Over the years, with the rapid progress of technology, more and more people have become interested in betting. For many years, betting was reluctantly seen in society. One has heard many stories about fraudsters and the betting was thereby classified as negative. In fact, betting on sporting events has existed since ancient times. No one knows exactly when humanity began to make a bet on certain things. It's been used for entertainment and proof that you're right for many years. Who would have thought that the enthusiasm for betting in modern times is getting up again. And this even to...

Ardal O’Hanlon: The Showing Off Must Go On
Friday, Exeter Northcott
Ardal O’Hanlon continues to tour his acclaimed stand-up shows worldwide. Because he loves it. And it’s a compulsion. And the world is a funny place. In an age of raging populism, MeToo, identity politics, the end of truth, the collapsing middle ground, peak avocado and £15 Gin and Tonics, and terrified of being on the wrong side of history, and desperate to prove that his gender, race, age and class don’t...
Exeter will strive to become a carbon-neutral city in just over a decade in an ambitious new vision adopted by the City Council.
Councillors recently backed a motion recognising the scale and urgency of the global challenge from climate change, and accepted that the City has a duty to act “quickly, collectively and concertedly” to avoid the worst of the predicted outcomes.
The bold commitment was made today (Friday 15 March) on a day of environmental protests across the country. Cllr Rachel Sutton, Lead Councillor with responsibility for the Low Carbon Task Force, met with...
When you ask a server in a restaurant where the scampi is from and you are given what amounts to a postcode, you know they know their stuff.
I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of Rockfish in Exeter which, when it comes to the dining experience, (and here's the pun) is the plaice to be!
We were served with an array of delightful dishes including, spider crab croquettes, ceviche sardines, cuttlefish, oysters and scampi.
When the scampi tray came around, I was informed by the server that they would be the tastiest and juiciest I had ever experienced....
In some respects, the driverless vehicle revolution remains some way from realising its full potential and impacting on the consumer mainstream. At the heart of this is the relatively fledgling nature of the technology, with autonomous test vehicles and pioneers such as Uber having previously been involved in high profile fatalities .
However, given the level of investment that major tech brands have made in autonomous vehicle technology, it seems inevitable that driverless cars will eventually take over the global auto industry while also revolutionising the private vehicle hire...
