Football fourths return from the dead

The performance was immaterial, all that mattered was the result, and thankfully after trailing 2-0 half-way through the second-half the victory was obtained.

ULU Judo one step short of second national gold

On the 9th of March, the ULU judo team defended their 95-96 BUSA Championship title. After a disappointing outcome in the individual fights on the previous day, including several injuries, the team morale was somehow low. But the spirit picked up after a 5-0 win in the first fight. Aris

Nature or Nurture: Zadie Smith's White Teeth

Zadie Smith’s postcolonial family saga White Teeth is a vibrant ode to London’s multiculturalism. Its blend of humour, history, drama, and even biology(!) made it a favourite of mine almost immediately. It follows Archie, an Englishman, and Samad, a Bangladeshi man, who meet during World War II.
