From eBay: 
Two full-colour pages autographed by the God-like geniuses who are SPARKS. 
One page is signed by Ron, the other by Russell.
They were signed personally for me when I was lucky enough to meet them backstage after Morrissey's Meltdown at the Royal Festival Hall, London 12th June 2004.
I wasn't expecting the meeting, and all I had to hand for them to sign was the Meltdown programme.
The page with Russell's signature is mounted on fancy paper as I intended to put both in a frame, then it was pointed out that they would fade. Instead the pages have been stored in a plastic wallet to protect them, and kept in a drawer. They are in excellent condition considering they are nearly 20 years old now.
The backstage photo of Ron & Russell was taken by a friend and sent to me later. It is a genuine photo, not a computer print-out.
A great pressie for the Sparks fan in your life!

1-100 on the DnD questions, for Deah >:3
Wow you're sure as hell fishing to kill me huh xD
I'll answer these under a read more cuz FUCK. I'll also try to keep it spoiler free -- I may mention stuff that hasn't come up in game but it would be stuff that might not ever come up explicitly anyway. Everything else has either been said or can be gleaned.
If your character wasn’t an adventurer, what livelihood would they lead Probably what she had been doing -- being a pirate
Who in the party would your character trust the most with their life Probably Maddie and/or Gael. Maddie is a divine soul sorcerer and probably the one Deah is closest to. Gael is our barbarian/paladin who is probably the emotional backbone of the group? He is very earnest and genuine, and also hits like a brick house.
What are your character’s core moral beliefs? [Brushes off notes I made like a year ago] Promises must be kept, and debts one day fulfilled. Clean up the messes you made. Family is more important than self. Survival means not letting the past define you. (Not all morals but those are her ideals)
What relationship does your character have with their parents and siblings? She has a twin brother, whom she would die for. Their relationship used to be solid, but theyve currently broken apart somewhat due to lies and building tension, and the brother needing to go his own way. She is still very broken up about it. Her parents are both dead, and she has not spoken of much closeness there, but describes them as "they tried their best." Her pirate captain was basically a surrogate father for her teenage years and onward until their separation, and she... misses him.
Does your character have any biases for or against certain races? Not really. She probably doesnt trust ratfolk based on where she grew up, but beyond that? If you're good, you're good.
What is your character’s opinion on nobility? On authority? (: fuck em. She is... shall we say... less inclined to help rich people.
Describe your character’s current appearance: clothes, armor, scars they’ve picked up along the journey, etc. She's grown out her undercut so she has an asymmetrical style, one side of her head buzzed. She is still wearing her bright red pirate coat, but now wears a dark brown vest with purple accents underneath, as well as a long black sleeve to cover magical scars she received when she accepted a warlock pact with the hunter god. Also covering her scars is a gauntlet made by Maddie, so that they can't be detected by Detect Good and Evil and such.
What location encountered in the campaign has your character felt the most “at home” in, or just generally liked the most? Sometimes she still thinks about that nap she had on the beach at a random island they had stopped at to restock on food.
What deity, if any, does your character worship? What’s their opinion on other people’s worship? As i mentioned, she has a pact with the hunter god, Erastil. She does not worship him. In fact, she rather doesnt like gods much. She doesnt really understand other worshippers, but if they're not hurting anyone with it she doesn't really care. Their worship doesnt affect her.
If your character had time to pick up any artisan’s tools, game set, instrument, etc., what would it be? Let's get this binch some navigator's tools finally!
Describe your character’s current relationship with the player character sitting to your right. We are entirely online so we don't really have table seating. Based on the order of our nicknames in discord though, that would be... Haru, our new kitsune Oracle who joined us to fill a gap while some other players went on hiatus. Deah is uncertain about him, and she is generally pretty wary about strangers in her party, but he is useful. Their relationship is not deep by any means tbh.
What is your character’s current goal, summed up in one sentence? Stop the lord of the sea, and stop Aleksander.
Does your character ever want to “settle down” with a spouse, children, house, etc.? ;) you'll have to ask her
Has your character ever been in love? Before the campaign, certainly not. She's hella ace, and doesn't open up easily, so she's got some confusing feelings right now for Maddie ;)
What battle in the campaign has been most memorable to your character The battle against Tokt, since this was the battle that she was able to help save a person from being possessed by a demon -- something she figured out beforehand and convinced her team about.
If your character wasn’t whatever class they are, what would they be instead? I mean... probably a fighter???? Or maybe a full warlock, if she was desperate enough.
What is your character’s favorite season? Probably the fall? Sailing is usually good during that time, plus the harvest is coming in on land, so there's a lot of fresh food.
What would your character’s Zodiac sign be, following stereotypical astrology? She would be an Aries based on her birthday! Our homebrew world just uses "Season Day" as time markers, with 90 days each season. She was born on Spring 12, which would translate to the first week of April.
Where in the world does your character most want to visit? She's been all over as an adventurer and a sailor. The place she'd like to visit the most is one she doesn't know about -- somewhere important to her old captain.
What is the biggest mistake your character has ever made? Deah would maybe even say joining the pirates. It was the happiest she'd ever been, but it led her brother to a path he regrets and feels pain over, and she feels a... bit guilty about that.
Does your character have any noticeable scars? If so, what are their stories? The only scars she has are from her pact to Erastil. She hides them, though. She's not ashamed of them, but she likes to keep them to herself... she's private like that.
What animal best represents your character? I always liken her to a hawk, especially a sea hawk. In some ways she’s like a cobra or a porcupine too -- kind of hard to get close to!
If your character could go back in time and change one thing about their life, what would it be? 😬
Which other player character does your character find themselves having the most in common with? I don't know about most in common, really, but she gets along easiest with Ro, our halfling. Their banter is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. Honestly though? She probably has the most in common with Mercy, our tiefling fighter/paladin.
Does your character regret any particular choice the party has made? She probably regrets the party not staying behind in a certain town after a powerful enemy escaped. They thought the immediate threat had been dealt with and that another team from their guild could keep watch over the town, but then that team got surprised by an undead and two of them died. She feels at least partially responsible for that.
What would your character say their best trait would be? Her ability to perceive and track things. She has the observant feat plus the invocation that lets her see through even magical darkness!
What is your character’s greatest fear? Deep, irrational? Being abandoned.
What is currently motivating your character to stay with the party? No where else to go, really. Like, sure, she likes at least most of them and they've been through a lot!!! And she DOES you know, feel like this is a stable job, and she does feel good helping people. But... she really does have no where else to go. :(
What are your character’s hobbies and interests outside of their class? She does enjoy reading, though she's a little slow. Her favorite books are detective/mystery novels! She also sometimes likes to practice magic tricks (like... sleight of hand stuff). And technically this isnt outside of her class, but she really does enjoy training. Let's her burn off steam.
What would most people think when they first see your character? Pretty little waif, but that resting bitch face looks like she will cut me of I even say hello (this is by design).
What stereotypical group role does your character play in the party? (The Mom, the Mess, the Comic Relief, etc. Optionally: What role would your character play in the “Five Man Band” structure?) [Googles five man band] probably Lancer. Initially she wanted to be the Leader type but with the group dynamics and her own insecurities and issues, that isnt really truly possible for her. But she still tries to lead...
What is your character the most insecure about? :)
What person does your character admire most? Her old ship captain. Her DEAD ship captain :(
What does your character admire and dislike the most about the player character sitting to your left? She admires maddie's strength and kindness (and to a degree, innocence). Maddie's cooking skills. Maddie's family. She dislikes how nervous/anxious and possibly depressed Maddie can get :c
Why is your character’s lowest stat their lowest (the in-character reason, not “because there’s no reason for a wizard to have 16 strength, duh”)? Her lowest stat is strength, and her second lowest is constitution. This is because she grew up poor, and was at times starving and definitely malnourished. Once she was om the pirate ship, she was regularly fed though.
What would be your character’s theme song/favorite band/favorite genre of music? I've been saying if she was in modern time, her favorite band would be Florence and the Machine. There's just something about the Florence sound that speaks to her. She'd definitely be into that kind of music, plus some heavier stuff leaning more towards metal or symphonic metal...
What stereotypical role would your character play in a high school AU/if they attended a normal high school? (Nerd, jock, bully, goth, etc.) She's got the soul of a goth but the hobbies of a jock (in our team's college AU she's totally on the fencing and sailing teams). When I've drawn her in modern day she is usually wearing athleisure (capris leggings, loose tank top, sports bra, e.g.) but also it's mostly dark colors. She's Joth.
What treasure/item/artifact that your character has collected during the adventure is the most important to them? Toby :) just kidding, the pseudodragon isn't an item!!! Specifically collected during the adventure, probably her force blade. Her brother had found it, but had given it to her, near the beginning of the adventure.
Is there any particular weapon, item, etc. that your character longs to find? She's not really looking out for items, no.
Where does your character feel the most at home? On the beach, on the ship. Specific locations to call home, she does finally feel like she has a stable place to call home in the patty's estate.
Does your character care about how they’re perceived by others? How do they change themselves to fit in with other people? She's worn disguises and fake names before, but that's mostly to protect herself during her pirate years. She doesn't care a whole lot, but she does want to appear somewhat intimidating so that unsavoury people won't approach her LMAO. But she also wants to be seen as nice by children and poor folk, so she does soften a bit when they're around.
What does your character think is the true meaning of life? Happiness. Safety. Survival. Family/community.
What is your character’s scent? (Bonus points for a description that sounds like it could be from a bad [or awesome] fanfic.) She's always got a slight scent of salt on her, reminding you just a bit of the sea. For herself, she prefers to just smell... clean, so there's a fresher floral scent lingering...
Does your character think more with their heart or their brain? She tries to think more with her brain but sometimes the bottled up emotions get to be a bit much.
What is your character’s most recent or frequent nightmare? BEING. ABANDONED.
What opinion does your character have on [CERTAIN ESTABLISHED GROUPS/AUTHORITIES IN THE GAME WORLD]? (Dragonmarked Houses, royal crown, etc.) She hates (most) rich people and used to be a pirate, so you can kind of figure it out.
How did your character spend their childhood? Where did they grow up/who were their childhood friends? :(
What aspect of your character’s future are they most curious about? (If they could know one thing about the future, what would it be?) I dunno man she is just taking things one step at a time.
What colors are associated with your character? Red is her primary color. She also uses blacks/dark grays and a light purple as an accent. She's using more brown now tho to represent her connection to the hunter god.
Who in the party would your character prioritize rescuing, in dire circumstances? Maddie always. Then Ro. Then Gael. Haru would probably be up there because he is squishy and also mostly blind.
Is your character the most swayed by ethos, pathos, or logos? A mix of pathos and logos is most effective on Deah. Logos probably most of all, but there are pathos buttons that hold away above all that... if you know which buttons to press.
If your character was granted a single use of Wish, what would they use it for? Currently? To bring back her pirate captain. She knows its selfish but...
What is your character’s favorite spell? If they don’t use spells: what is their favorite personal weapon/combat maneuver/skill/etc.? Her favorite spell is stab with rapier.
How does your character feel about keeping secrets from the rest of the party? She keeps secrets pretty regularly! Basically if the party needs to know, then the secret should be shared. But if it doesnt really affect the group or something important, and the person doesnt want to share, then go ahead and keep the secret.
What type of creature in the world is your character the most intrigued by? Dragons probably, at this point. Definitely an influence by me the player, haha, but it's buoyed by an early meeting with a particular dragon that sparked her interest.
When they were a child, what did your character want to be, or think they were going to be, when they grew up?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ she didnt have life plans as a kid. She just wanted her and her brother to live.
The player character to your left admits that they’re passionately in love with your character. How would your character respond? That's already happened LMAO. Deah didnt know how to react so her brain blur screened and she ran away from the situation for a bit.
If somebody (an NPC, someone from their backstory, etc.) your character trusts/loves asked your character to do something against the party’s best interest, who would they side with? If it only involved herself, Deah would probably go do it. But if it was a huge net loss for the group, she wouldn't, if that makes sense? It's hard to make sweeping statements like that.
Does your character value their own best interest more than the party’s? She values her own interest for sure, but she would prioritize the party's if one meant dunking on the other. She knows what it's like to sail with a tight knit crew; sometimes you sacrifice to make the group as a whole better/happier.
What decision would the party have to make in order for your character to consider splitting off from the group? Oh gosh, uh.... I mean, if they decide to help her enemies (not likely to happen, there are a couple shared ones). If they don't let her do something she REALLY wants... I can't really think of anything specific.
How does your character imagine the way they will die? Tragically. 
What is your character’s greatest achievement? Taming her pseudodragon ;w;
Is your character willing to risk the well-being of others in order to achieve their goal? Hmm... not to a certain degree. Eh, probably not. She only really wants to risk herself, not others. Risking others doesn't give them the choice.
What is your character’s opinion on killing others? She does it all the time!! But if they're defenseless or not fighting back, she won't.
What is your character’s favorite food? Beverage? She really loves fresh baked bread!! As for beverage, uh.... I guess she'd like water with like, something fruity mixed in???
How generous is your character? Especially to those they don’t know? To the poor and to kids? Very. Also, recently, she gave all of the money she got from a quest to a townsperson to help them rebuild their city a bit (secretly of course. Not even her team knows she did that, though maybe some of them suspect hahaha)
What is your character the most envious about, regarding anyone in the party? Once again... probably most envious of Maddie!! She comes up a lot doesn't she ;P
The player character to your left and the player character to your right are both telling your character two different versions of the truth. Who does your character believe? Maddie vs Haru? Shed probably lean towards Maddie :p
What is your character’s sexuality/relationship with sex? I've described Deah as Panromantic Asexual. She is rather sex averse and has difficulty pinpointing romantic feelings as well, being rather prickly at times.
What is your character’s biggest pet peeve? When people try to dig into something she doesn't want to share at the moment.
Describe how your character feels about the party’s current situation/objective/etc. The current objective/situation involves her backstory, so you'll see soon ;)
Who in the party would your character trust the most to keep an important secret? Maddie of course! She trusts Gael, but not with secrets. Similarly, she trusts Mercy to hold an oath to the best of her ability, but not if a secret comes up -- same with Rudi. Ro does what she wants LMAO and she isnt telling Haru anything personal atm.
If your character knew that they were going to die in a month, how would they spend the rest of their life? I dont want to think about that question and neither does Deah
What makes your character feel safe? Having her weapons. Having her pact/her pact scars.
If your character had the chance to rename the party/give the party a name, no questions asked, what would it be? Nah, she likes Fortune's Blades
What memory does your character want to forget the most? Cal leaving. It's probably her most painful memory.
If your character had to multiclass into a class they currently aren’t the next time they level up, what would it be and what reason would they have for doing so? She's already multi classed and her reasons for becoming a warlock are kind of muddied. She explained them initially but maaaaybe wasn't 100% truthful. If she had to pick a third, probably uh.... fighter?????
What television/book/video game/etc. character would your character be best friends with? (Or: what media character is your character the most influenced by/similar to?) I would HOPE she would be friends with Elizabeth Swan (: but idk lol
What unusual talents does your character possess? Sharp senses and magic tricks.
How does your character feel about receiving/giving orders? Are they more of a leader, or a follower? It's rather situational. She tries to be a leader type, but she also realizes she's not at the top of the leader chain (and, with her party, at times different people take the head, so it's almost more consult-y like).
What does your character’s name represent to them? (Or: why as a player did you choose your character’s name?) The player of Cal, her brother, chose his name first from a generator. I like to construct my names sometimes from different name elements, so I made hers to match the sound of her twin's (that is, make it sound like it came from the same language). Her name is constructed of "Feld-" (field) and "-Deah" (dye) so her first name translates roughly to "field of dye." Her original last name is Shearwater, which is a real life sea bird but also follows the traditional elven naming convention (their dad was an elf). She never felt much of an attachment to her last name. She recently changed her last name to Blackheart, which was the moniker of her captain.
Is your character more of an introvert, or an extrovert? Introvert for sure
How far is your character willing to go to pursue the “greater good”? Do they believe in a greater good at all? She would go as far as she needs to, but would never force others to make that same decision.
What does your character want to be remembered by? At one point she thought she would eventually be a famous pirate captain. But mostly I think she just wants to be remembered by those who love her and by those she helped...
What would be your character’s major in college? Fuck, uh... I had discussed this before.... I think I made her pre-law??? Math major???
Does your character consider themselves a hero, villain, or something else? Something else. She doesn't really care about that, she's just Being.
What major arcana tarot card best represents your character? I believe last it was discussed I had picked the Chariot for her.
Where does your character see themselves in 20 years? If not dead from adventuring, then settled somewhere nice, hopefully...
What is your character’s relationship with magic? Are they scared of it, wish to know more about it, indifferent to it? For a long time she was the Sokka of the group, the only non-magic user. Then she got her pact. She's still kind of awkward about it, and at times really doesn't like magic, but she sees it as a tool. A means to an end.
Who is your character’s biggest rival? Rival?????? I guess Morrigan tbh??? Cuz a rival isn't an enemy, and she had a thing going with Morrigan (her player is on hiatus tho). In some ways she rivals Mercy too. A dance of similarities and differences.
What is your character’s guiltiest pleasure? Fine, beautiful dresses. She doesn't own any, because it's a waste of money, but.... she wants them. Secretly.
What does your character hope for the afterlife? Peace and rest.
Who in the party does your character trust the least? Haru, currently, simply by virtue of being new.
What is your character’s biggest flaw? BIGGEST flaw???? Uhhhmmm..... Her secrecy probably. Her tendency to run away from really big, painful problems, to bottle up her emotions around that until everything just gets worse.
How did your character learn the languages that they speak? Common, prucrician and Elvish she learned just growing up. Deep, she just... mysteriously knows. Doesn't know why she can speak it. Draconic she learned at first from Rudi, and then from a dragonborn NPC to finish her lessons during a timeskip.
What is your character’s favorite school of magic/type of weaponry? Rapier
What is most important to your character: health, wealth, or happiness? Why must she choose? Wealth, because that brings health and happiness in her eyes. (Because money buys food and when you have food.....)
What advice would your character give to a younger version of themselves? I know it's hard, but open up more. You don't have to keep it to yourself to protect others. Your brother can be your friend as well... you don't have to just keep holding yourself back for your friends and family.
Are there any social or political issues your character feels strongly about? She doesn't feel super strongly about politics, having been a pirate. She feels strongly about protecting children and poor though, as I've mentioned.
What, currently, is your character the most curious about? The afterlife. Erastil, but specifically just that one god. Her ship captain.

Favourite ships for your character: going in this with a clean slate so try and give me a favorite ship? ’,:)
in character info
Full name: Lola Diane Thomas
Birthday: May 20th.
Sexuality, gender, pronouns: pansexual, female, she/her
Age and grade: 16 (almost 17) && senior.
Faceclaim: Taylor Hill
Appearance:
Head: Lola is what you call a tall glass of water. She’s refreshingly attractive. Her eyes are neither blue or green but a weird combination of the two colors, making them pop against her naturally darkened complexion. Her hair is soft and wavy and like to tangle near the ends by the time Lola is out of school and on the way to work. It’s color likes to change with the rare sunlight, meaning if she is outside in the sun all day every day natural highlights will appear in her honey chestnut tresses. Her nose is like a little button that deserves to be booped constantly. Her lips are full and plump- to that she owes genetics. Lola believes it is her only good trait.
Body: A natural looker. She stands at about 5'8, so be prepared if you’re tiny. She will tower you with her legs for DAYS.  She doesn’t have particularly large assets but they are there. And it’s a nice handful on either side of the equator. You just gotta look for them behind her non-stop barrage of sweaters. She likes to say she has a white girl booty- its cute && snooty. Her shoulders and cheeks are very, very, lightly dusted in freckles you can only see in the winter. Despiter her tall figure, Lola is NOT a bean pole, she’s slim thicccc weighing about 145 pounds and it’s not in her face.
Style: Lola dresses like she lives in Goodwill, trendy and thrifty. She would kill for knee socks and button up blouses. She aims to look like ‘The classic look of a teenager in the 90’s’. Her shoes will never don a heel for she believes she is 'too tall’ for them. She likes to keep a mellow color scheme for all her clothing items. Tan, green, white. Sometimes she looks like the first instagram post you see tagged * v i n t a g e. *
Personality: 
First off let’s get this straight, with Lola it’s not a personality but more of how she adopts a personality to fit each social clique she is suckered into that day. If you dig deeep deeeeeep down pass the meme references and pop culture shout outs- she’s awfully shy and hates making the first move in ANY kind of situation. She is sympathetic to most of the problems she hears- other than relationship ones. What’s a feeling for someone else other than your cat? She doesn’t get it. Skittish doesn’t even cover how much of a fraidy cat she is.. One little boo when she’s not expecting it is enough to get Lola to shriek and jump three feet into the air. She does have a nuturing instinct, finding it rather difficult to see anyone lonely or upset.
Once you get to know Lola, she is a sweetheart with a soul of gold. She would freeze in the frigid temperatures to keep her friend warm. She’s the girl who will sneak you into her house so you dont have to go home if you’re scared too or can’t. She is quite snarky however- as if a dam broke and every witty thought ever spun in her head rushes out. Once you get her talking about something she is personally interested in, good luck shutting her up. Lola is also a very superstitious person. Never one too step on a crack or split a pole. Her biggest quirk would have to be her need for reassurance that her jokes are funny. She thinks of herself as a comedian but is already sure everyone thinks she is trying too hard. She is a rather dull girl on the outside, moody and solemn. But if you can crack into her cold shell there’s an ooey gooey sweetness inside. Lola is often easily upset- movies to road kill make her tear up. Anytime she even gets mad the salry reminders if her lameness well up in her eyes. And that only pisses her off more.
Despite having a cool exterior she can and will snap- just push the right buttons. 
History:
Lola wouldnt deem herself an outcast yet she would always feel that way. Whether she was cheering with the girls or writing lists with Jenny, her feelings were uncontrollable. Her anxiety makes it impossible to determine if someone is being nice to her or if they have a plot to harm her. In middle school, Lola secretly dreamt of becoming a goth kid- going as far as painting her nails black for two years. But her fears never made her set out to do it. Plus everyone was a little then so isn’t that technically confirming? Her school work was the only thing Lola was ever certain in. Work was easy, you couldn’t fuck it up by being a complete oddball. It was practically memorization. After starting high school, Lola was practically a wallflower. Hell she was the wall and the flower all wrapped in one. She dropped every friendship and dedicated herself to her studies and her pets. After she got a job she was allowed to have them finally and her fur babies were the only things she cared about truly and deeply. For they could never hate their mother.
Things were always tough for Lola, socially or economically, but that didn’t mean her childhood sucked. It just meant instead of a Barbie dreamhouse for Christmas she got the summer edition Barbie. Not a house. Just the doll. Jealousy is an emotion often clouding her anxieties and judgement on people. It caused her to lose her best friend since.. Well, as long as she could remember. Lola grew jealous and almost possessive over Jenny. She probably didn’t mean too but when she saw Jenny getting along with people when she couldnt caused a burning rage to settle in her chest. It got so bad Lola didnt even speak to anyone for a week before blowing up and ruining her only real friendship.
Just because she looks innocent doesn’t mean the brunette is. There are probably a few flat tires and keyed cars residing in South Park that are Lola’s own doing. Not to mention she is a total bystander. You wanna skip school? Cool, yeah I’ll watch for a teacher. You wanna smoke pot in the bathroom? It’s all good as long as she gets a hit. These are all childish 'bad behaviors’ but as Lola sees it, there’s no point in trying that hard to be bad. After all the one time she tried it, the poor thing almost died from hypothermia after blindly listening to a slumber party dare.
You aren’t supposed to sneak out in slumber parties. Or streak in Wal-Mart. Or jump of a bridge into negative temp waters. But these are all things Lola did too prove she was cool. And it ended up with her grounded, being hospitalised for pneumonia, and gaining a large fear of heights. And a hatred for party games.
Sample paragraph:
Of course, it was another cold blustery day. Chestnut tresses fluttered in front of her sight along the whole way home, it didn’t matter how many times she forcefully blew the bangs out of her face- they always flopped back down. Numbing fingers clutched tighter to the soft cloth lining of her jacket pockets. The index fingers and thumbs of both hands pinching at the materiel. Gosh- why is it always freezing? Dull orbs flittered around the blank scenery of the all too familiar path from her house to the school. The only sounds Lola could hear were the crunching of her flats against the snow and the wind whipping furiously around her. Boring. It was all white and boring. Lola was tired of being bored. She imagined that would be the only feeling she could muster for the rest of her life and it made the corners of her glossed lips tug down.
She shook her head as if to clear the thoughts instantly, humming a tune to distract herself as she continued on her trek.
One step, two step, three step…
…Sixteenth step-
Lola really needed a friend. A small sigh lifted her chest and as it billowed past her mouth she noticed movement in her peripherals. Was she really looking down this whole time like an idiot? How embarrassing! She clenched her hands into fists, further rumpling the jacket from its own pockets. Avoiding any kind of eye contact she swayed over to the side near the street and hurried her steps along. Too fast to count now. She passed the figure and her hands slowly unfurled. The blood rushing to her digits made them quite warm and her face flushed as well. God she was awkard.
Just as she thought she was in the clear, Lola felt a tap on her shoulder and her heart stuttered in its cavity as she stumbled to a stop. Fuck.

Celine Envelope Bag
When these VIP ladies take discover, so can we, and whereas this isn’t the first Celine by Hedi Slimane bag we’ve lusted after, it additionally doubtless won’t be the last. Similar to the Cabas Tote bag, the All Soft has a easy silhouette and isn't a structured bag, setting it apart from the Luggage and Trapeze tote and making it easy to hold and fill together with your on an everyday basis gadgets.

Why KeepCup can’t save the world
It just doesn’t stack up. United Baristas fact checks KeepCup’s claims about their Thermal cup.
Listen to this article and subscribe to get future audio articles
Reusable cup company KeepCup made the claim last week on Instagram that their Thermal cup model has a lower environmental impact than paper cups after eight uses. The post raised eyebrows and disapproval in private messages amongst people who know about such things.
In this article we are going to shine a light on the life cycle assessment so you can judge claims like this for yourself and determine whether a KeepCup is right for you and your customers.
View this post on Instagram
Hot off the press! The Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for our KeepCup Thermal range is here. Reuse is our most powerful opportunity to make positive change – and that's why we're constantly striving to innovate and lowering our impact. The LCA is specially commissioned to independently assess the environmental footprint of our products against single and multi-use alternatives. You can find the full report at the "Impact" link in our bio.
A post shared by KeepCup (@keepcup) on Sep 15, 2020 at 2:15am PDT
Before we begin the analysis, it’s a shame to be talking about cups again. The discussion over take out cups has already taken too much of the coffee industry’s time and resources – and with very little benefit. As will become apparent, the difference between the best and worst scenarios is so small compared to the scale of the challenge before us that it is impossible to prevent climate change through cup selection. There are also much easier ways to make larger differences. So it is United Baristas’ position that the coffee industry should focus its efforts and limited resources on areas where big gains can be made with the least effort.
Also United Baristas believes that we should be committed to building the industry and each other up. We have deliberately chosen not to single out specific reusable cup companies while working to shift the industry’s focus onto more meaningful matters. But KeepCup’s post changes that position. Ideally, we would like to never have to talk about reusable versus take out cups again. As an industry we should be working towards big, realistic and ambitious goals, like an 80 to 90% reduction in coffee’s carbon footprint by 2040. To do this we need to make significant progress now and every year onwards. We don’t want the noise around KeepCup’s claim to slow the industry from making progress. We must keep moving forwards.
Carbon footpints
Calculating the carbon footprint of a product is becoming increasingly easy as there are now standards, methodologies and databases one can use. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the internationally agreed approach and this includes the carbon generated from cradle to grave including the materials, manufacturer, distribution, use and disposal of an item. It’s an incredibly useful tool, mainly because it allows the comparison of options.
A takeout cup and lid is about five percent of a coffee’s carbon footprint
When a coffee drinker uses a paper takeout cup, the calculations are simple because all the embodied carbon is attributed to a single use. There have been a number of studies on paper cups and there is some range in the assessments because of variations in national electricity generation and different cup designs. So for this example we’re going to pick a number at the slightly heavier end of the consensus, which we have used before of 11 g of embodied carbon dioxide for a cup and lid. This 11 grams is written as 11 g CO₂e – that is, carbon dioxide equivalent. The model takes all the climate change-causing gases and converts them to a single number so we can more readily compare. It’s common practice to casually shorten CO₂e to ‘carbon dioxide’ or even ‘carbon’, but of course these are technically different things.
Calculating carbon for things we use multiple times
For items that are used a number of times across their life, the carbon footprint is a little more complicated because we have to calculate both the embodied energy required to make the item in the first place (just like with the paper cup) plus the additional carbon footprint each time we use it. We’ve covered this before explaining the carbon footprint of a cup of coffee, which includes single-use coffee and multi-use coffee equipment, plus other things such as shipping.
LCAs have found the key cause of emissions from multi-use cups is their washing, as there is carbon dioxide generated from the water treatment, electricity to heat the water and the detergent. Generally it’s most carbon efficient to clean cutlery and crockery in a fully-loaded dishwasher.
Obviously, the exact carbon emissions per use will vary with a number of factors such as the dishwasher model (or if a coffee drinker should hand wash which typically has a higher footprint) and a country’s types of electricity generation (the UK has about half the carbon per kWh of US electricity for example). In this instance we are going to use a range KeepCup supplied in response to our questions of 8 – 10 g CO₂e per wash. To make things easier, we’ll average it to 9 g as this is similar to other LCAs.
Which is better for the environment – The KeepCup Thermal or a paper cup?
The answer is, of course, it depends. But we can do better than that because we have the LCA information to calculate the breakeven.
First we take the total carbon footprint of the product. We are still waiting on KeepCup to provide this information (it really should be in the LCA document), but they told us in response to our questions that the embodied carbon in the Thermal cup is 1600 grams. There is some additional carbon emission for things like the packaging and shipping, which we are going to ignore for now – you’ll see why below.
At the beginning of our calculations, the KeepCup Thermal has a footprint of approximately 1600 grams and the paper cup has zero. With each takeout coffee we drink, the KeepCup’s footprint goes up 9 g for washing and the paper cup increases our footprint by 11 grams.
We can represent this in a graph showing the cumulative carbon footprint for the two cups over 1000 coffees.
The total carbon footprint of a KeepCup Thermal compared to paper cups over 1000 coffees.
For this scenario, the breakeven point is around 800 coffees. We can work it out as we know that washing a cup (including reusable cups) emits about 2 g of carbon less than the embodied energy in a paper take out cup. So the incremental benefit is 2 grams per use. So the number of uses for the breakeven is:
11 g (carbon in the paper cup and lid) – 9 g (from the energy required to wash a cup) = 2 g carbon benefit per use for using a reusable cup
This difference is less than one percent of a latte’s carbon footprint, which is why it’s seldom worth talking about. But in this case it is useful because we can divide the increment benefit into the total carbon footprint of a reusable cup. For the Keep Cup Thermal in this example:
1600 g (embodied carbon in a KeepCup Thermal ) / 2 g (incremental benefit) = 800 uses
So, if you are going to use this cup over 800 times, this cup will lower your footprint. If you were to use it less than that (or use it instead of the coffee shop porcelain crockery) your total footprint would increase .
LCAs and breakevens are great because they provide individuals and companies with the information they need to decide which option is best for them. Obviously, the perfect cup for me isn’t necessarily the perfect cup for you. So while there are some people who’ll use a reusable cup over 800 times (by the way, that’s every weekday for over three years), many and maybe even most people wouldn’t.
Why does KeepCup claim eight uses?
This is a really good question, and one that has taken some probing to get an answer – and I’m still not sure that we are there (check out the Instagram comments).
The methodology and requirements of an LCA include all the emissions, from cradle to grave. If you remember, in the embodied carbon figure above KeepCup missed out the packaging, shipping and energy required to dispose of the item at the end of its life. In this Instagram post, KeepCup are actually stating that the packaging, shipping and disposal is equal to eight paper cups alone. So, once a coffee drinker has used the Thermal Cup eight times instead of a paper cup, on the ninth use the coffee drinker starts to get the incremental two grams of CO₂e benefit between washing and a paper cup.
The total carbon footprint of the KeepCup Thermal, minus its embodied carbon, equates to eight takeout cups says KeepCup
Confused? If you are, you have every reason to be. The KeepCup post is an odd way to communicate an environmental breakeven. And if you accept their logic, it would be more true to say that there is an incremental benefit from the very first use. Furthermore the language in the post is vague so it can easily be misunderstood to mean that the Thermal cup has a total carbon footprint of eight paper cups – which would be grossly wrong. If we use the above inputs and information from KeepCup the total uses to breakeven is 808.
8 uses for packaging, distribution and end of life + 800 uses for the embodied carbon = 808 uses 
The great thing about these last days of back and forth with KeepCup is that it’s become apparent to us that the coffee industry is now smarter and too well educated about carbon footprints to accept poor communication and odd claims like this at face value. It was in fact someone in the coffee industry that brought this post to our attention because they immediately understood it to be wrong. But we need to spread the breakeven message across our communities and to our customers, so that they too can start to make better decisions that lower their carbon footprint.
The breakeven is more like 808 uses.
We’ve been calling on KeepCup to retract the claim or make another post with clearer, more accurate information. Let’s hope that they do it quickly. It would be a real shame for consumers to buy this cup and to see their carbon footprint go up.
By the way, potential customers may very well be better to spend their money on a UK tree planting initiative. A KeepCup Thermal costs £24 – £26 in the UK. For £25.80, through this project you can take about 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the embodied carbon in 1250 KeepCup Thermals, or the carbon saved if you were to use this cup 1 million times – that would be an extraordinary coffee drinker consuming 35 cups of coffee every day for 80 years!
So where does the coffee industry want to go from here?
As the world incrementally lifts from lockdown, let’s get back to the things that really make a difference in tackling climate change. Let’s cut our carbon footprint by choosing milks more carefully, reducing energy consumption of espresso machines and building more energy-efficient coffee shops.
This is a great challenge before us, it’s going to take efforts from all of us as well as our smartest and best work yet. But United Baristas wants this to happen as soon as possible and we believe the industry is up to the task. Join with us and let’s reduce coffee’s carbon footprint.

Firstly we would like to say a huge thank you to Alham from ToppBox for sending BoXession this box to review, And for the exclusive discount code BX20 Giving you 20% off your first box! TOPPBOX send you 4-5 premium tailored treats a month to keep you/ your man looking and feeling your best at all times! They are well know in the industry being featured in the likes of The Independent and Gentlemen’s journal. Quite rightly so too as the level of customer care is outstanding and the box value is always amazing.
This is our 3rd month of reviewing TOPPBOX and it still has not disappointed once! There is not a single product received that hasn’t been loved and used, That just goes to show how well they tailor the box. When you first sign up they ask you your preferences and get this (ladies you will know what I mean) they actually listen!
It came via Royal Mail in a brown padded envelope with blue tissue paper giving the box extra padding.
If you missed it you can check out my live unboxing here…
Anyway enough chit chat into the box
Inside was the TOPPBOX signature box upon opening that we were met with the product card and:
Flint + Flint lip hero 15ml RRP £15
Even men’s lips need TLC especially after the winter months, and this is as good as they come formulated with Maxi-Lip: A natural peptide that Delivers restructuring and moisturising properties, redensifying the connective tissue. Voluli: improves the internal and superficial lip texture with a visible impact on lip shape, increased volume, with an anti-aging benefits! Baobab Oil: Strongly moisturising, the oil contains almost equal measures of palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids, as well as vitamins A, D and E. This left pauls lips amazingly soft and has become a part of his daily routine. Added bonus he now no longer steals mine, but I’m tempted to pinch his haha.
Good Day organics Rough and Tough hand balm 90 RRP £9.99
This is hands down (pun intended) Paul’s favorite product in the box. It’s much needed in his day to day life and in the few days he has been using it it has made a dramatic difference! This will definitely be a repurchased item.
PURE Skincare London Black Face Mask with free application brush 50ml RRP £7.99
I think I liked this more than him haha. It was actually really gentle to remove much to my disappointment. It really cleared his skin up though and left it silly smooth with no tears in sight.
ToppBox X Rockbottom Socks RRP £6.95
How funky are these! They went down a storm at a party we went to! Paul just could not help showing them off, he loves the funky design and is impressed with the feel and comfort they offer.
Skin & Tonic Calm Clean RRP £11 and 100% Organic cotton Cloth RRP £3.90
Paul tried this for the first time tonight he’s never used a hot cloth cleansing balm before but he loved the luxury feel to it. It felt more like a treat to cleanse rather than an essential part of his routine, and left him feeling relaxed.Then followed it up with the black mask his skin has never felt so good!
7 products with A whopping Total RRP of £54.83!! Giving you a saving off £35.63!! when you use code BX20.
I LOVE that this months was geared to be more organic and vegan friendly. We are not vegans but I do worry about all the chemicals we put on ourselves, so it’s great to find more organic alternatives to daily products.
We are both huge fans of TOPPBOX! Every month it’s outstanding value for money and everything gets used thank to the tailoring. The company has outstanding customer service and it makes gifting easy for me now; I literally never knew what to get the men, now I get them a TOPPBOX. Plus it means the man shape moans less about all the goodies I order hahaha, can’t get better than that!

Coal Eye Serum Review (UPDATED 2017): Don’t Buy Before You Read This!
Coal Eye Serum is a daily eye treatment that reduces puffiness and dark circles, making skin look younger and smoother with use. The makers of this eye cream claim this product works to offset the visible signs of stress, aging and fatigue.
Coal Eye Serum claims to repair skin at a cellular level, plumping the delicate under eye skin, while improving the skin’s natural defenses against oxidative damage. According to the website, this product also works to improve water retention and hydration.
According to our team of reviewers, Kremovage is the top performing eye cream they’ve encountered—and that’s saying a lot. This product was made to support collagen synthesis, as well as to protect to skin from environmental damage both past and present.
With ingredients like Matrixyl 3000, ocean-based retinol and a long list of botanical powerhouses, users can expect dramatic results in no time. Click here to learn how you can get started with Kremovage today.
Do You Know the Best Eye Creams of 2017 ?
Coal Eye Serum Ingredients and Side Effects
The makers of Coal Eye Serum have failed to provide many critical details that help user evaluate the product and make an informed buying decision. Below, we’ve listed some of the key information about hyaluronic and ascorbic acids—the only ingredients mentioned on the official webpage.
Hyaluronic Acid Ascorbic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found the eyes, joints, and anywhere else that benefits from constant lubrication.
Tis ingredient is used to improve collagen synthesis and helps the skin retain moisture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by hydrating and plumping the skin.
Ascorbic Acid: A form of vitamin C made in a lab, this ingredient is used for its antioxidant properties, which work to protect the skin against damage from pollution UV rays and other environmental factors.  Additionally, ascorbic acid may help stimulate new cell growth, repairing damage like fine lines, age spots and more.
Click here to learn more about how to best care for delicate, dry and irritable skin — experts weigh in with tips and tricks.
Coal Eye Serum Quality of Ingredients
Coal Eye Serum is made by a company that fails to provide users with the details you’d expect to find on any e-commerce platform.
While the web copy highlights a couple of the active ingredients reportedly in this blend, we never get to see if there’s an official product label associated with it.
While hyaluronic acid and ascorbic acid are really great tools for fighting many of the visible signs of aging, they likely aren’t the only components that make up Coal Eye Serum—a realization that immediately sets off alarm bells in our minds.
We’re not sure if this product contains skin irritants, parabens or if they test on animals. We also don’t know if this product contains almost exclusively filler items or quality ingredients or ingredients like parabens and silicones that some people may want to avoid–it’s truly all a big mystery.
With that said, it should be obvious why we simply cannot recommend this product to users looking for a reliable eye cream with great results.
Click here to check out our favorite eye serum reviews of this year—so far.
EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this product with a proven eye cream such as Kremovage for better results.
The Price and Quality of Coal Eye Serum
Coal Eye Serum is sold on Amazon for $26.99 per unit, plus a confusing $0.03 for shipping and handling charges. While the Amazon listing doesn’t look too suspicious, the official website is linked to a free trial scheme.
Users reported unauthorized charges from this company after paying the shipping charges on a free trial item. The subsequent charges amounted to $89 per month.
Now, if this product contains only two active ingredients, as per the official website—there’s no way anyone could justify paying nearly $90 on this eye serum.
Based on the information we’ve gathered, it’s clear that the makers of Coal Eye Serum are engaging in some shady business practices.
Users reported finding this product through some popular Facebook videos linking to the trial sign up form.
We can’t stress this enough—any company that fails to provide concrete pricing on products is likely taking advantage of consumers. Users should avoid this product at all costs—there are more affordable products that come with potent formulas and are up front about the contents of the formulation.
Click this link to learn more about the contents of your favorite eye creams.
Business of Coal Eye Serum
Coal Eye Serum is made by a company known as Coal Cosmetics. Unfortunately, this company has failed to share a number of critical business details—phone number, address, and so on.
While the entry on Amazon would lead most people to believe this company is at least minimally reputable, the official website quickly reveals that users are likely being taken advantage of in another one of those free trial marketing scams.
RipOff Report has listed several accounts from users who felt they had been taken advantage of. Here are a few of the comments we found:
“Nowhere in the fine print was there any confirmation I’d agreed to a monthly fee of $179.38 for the serum and the moisturizer.”
“This company is scamming people and needs to be shut down. Not only are terms unclear, it’s incredibly difficult to cancel an order.”
“Can’t say enough about how terrible this company is. The cream doesn’t work and the customer service reps are completely useless. I had to cancel my credit card to get out of this “agreement.” What a joke.”
Coal Eye Serum has several comments posted on Amazon, RipOff Report and elsewhere.
Coal Eye Serum is a good example of what to steer clear from in an e-commerce situation. This company does not present clear pricing or reveal any information about who runs this business.
Customer Opinions of Coal Eye Serum
Coal Eye Serum had several reviews in regards to their unethical business practices, but we did see some comments solely about the products—here’s a quick look at some of the comments we came across.
“I couldn’t see much difference until a couple weeks in. You don’t get very much product in this container, and it’s good to be aware beforehand. Overall, I liked this product, it reduced circles and bags.”
“This product somehow keeps getting mailed to me. I don’t like it, don’t need it and don’t know what the deal is.”
“My skin is really dry and wrinkles show up more clearly as a result. I like this product for its ability to rehydrate my skin, and for the glow it brings to my face. As an added bonus, it doesn’t cause any side effects.”
“Totally worthless product. I’m glad I ordered on Amazon and didn’t fall for the free trial scam like so many others. Still, I was disappointed with the results.”
Results were surprisingly mixed for one of these products. We’ve seen countless similar items that follow an unethical marketing and sales strategy. Most people don’t comment on the quality of the product, so it’s interesting to see that maybe something about this product is real.
That said, this company still is committing fraud, and the reviews weren’t overwhelmingly positive or anything. Between the RipOff Report comments, the lack of evidence this product is truly effective and the poor customer service practices, we’d advise buying another product altogether.
Click here for an up-close look at the best eye creams you can buy, as well as the ones to avoid.
Conclusion – Does Coal Eye Serum Work?
Coal Eye Serum is interesting. It’s clearly part of the free trial scam ring, but the product has a solid presence on Amazon, with some people reporting decent results with use.
Still, any company that sucks people into the free trial marketing scheme should be avoided at all costs. They do not make the fine print clear on the official website, and users keep receiving product they didn’t actually order.
The official website fails to give users any concrete details on how this item works, what the ingredients are and how much the product is supposed to cost.
The web copy echoes the same language you’ll find with similar products—it lifts and firms, boosts immune health (confusing, we know) and shaves years off of your appearance.
We suggest looking for something better than Coal Eye Serum no matter what your skin care needs entail. This product is made and distributed by a company that focuses more on how to exploit consumers than on making quality products that speak for themselves.
Our experts most often recommend Kremovage to consumers looking for an easy way to look a little younger and more refreshed. This product was made to lift the skin around the eye and smooth out unsightly crow’s feet and fine lines.
Kremovage was made in a certified lab, using tested botanicals and potent anti-aging agents guaranteed to give users a younger look, without any negative side effects. Click the link for a deeper look at Kremovage and its many benefits.

Murray Backstory
so murray and bianca lived in same neighborhood cute fat kids in their class only fat kids sometimes they'd get teased early on like they gunna get married and they'd laugh it off like yeah w/e bianca has a pretty backyard with her own tiny garden she invites him over to help her out lifting bags of dirt cuz she lives with her aunty and she's brittle/can’t lift much over the years, murray starts to grow a crush on her bianca is always super sweet and never malicious, she is very caring person she even had a choice to live with her rich uncle or frail aunt and picked her cuz she thought she needed the most help so one day, some bullies sneak into bianca's backyard and smash up bianca's garden and that was just tip of iceberg bianca's aunt has a nasty fall and breaks her leg they end up having to move with her uncle cuz they can't provide for her in their tiny town but she never told murray cuz she didn't want him to worry about it he knows about the garden, not the moving part so he saves up all his money and in one night, replant a good chunk of what she had planted before it just so happened to be on the night before bianca left but then murray goes to school next week wanting to hear about her new garden but her friends all oh i guess she didn’t tell u but she moved away doesn’t believe them runs to her house to find it for the most part empty, she never had a whole lot in the house, all that mattered was that garden there's a note on the gate to the garden left for him thanking him and asking him to forgive her for not saying anything about the move he ends up keeping this note throughout his life but that kicks starts his spiral of depression he gets mad first and bitter for not saying anything to him questioning if they were ever really friends but he's just a teen, he's a very sensitive boy and bianca knew that no matter how much he tried to hide it by acting quiet and cool mad at himself for never telling her how he felt though it seemed obvious to everyone else, including Bianca as he grows up, he passes by her house every day to school has to start taking the longer route to avoid it checks on the garden he planted it's withering, close to dying he goes on to school by the time he's in hs, he's gone total cool quiet commando wrestle team captain but still really smart ends up being a part of poetry club as well which gets the babes babes start asking him out he sees quite a few of them after school and they tell their friends somewhere during that time, he bumps into tippo and serenity they like hey we heard you're a decent writer, we need a songwriter for our band, u interested Murray like yeah maybe Serenity’s shitty hs band only consists of her, Tippo and Murray Murray as bass player Im sure Anit is invited to be in the band as well but they're maybe unsure of their potential Anit goes to college later on, Murray takes over drums for the songs that need it most the songs don't require them as much Murray also in charge of odd instruments kazoo, triangle, tamborine, digiridoo, rainstick Murray finishes hs but doesn't go off to college gets lots of girls for his looks and mute demeanor plenty of them prolly groupies of shitty hs band that's the name of the band "shitty high school band" has a gang motif they usually only play one gig a month 2 if they really wanna but for Murray it's a decent distraction then one of their so-called fans, a Roselia, says she's been a fan since their beginning but Murray never takes the compliments to heart he doesn’t recognize her but they fuck and later she finds him like we gotta talk, I am pregnant, you’re the dad and I wanna keep it Murray world comes crashing in first of all how did you get this number I’m half way across the countryside for this tour *consisting of 8 cities, lame ass tour but BEFORE ROSELIA CALLS HIM he's performing at a stadium in the desert think south west, arizona, new mexico fans come up to him and he does the schtick of pleasing the crowds but then he catches a glimpse of someone familiar then bolts to them it's grown up Bianca has to stand up on her tippy toes to hug around his neck she still fat but she swoons like look at u~ you got sick muscles now you could be one of the security guards murray departs from rest of gang to go off with her looking at the clear vast desert skies at night catching up all night murray debating bringing up her note he gets some closure by telling her he forgives her for leaving without a word but is still hesitant to bring up his past feelings to her now that he's been around the countryside and banging a lot of girls along the way, he feels very dirty being in front of her again and she's literally unchanged then he decides he gunna do it he gunna come clean but then she sneezes her familiar cute baby kitten sneeze when she wipes her nose, he sees a ring like ....... that's new :I oh yeah, I met him while I was going to school he didn't go to school with me he was the son of my uncle's gardener after I would come home, he'd be there helping his dad and I brought them drinks and sometimes I'd help them too uvu my uncle would scorn me, telling me it's their job to get messy but i didn't mind uou murray peeks over growing up, bianca was very poor her only pairs of shoes were a pair of old boots that seemed to last forever by the time she was in middle school, she seemed to already fit into them they were always dirty from being outside sure enough, she's wearing boots, different pairs, but same brand/style and they are worn and muddy even shows her a picture of baby Kassandra and murray like I sure would like to meet her someday Bianca hands her a card with her address like stop by any time! we'd love to have you! and your band could come too if they have the time :> the next morning, Murray gets the call being around bianca that one night has sparked something in murray he's not sure what to call it but maybe from seeing the baby picture, he maybe felt a bit of remorse again for himself if things were different maybe that could have been our baby remorse for the child that IS his like I didn't love this woman, now I have a responsibility to raise it cuz I know going in, this lady is gunna be trouble and everyone else knows it too keeps Serenity on speed dial when he has to get Leila out of there quick KALA ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A SWEET
