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 is the birthday of legendary illustrator Gustave Doré. Let's take a look back at his work... Image
Gustave Doré was born in Strasbourg on 6 January 1832. Aged 15 he became an illustrator for the satirical paper Le Journal Pour Rire. Image
Doré worked on a number of early text comics in the 1850s, including Trois Artistes Incompris et Mécontents and L'Histoire de la Sainte Russie. Image

Was Nancy Drew an '80s fashion icon?

Let's look in the files and find out... Image
Case 32: High Marks For Malice (1989). Nordic knits always work and they're great for detectives. Pastels are very flattering but you'll need a good lint roller if it's a long case you're investigating. This is a clear fashion win. Image
Case 51: A Model Crime (1990). Gold is a hard colour to pull off, but the details are on point here: single button and shoulder pads make it a power look and Nancy has sensibly avoided the '90s waitcoat trend. Another win. Image

Today in pulp: I try to buy a computer... in 1978!

Let's see how I do. Image
First things first: in 1978 you might never actually see your computer. Many people used dumb terminals linked to a mainframe or minicomputer system somewhere in the office basement. Access was on a timeshare basis, with dozens of users sharing access to the same system. Image
If you did have a microcomputer on your desk you were probably an executive. To be honest many CEOs didn't actually know what a computer was or what it did. Image

The Playboy bluffer's guide to appearing well read now follows... Image
"Yes, Mary McCarthy is a much neglected novelist now and that's a shame." Image
"Well I don't know if an Oedipal reading of Hamlet really does it justice, but once you see it you kinda can't unsee it." Image

Today I'm looking at a few books from New York publishing house Grosset & Dunlap... Image
London After Midnight, by Marie Coolidge-Rask. Grosset & Dunlap, 1928.

This is a movie tie-in version, although the last known copy of the film was destroyed in 1965 at a fire at MGM's vaults. It's one of the most sought-after lost silent films now. Image
A Thousand Years A Minute, by Carl H Claudy. Grosset and Dunlap, 1939. Cover by A C Valentine.

Part of the Adventures in the Unknown series, this is a time travel novel sending its heroes back to the prehistoric world. Image

One of the best #Christmas presents you could ever get was a View-Master! It sold over one billion reels across the world, but it's based on Victorian technology. How did one simple gadget get to be so popular?

Let's take a look at the toy that took over the planet... Image
Stereographs are cards with two nearly identical photographs mounted side by side. Viewed through a binocular device they give an illusion of depth. By 1858 the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company had published over 100,000 of them. Image
Sawyer's Photo Finishing Service began in 1919 in Portland, Oregon. By 1936 they had teamed up with William Gruber, who had been experimenting with stereoscope photography using the new Kodachrome colour film. Image
