Branching out
We at the People’s Republic have finally twigged (geddit?) to sculptor Andy Goldsworthy’s exhibition at Plymouth College of Art and Design - thanks Jo. The man of nature, who uses stones, twigs (see that was funny), ice and even snow in his work, will have his work on display at the college in Tavistock Place, Plymouth, until February 10. Call for more details on this free exhibition.
And if you’re knocking around Plymouth tomorrow you could do worse than hang around outside the Civic Centre in the cold, noonish to catch Mouthy, who will be playing to big up the Plymouth Youth Parliament elections. Towards Reason, that almost famous four-piece, will be on stage at about 2.15pm, followed at 5pm by Scientist and the Orange Pip.

I need a hero
Any kids who watched Bryan Singer’s recent film would be forgiven for thinking Superman spends his days convincing Lois to ditch her hubby and getting chinned by skinny bald blokes. Wadda swizz.
That’s why (kinda) ChildLine is giving youngsters the chance to put the spotlight on their own everyday heroes by nominating them for the BT ChildLine Awards 2007.
They don’t have to have magical powers or demonstrate super-human strength (though that would be pretty cool) but nominees should go out of their way to make a difference to young people’s lives.
Although you can’t pick close family members, you can nominate foster parents and ChildLine also wants to hear from parents or carers on behalf of children who, through illness or disability, are unable to make their own nominations.
The winners will be announced in June and invited to a glittering awards ceremony at London’s swanky BT Tower to receive their award - as well as a handful of notes to donate to a charity of their choice.
Superman eat your heart out, eh? But not at the ChildLine Awards. That’d be gross.
