have to earn a whopping £150,000 a year to have the same quality of life in the UK as he does in Adelaide on his "average" wage, and added that he wouldn't even move back to the UK if someone gave him £50,000. Lewy now lives just three minutes walks from the beach, and as soon as they finish work, he and his partner take their dog out for sunny seaside walks. He has even spotted pods of dolphins during his beach walks, which he said always leave him in "disbelief". Even in winter, the weather in Adelaide is warm and sunny, meaning that Lewy and his partner can have year round fun, without spending a penny. "You don't realise how much the weather affects you until you move to a nice place", he said. I fled the UK for sunny Dubai - life back home is miserable & no-one has any cash "We're happier, it's just fantastic." Another thing that Lewy loves about his life in Adelaide is the lack of crime. "It's safer her in Australia, you see a lot less nastiness." He added that he and his partner now do lots more on the weekends, and are able to be so much more social, as they are no longer stressed. How easy is it to move abroad? Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving: Notify HMRC about your upcoming move. Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address. Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving. If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad - contact the International Pension Centre. You can sign up to the Royal Mail's redirection service. If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre. If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools. He described the supermarkets, which are packed full of fresh fruit and veg as being "incredible" and said that older people look much more youthful and full of life. Lewy is urging others to follow in his footsteps and ditch the "miserable" UK. He said that anyone under 35 can easily get a working holiday visa, and added that the country is especially looking for tradesmen. He said: "Why are you waiting to get out of that horrible place when you've got this waiting for you? "The people are really lovely and you've got a life waiting for you with way less stress." "You get one go at life, you have to take risks"

This 20-year-old karaoke singer belted out a '90s R&B hit on a cruise. Here's how his life changed
A 20-year-old man from Georgia dubbed 'Carnival Cruise Tyler' has become a surprise sensation after he belted out a popular '90s R&B hit while on vacation with his family. Wearing his baseball cap backwards, a dark hoodie and shorts, Tyler Heyworth sang R&B icon Keith Sweat's 1996 sultry smash 'Nobody' before a crowd that showed some swaying, dancing, cheering, laughing and singing along. His performance ended with a standing ovation from fellow passengers on the Carnival Cruise line and videos that went viral on TiKTok. Billboard described in an article on June 18 that Heyworth's performance caused 'multiple crowd freakouts,' noting his 'understated confidence,' 'engaging' moves and 'strong vocals.' The viral videos were linked to streams of Sweat's song surging in the U.S. by mid-June, Billboard reported. Sweat's 'Nobody,' which featured Athena Cage, was released nine years before Heyworth was born. Because of his internet fame, Heyworth got to meet Sweat. He posted a video on July 5 of the moment, drawing more than 82,000 likes on his TikTok account. '(T)hank YOU guys for blowing up the karaoke videos and getting me noticed by THE @Keith Sweat!! BEST SUMMER EVER FR,' Heyworth wrote on the post's caption. Sweat also posted an Instagram video of the meeting on July 7, mentioning that his team had 'surprised' him by inviting Heyworth and his family. Sweat even invited Heyworth to sing 'Nobody' with him on stage at his show at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Fla., over the weekend, according to a post Monday by independent music blog Stereogum.

Generation Zers struggle to focus
Woman scrolling on her phone Credit: BANG - Entertainment News BANG - Entertainment News Bang Showbiz Generation Zers struggle to focus. A study by Extra found over half of those aged 18-24 failed to focus on a task for longer than 30 minutes. It was said that three-quarters of Gen Zers - people born between 1997 and 2012 - like to procrastinate because their mind is occupied with something else. It comes as the research found that 34 per cent of the demographic cohort uses the video-based social media platform TiKTok and 20 per cent play video games when on breaks. Hannah Lee, from Extra, is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Procrastination gets a bad rap, but a healthy dose can help your brain reset. "Those little 'me moments' can create breathing space to help you get back in the zone."
