Today sees the launch of Jobatronic , a brand new jobsite for Gloucestershire. It's sole purpose is to make it easy for jobseekers to find a job or recruiters to place an advert.

I graduated in 2008 and haven't ever featured any photos of my Degree Show on my blog, so here they are!

My prints were collographs of a large printing block I had made with loads of different natural...

But we love it. Most of us enjoy a cooking...

Until I finish my next proper post, about Edward II's siege of Leeds Castle in the autumn of 1321, here are some pretty random photos of various places and things, most of which have sod-all to do with Edward II. Unfortunately I've been too busy at work lately to be able to devote much time to the blog, and also, distracted and upset by news of the terrible flooding in Cumbria, where I come from. Apparently...

By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 10:07 AM on 16th November 2009 With a 300lb lion in the offing, the couple visiting the safari park could at least console themselves that they had the protection of their car. They watched in glee as the big cat padded up to their white Toyota. Then fascination turned to terror as the creature calmly took the rear-door handle between its teeth ... and pulled...

In the comfort and security of their car, a family thought there was nothing to worry about as they drove through a South African safari park - until a lion calmly opened their back door with his teeth. Published: 11:28AM GMT 16 Nov 2009 The lion may have appeared wild, but it had clearly learnt one or two things about cars after years of watching curious visitors drive past. As the white Toyota came...

Traffic lights that Suck (Free subscription) | 24/10/2009
Every time I travel along this embarrassment, I get more angry. Take tonight, 10pm travelling from Kingsditch to Portland Street. Hardly any cars on the road, I turn onto Tewkesbury Road and the first thing I come to is a red light by KFC even though there is no-one coming in from the side street - for goodness sake, this is a major road and there are phantom light changes. Pull away, over the railway...
