Fashion - If You Haven't Got it, Flaunt It By Jo Allison
|
|
David Bailey's most recent project, Democracy, takes a frank, naked view of the real human body. Just what we need in our aesthetically obsessed society.

|
|
Lost your patriotic sense of what it means to be British? Do not despair.
As Gordon Brown urges us to celebrate Britain, Jo Allison re-introduces us to our classically cool English Heritage, from traditional tea to quaint seaside holidays.

|
|
Supermodel Elle McPherson has backed out of a £1 million contract with luxury
fur company Blackglama over fears that she will be targeted by anti-fur extremists.
But should we really ban fur? Or are we being manipulated by anti-fur movements?
I like fur. I don't wear it very often, partly due to the unforgiving looks of
those from the I'd rather go naked

Articles - Identity Cards by B.Brother
|
|
You may have heard that legislation creating compulsory ID Cards passed a crucial stage in the House of Commons.
You may feel that ID cards are not something to worry about, since we already have photo ID for our
passport and driving license and an ID card will be no different to that.
What you have not been told is the full scope of this proposed ID card, and what it

Articles - Memories of Hull By Frank Storey
|
|
I was most interested to read the article by
John Firth regarding the fish shop owned by
his grandmother in Redbourne Street.
I worked at Gordon Street Police Station in the ranks of Constable, Sergeant and Inspector
during the period 1947 to 1966, I well remember the Beatles visit - they used
my office to get changed!
I had a great leg pull with a young girl who was an avid Beatles fan, - we gave her a

|
Sometime on Friday 20th January a bottle nosed whale was spotted in the Thames River.
This unusual event caused quite a stir in the capital later that day the 18ft whale
tried to beach itself in the shallow waters by Westminster Bridge.
Volunteers and specialists alike tried to encourage the whale back the way it came
into the deeper parts of the river.
On the Saturday it was thought to have gone back towards the mouth

Articles - Partners In Parallel At Law Firm By Julian Woodford

The truth really is stranger than fiction.
Who'd have believed that the lives and careers of two young women lawyers could have followed such remarkably similar and parallel paths - and without them knowing it.

the Hull firm, Williamsons Solicitors, both started their education at the same

Articles - More Famous Than Christmas By Jim Higo

You can guarantee that some things never change. Sickening over-indulgence, excessive eating and drunken abuse of your work colleagues, followed by obnoxious obscenities, mindless violence and the inability to string together a coherent sentence.
Yes, that's John Prescott for you.
This Christmas I have managed to stay as close as possible to the true and original meaning

Articles - Consolation Prize By Lydia Rivlin
|
|
I came to Hull at the beginning of the year, to run as the Conservative Candidate for Hull North.
I am a Leeds girl and would have loved to have got back to Yorkshire (yeah, I know
Hull is supposed to be a separate entity, but as I said, I'm a Leeds girl).
Well, I didn't make it. Labour got the seat and what I got was the consolation prize.

Articles - I'm Dreaming Of A Weird Christmas By Maurice Fairfield
|
|
I spent roughly half my life in Hull and the North of England and I could count the number of White Christmases on one hand. Cold, yes. Wet, yes. Bitterly cold, yes, but rarely white.
Yet most of the cards featured gabled houses with icicles dangling from the eaves.
Horses pulling sleighs, and always masses of that frigid white stuff.
Most of the yuletide snow I have seen is artificial

Articles - Made In Hull: Stories 1969 - 2005 Part 4 By Rich Mills

Through the large glass double doors I could see a number of other residents. All were transfixed by the pretty flashing lights emanating from the box in the corner, but I knew they were all fully aware of Laura and I approaching. We stood for a moment watching the specimens through the glass, briefly examining their static behaviour as they gave nothing away except a sense of loss.
