The weekly poem
In a world of "you and me",

I am a ship that’s lost at sea,
Will I ever see the shore again,
And will someone rescue me?

A letter in the last edition of Felix raised some interesting questions about political bias in this newspaper, accusing my fellow columnist and I of partisan reporting, and hoping we’d all be gagged in the run-up to the election in six days time (I guess it didn’t have

White Nights
Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s short novella revolving around loneliness, unrequited love, and dreams still resonates with our society today.
