Well that's annoying. Twitter for Android has stopped loading any images!
- it's not my settings
- it's not my phone
- it's not my data provider (so they say!)

Can you do me a favour? Hit 'like' if you can see a pic below of a man fighting an octopus. Reply if you can't.
Hmm... looks like I can transmit but I can't receive images on the app. And I can't load the desktop version of Twitter on the laptop. Keeps saying 'something has gone wrong'

Any ideas folks?
OK, a few folk in the south of the UK are reporting the same problem. I'm going to assume technology is ganging up on me and go to bed.

Let's see if this 21st Century Ceefax thingy works tomorrow...
Status update:
Hello @VodafoneUK, please see below:
- the pic on the left is Twitter for Android using the Vodafone network
- the pic on the left is Twitter for Android using the O2 network

Are you having some problems? I'm not the only UK user having this issue with Twitter and Vodafone...

Today in pulp I'm looking back at one of the greatest albums of all time.

What are the chances... Image
By 1976 Jeff Wayne was already a successful composer and musician, as well as a producer for David Essex. His next plan was to compose a concept album. Image
War Of The Worlds was already a well known story, notorious due to the Orson Wells radio play production. For Wayne it seemed like a great choice for a rock opera. Image

Today in pulp I'm looking back at a very popular (and collectable) form of art: Micro Leyendas covers! Image
Micro Leyendas (mini legends) are a Mexican form of fumetto, small graphic novels normally pitting the everyday hero against the weird, the occult and the unfathomable. Image
The art of Micro Leyendas is bold, macabre and very funny. The books often tell a cautionary tale of revenge or humiliation, much like a modern folk tale. Image

Today in pulp: what makes a good opening sentence for a pulp novel?

Now this is a tricky one… Image
The opening sentence has an almost mythical status in writing. Authors agonise for months, even years, about crafting the right one. Often it’s the last thing to be written. Image
Which is odd, because very few people abandon a book if they don’t like the first sentence. It’s not like the first sip of wine that tells you if the Grand Cru has been corked! Most people at least finish Chapter One. Image

The Time Machine, Brave New World, 1984: these weren’t the first dystopian novels. There's an interesting history of Victorian and Edwardian literature looking at the impact of modernity on humans and finding it worrying.

Today in pulp I look at some early dystopian books… Image
Paris in the Twentieth Century, written in 1863, was the second novel penned by Jules Verne. However his publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel rejected it as too gloomy. The manuscript was only discovered in 1994 when Verne’s grandson hired a locksmith to break into an old family safe. Image
The novel, set in 1961, warns of the dangers of a utilitarian culture. Paris has street lights, motor cars and the electric chair but no artists or writers any more. Instead industry and commerce dominate and citizens see themselves as cogs in a great economic machine. Image

Time once again for my occasional series "Women with great hair fleeing gothic houses!"

I assume everyone's doing it this #Halloween ? Image
The Legend Of Crownpoint, by Monica Heath. Signet Books, 1974.

A lot of moss on that heath... Image
The Legend Of Holderly Hall, by Kate Cameron. Leisure Books, 1974.

This is number one in a series of four novels, proving that nobody really reads Trip Advisor hotel reviews... Image
