 What do you give someone who has far too much? Why something produced by local artists, designer/makers, of course – it shows thought, individuality and keeps the money in the region while supporting the arts (and let’s not forget the artists). 2 comments - ()Kook-rockers Fatlab played Melting Pot last night, and we’re pleased to confirm the proceedings were largely free of insufferable wackiness. This year’s School’s Exhibition from the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts will be opening at the Cube 3 Gallery, Plymouth on Thursday, December 7 to Thursday, January 11. Entitled Our Environment the youngsters’ art could open some eyes. Then again maybe it won’t. Check it out and get back to us. Posted Yet again, the local press is wagging a finger at the availability of fake or replica guns. This isn’t the first time fake fire arms have been brought to our attention but I wonder whether the real issue has been overlooked. Why are these guns made to look so authentic in the first place?

Regular readers of the People’s Republic could be forgiven for assuming the This Is Exeter website is pretty much beyond parody. Sprawling, right-wing and frequently proper fucking surreal, This Is Exeter is a constant source of piss-taking fun during slow news days at PRSD Towers. There just aren’t enough fairtrade goods to go around, apparently. The recent claims that youthful anti-social behaviour is reaching worrying proportions suggests people are scared to approach youths – and often their own kids.
