Did Pyra Pathak ever get her wallet back?
How about that for a cool name for a play? But I like to call this The Accidental Finding of a Purse - sure no one gets thrown off a roof, but the events seem so bizzarely bureacratic that they may as well have been. Did Pyra Pathak Ever Get Her Wallet Back? is Richard Dedomenici’s one-man show about trying to invoke the right of finders keepers. If Dedomenici’s other escapades are anything to go by this should be interesting and amusing, to boot. It’s on at the Exeter Phoenix on Tuesday 24 at 8pm, and it’s £9, unless you can convince them you should pay £7.

Burn baby burn
Biomass.
What, you mean you want more? Well, ‘Regen SW, the renewable energy agency for the South West of England, has received an investment in excess of £1/2 million to help develop the region’s bioheat sector.’
Biomass is when you burn stuff to make energy, usually heat. The idea is you grow it, you burn it, you grow it, you burn it… It being an energy crop. Now all this is very well, and indeed laudable - jobs, investment, expretise, renewables. So huzzah, to the Mendips, Holesworthy and Bideford for the schemes there, but especially Tavistock and the ‘The Pitt’s Cleave industrial estate, which has been jointly developed by the South West RDA and West Devon Borough Council, and also uses a wood-chip powered boiler and an Earth Energy heating system.’
There’s going to be a whole lot more burning going on.
