Exact age Brits are most likely to say ‘yes' to new opportunities is revealed in study
"YES" - the age at which Brits are most likely to agree to new opportunities has been revealed in a new survey. A poll of 2,000 adults found 39 per cent are determined to say 'yes' more often while 69 per cent admit they 'play it safe' in life. 5 It also emerged that just 26 per cent of over 35s feel they are more likely to say yes to opportunities now, than they did 20 years ago. While the average adult typically turns something down as often as twice a week, it has been revealed that 27 is the age when someone is most likely to say yes to new opportunities. Of those who felt the opposite, being settled into a routine (41 per cent) was considered the biggest barrier, while others blamed life being more complicated now (35 per cent), being too tired (33 per cent) and wanting to plan things in advance (33 per cent). And 59 per cent hope to be less 'afraid' of taking on new challenges in the future. 5 5 The study was commissioned by Halfords, which is partnering with 'Yes Man', Danny Wallace, to highlight the positive benefits of being open to new experiences this summer. Danny Wallace said: "Twenty years ago I decided to say 'yes' to whatever came my way… and it led to the best adventures. 'I went places I would never have gone and I met people I'd never have met. I tried new things and made new memories. So, when Halfords asked me to celebrate twenty years by hopping in a car and trying more new stuff, it would have been weird to say no. 5 'Even though when they asked me if I'd like 'to go sea kayaking', I thought they meant they were just going to take me to 'see kayaking', which would have been a lot easier. 'That said, saying yes more is something we should all try and build into our days. 'Yes to something different or new. I wholeheartedly support you doing the same this summer.' The study also revealed the top things Brits would like to try for the first time, with mastering a foreign language topping the list (21 per cent). Others would like to skydive or learn a musical instrument (both 15 per cent) or even move abroad (14 per cent). Go to more gigs and concerts (13 per cent), get a tattoo (13 per cent) and run a marathon (12 per cent) also featured in the top 20 list. 5 Commissioned via OnePoll, it also found 27 per cent have been told by others that they should say yes more often. But 62 per cent reckon they'd be much more inclined to try something new if they were able to prepare for it in advance. Paul Ray, from Halfords, which is encouraging people to give their car a 'Free 5 Point Summer Check' to ensure it's ready for adventure, said: 'While Brits might get set in their ways, 62 per cent feel they would be more likely to say YES if they felt ready for anything, especially when the sun's out and the kids are off school. TOP 20 THINGS BRITS WOULD LIKE TO SAY YES TO FOR THE FIRST TIME 1. Master a foreign language 2. Skydive 3. Learn a musical instrument 4. Move abroad 5. Move to the countryside 6. Go to more gigs and concerts 7. Retire 8. Get a tattoo 9. Go down a zip wire 10. Run a marathon 11. Learn how to dance 12. Climb a mountain 13. Try surfing 14. Travel solo 15. Start a new career 16. Sea kayaking 17. Go on a roadtrip 18. Take up yoga 19. Move to a different city 20. Paint or draw 'Saying 'yes' more often can open doors you didn't even know existed. "Whether it's trying something new, meeting someone unexpected, or stepping slightly out of your comfort zone, those small yeses can add up to big life shifts. 'Don't let worrying about the car be the reason you say 'no' to a last-minute trip to the beach or a spontaneous camping weekend.'

Ariana Grande teases ‘Brighter Days'—Eternal Sunshine deluxe album incoming?
ALBAWABA - Fans of Ariana Grande are excited about the upcoming "Brighter Days." The pop singer has kept fans guessing about what's next by being transparent about the extent of her "Eternal Sunshine" album cycle. She has apparently started the process by creating an enticing teaser, even if it doesn't seem like she's ready to announce yet. The cinematic teaser is thought to be for the companion deluxe for "Sunshine," and it was shared jointly by Grande and the Instagram account Brighter Days. The number-one hits "yes, and?" and "we can't be friends" are from the original edition of the chart-topping LP. Despite her highly anticipated appearance in Wicked, Ariana Grande has failed to deliver any wins since the 2025 awards season ended. The "We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)" singer's supporters have remained steadfast throughout it all. Grande will soon give a memento of her gratitude, seemingly as a thank you. Ariana Grande quietly confirmed the long-awaited release of her Eternal Sunshine Deluxe album today (March 8) with a short teaser. The video, available here, features the boxing and subsequent burning of a teddy bear and other sentimental objects. A figure is seen navigating amid the rubble as the camera cuts to the debris strewn across the pavement. Ariana Grande Instagram profile The revised pre-save link and the post being shared with the account Brighter Days Inc. (a reference to the original Eternal Sunshine) both suggest this, even if the uploaded image lacked a caption confirming it. Four more songs were added to the project by Grande in March 2024: "Imperfect For You (Acoustic)," "True Story (Acapella)," "Yes, And?," which included Mariah Carey, and "Supernatural," which featured Troye Sivan. Fans, however, anticipated more was coming. "It's funny because I really thought that it was just a very concise body of work, and I think, forever in my head, Eternal Sunshine is that album," Grande said when she verified this during an appearance on Penn Badgley's Podcrushed podcast. However, as time progresses, I recognize the need to incorporate some new ideas. I would like to make a deluxe at some time, though I have been writing a lot and may have more to write. Although a rough release date is still unknown, the pre-order and pre-save link (available here) is active.
