FIFA World Cup 2014 Qualifier, Tuesday 10 September 2013, Olympic Stadium, Kiev
England's World Cup destiny remains in their own hands after a somewhat drab goaless affair in Kiev.
With England one point clear at the top of group H, victory in their remaining home games against Montenegro and Poland on 11 and 15 October respectively, would see them qualify for Brazil 2014 as group winners.
With few chances for either side, a 0-0 scoreline seemed a fair outcome. England offered little in the way of attacking flair - an early...
Critically acclaimed theatre company Third Man are returning to the Bike Shed Theatre for the premiere of their new production, Mugs Arrows, which was developed at the venue last year. The show will run for three weeks starting on 24 September.
Mugs Arrows is a surreal black comedy set in very ordinary surroundings – the local pub. With rural areas being forever altered through commercial development and extreme weather conditions and locals disenchanted by a lack of jobs and the ever-increasing allure of a life elsewhere, Mugs Arrows delves in to a world that is on the change. It...
“Just breathe… from the guts… just breathe. Cos nothing’s going to happen.”

These geese are part of a global, public-participatory piece I am working on in collaboration with Professor Stuart Bearhop of Exeter University. I am sending out 10,000 postcards in the shape of migratory geese all over the world, asking people to write on them and post them back to me. Those that return to complete their ‘migration’ will hang in a huge installation in the shape of a flock of birds at Hope Hall, Heavitree in Exeter during Devon Open Studios in September.
As individuals, birds are vulnerable, insignificant - en masse, in migration, they signify a powerful force of...

Exeter City Council will decide whether or not to change the way they charge developers next week. Exeter City Council will reach a decision on introducing the ‘Community Infrastructure Levy’, which will set a fixed charge on new developments in the city. If introduced the Levy would only apply to housing, student accommodation and out of city centre retailing developments. Previously the Council has set charges on a case by case basis but the process, which can be costly and time consuming, is being scaled back by Government. If introduced, the Levy will provide extra funding for new...
