In 1994 Pulp were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize for their album His ‘n’ Hers and they succeeded in winning the prize for Different Class in 1996.

The best photos taken are ones that cannot be retaken. They are spontaneous and the photographer will not be aware of the wonderful outcome of their shot. That is why it is essential to always have your camera charged, bringing your li-42b camera charger with you everywhere!

Take the photo above for example. Imagine Charles C. Ebbets’s camera battery had died when he reached the top of the skyscraper. One of the most iconic photos in history would not have been taken. Shot during the construction of the RCA building, the photograph captures eleven men eating their lunch on a girder 69 floors high. The photo appeared in the New York Herald Tribune on October 2nd 1932. ‘Lunch atop a Skyscraper’ has often been misattributed to Lewis Hine who documented the construction of the Empire State Building in 1931. There is a compositional resemblance between the work of Ebbets and that of Hine but thematically they are dissimilar.

Les Aventures de Tintin (The Adventures of Tintin) is a series of comic books produced by Georges Rémi (1907 – 1983), a Belgian artist whose pen name was Hergé. More than 350 million copies of the books have been sold to date and the series has been translated into over 80 languages, making it one of the 20th century’s most popular European comics.

The series first appeared on 10 January 1929 in La Petite Vingtième, a supplement for children to Le XXe Siècle, a Belgian newspaper. The series is set in the 20th century and its hero is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter who is accompanied by his fox terrier dog Snowy. As time went on, there were additions to the cast such as Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, and Thomson and Thompson. In several of the comics, Hergè and his assistants sometimes appear as background characters. The stories always incorporate slapstick humour and later strips are characterised by satire and often, political and cultural commentary.

What is that goo that accumulates in the inner corner of one’s eye?

Well, it is called Rheum and is it is thin mucus which during sleep is naturally discharged from the eyes, mouth or nose. Henceforth I shall refer to ‘Rheum’ as ‘sleeping dust’ as the latter is so much nicer on the ears. When sleeping dust dries it gathers as a crust in the corners of the mouth or eyes, under the nose, or on the eyelids.

What’s in it?
It is definately not a r4i gold card! Sleeping dust is comprised of mucus, dust, skin cells, blood cells and nasal mucus.

Other names for it?
Many others have also sought other ways of referring to ‘Rheum’ such as; eye boogers, sleep, sleepy sand, gound, or eye gunk.

Why do I only get it at night?
When awake, the eyelid’s blinking causes sleeping dust to get washed away with the tears from the nasolacrimal duct. When sleeping, the absence of blinking leads a small amount of dry sleeping dust to accumulate in the corners of the eyes.

I've just joined my local gym in the desperate attempt to stop being a fatty and become a fitty instead.

It's a nightmare though, costs a fortune! They tried to charge £49.99 a month, and we managed to get it done to £42.50 because there were two of us, but it's still ridiculously pricey. It includes everything - gym, pool, sauna, steam room and classes, but it's a cheek for a council-run gym. I just wanted gym entry, no frills, but it's £9.50 per session and you have to pay for a £45 induction!

Anyway, I've donned my new adidas trainers and headed down there three times this week, and I'm going to take a couple of classes too, I just wish I had more time to make the most out of it! I feel like I'm being bled dry to pay for it, I might as well get my fitness on!
