Robin Hood film to open Cannes Film Festival!

Celebrating a Nottingham legend and set in the city and nearby Sherwood Forest, Russell Crowe's latest film Robin Hood is opening this year's Cannes Film Festival!

Further to Ben's post last month about favourite Nottingham phrases, The Times has been reporting on how Russell Crowe learned to speak with a Nottingham accent: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article7069754.ece

Human Factors Research Group -University of Nottingham

Hi All,

Last month was very busy, submitting papers and attending labs and rail control rooms which reminds me that you do not really know what is my PhD about, well I don't guarantee that I quite know what my PhD is really about but I have some idea...

My PhD is in Manufacturing Engineering and Operational Management and is guided by Human Factors Research Group in University of Nottingham and it is funded by Network Rail which is owner of and responsible for rail infrastructure in UK.
