Letters to Felix

An American Dream

This past summer, I worked in a resort with an entirely European staff. Since we were in New Hampshire, USA and I was one of two Americans working there, it was a cultural experience for me. I am a small-town girl form New York. New York the state, not the

Early celebrations (and downright arrogance) fail to halt Fencers charge

Imperial College Men’s and Women’s First Drinking team won again. Unfortunately, the women, after seeing the men thrash the shit out of Nottingham, failed to match them for total domination of the game. What are we talking about? Why, fencing of course. The Men’s team consisted of

Voice of Reason

I shall deal with the very important business first. Due to a technical error last week, the thrust of my final point about Southside became a tad garbled. The piece as written implies that I am advocating the consumption of cream beers, such as Caffreys. Nothing could be further from

IC fifths beaten by peasants

On Saturday, IC fifths, down to ten players thanks to third team captain Pereira’s lack of organisation, were defeated by King’s fifths - who must surely be the ugliest team in the league. The first half was even, despite Flossy’s inch-perfect through-pass to the opposition centre forward,

Grip Inc.

Nemesis are a metal band and quite a good one at that. You know, this is the sort of hard rocking music you find on the soundtrack on skate videos. Trouble is Nemesis bear a striking resemblance to many a metal band- ‘Empress (Of Rancor)’ (some sort of Star Wars

Bugs-U-Like?

Is there any food you would consider 100% safe to eat? No sooner has one food scare passed before another is affecting our supermarket choices. The battering of public confidence by salmonella in eggs, the crisis over BSE in beef and deaths in Scotland due to Escherichia coli has finally
