Boring, boring, boring! Just imagine being stuck on a production line, doing the same thing for eight plus hours at a time, in a horrible factory. Not to mention the often unsociable hours and the fact that you might have to work night shifts which will do your body clock the world of good. Not! Make sure you make the most of your days off as another soul destroying shift of placing the gherkins into the jar on the production line looms menacingly around the corner!

Children love Exeter City Football in the Community department’s holiday football courses and we're hoping parents will love our 10 per cent discount for all half-term bookings made up until 5pm on Valentine's Day. But while there might be love in the air, there’s every chance there might also be rain, so FITC have ensured rain won’t stop play this half term. “Given the weather we have been experiencing this winter, we've booked as many indoor facilities as we can,” Scott Walker, sports development officer at Football in the Community, said. “Although children are on a break from the...

Sean Hughes has probably changed a little bit since you last saw him. He is, after all, forty seven and not on our screens as much as he was in his Nineties TV heyday. Even his Irish accent has faded. But he’s still funny.
His latest show Penguins begins in zany fashion with Sean performing a brief puppet show to the strains of Edith Piaf’s 'Je ne regretted rien'. Which he proceeds to mime to. While in drag. The reasons for his choice of dress are never really explained and Sean even questions his own music selection arguing (convincingly) that anyone who tells you that they have...

He also has experience of scoring at St James Park – Richards netted the winner for the Gas in the 2012/13 season as the visitors won 2-1, as well as...
