AAP 100,000 men sick of copping a monthly serve from cranky wives and girlfriends have signed up for an online reminder service that warns when pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) is about to hit.

PMSBuddy.com, the brainchild of a 28-year-old bloke whose mates were too often in cycle-related strife, is designed for men who have a darling of a partner for three weeks of the month – and a demon for the rest.

The reminders include pithy messages of encouragement such as “She’s on yellow - tread carefully, fella” - as well as tips for how men can mitigate the damage.

"It's hard for guys to know if they did something to piss off their lady and hard to remember when PMS is, and always awkward to confront and ask the question without coming off like a jerk,” he told news.com.au.

AAP MYSTERY plotters attempted to kill the Queen during an Australian visit and it was only luck that prevented it.

Former Detective Superintendent Cliff McHardy has sensationally claimed the Queen and Prince Philip were travelling across the Blue Mountains towards Orange on April 29 1970 when plotters attempted to derail their train.

The now retired 81-year-old police officer claimed a wooden log was placed on the railway tracks ahead of the monarch's train but failed when it simply wedged under the wheels and slowed the train down until it eventually stopped at a crossing.

The identity of the culprit has always haunted the retired officer who bemoans that he, or she, was "the one that got away".

A simple blow to the head with the log would've been a better option.
