They come straight from the stage of contemporary Paris, for Degas, 40 and growing increasingly frustrated by his lack of success, found common cause with a gang of younger upstarts and, along with Manet, became the first to start painting scenes from modern-day life. His delicate nymphs have feet of clay. They have aching muscles and pains in their joints.
The family Hammond is knackered and fed up. We are all dead on our feet. Full of colds, laryngitis, coughs, so much snot and lots of grumpy moods. That includes all four of us! All that is needed this weekend is chilling and relaxing in the warm. As pictured, the girls have got a head start on the adults in the house.

... of Fear, Therapy Culture and Paranoid Parenting, talking about our outsized fear of risk in modernlife, especially as it relates to children. Watching their discussion made me extremely happy to be living in the UK. Why? Does she actually approve of the over-regulation that makes head teachers demand CRB checks of parents attending carol services, or looks set to force sixth formers...
Super caffeinated energy drinks have surged into popularity over the past decade. Research undertaken in 2005 suggests energy drinks account for approximately £1 in every £5 spent on soft drinks. Modernlife has created what we could call an exhaustion epidemic. With many people trying to keep up with impossible work loads, family life, and even internet social networking,...
You would think no one could make this stuff up and be serious about it. I mean really. Who actually falls for this? OK, where do we start? The premise of the advert is that modernlife constrains us, forces and squeezes us into a generic bland consumer one-size-fits-all mould. It shows us all facing the dull hindrances of life, with dull jobs just like everyone else. Just like...
