Football fourths’ title charge

After going a goal down as early as the second minute, ICFC fourths dominated the game. Although only one-all at half-time we should have been leading and the reasons for this were bad misses by Pete, Darren and Morgan. Darren came good in the second half, completing his hat-trick, and

Jerry Maguire

It may sound like another Hollywood film about the IRA but it is in fact a romantic comedy about the sleazy world of sports promotion. Tom Cruise plays the title character, a sports agent (a sort of American Eric Hall only rather more appealing and without the cigar) who has

Elections Analysis

The most outstanding feature of this year’s sabbatical elections was the 40% increase in turnout over the 1996 results. Almost four hundred extra South Kensington students voted, marginalising the St Mary’s vote, which stayed static at just under three hundred, from one third to one quarter of the

Phish - Billy Breathes

I was waiting in the Felix office and leapt when this CD was offered. This was the first point at which I was worried. No one else wanted to even touch the box. I persevered and listened to the whole album. Some albums are bad, some are good, but this

Marsh Light - Kate Hatfield

This novel describes the lives of Helena, a thirty-something antique restorer and her family. We see the needlessly antagonistic relationship between her father and stepmother and the other intense emotions of loved ones as they interrelate. Helena and her almost pathetic (but ultimately understandable) neuroses are the focal point of

Bound

The Wachowski brothers have drawn obvious comparisons with the Coen brothers. Both sets of brothers co-write and co-direct and they both are responsible for some of the best film noirs of the past few years. If anything Bound is a better debut feature than Blood Simple was in 1983. It

Voice of Reason

Since this article is well behind schedule, I am able to pass comment on the Election results. Not Wirral South (allow a man his private grief) but our own little shindig. All in all, you, for the most part, voted sensibly. Congratulations to Smita, Rob And Jeremy, whom I know

Eels - Beautiful Freak

Another trans-Atlantic offering, and due to the amount of airplay their current single, ‘Novocaine For The Soul’, we’re all curious to see what the Americans are going to send us next. They sing of a narcotic underworld, dark days and darker nights over light, breezy, quiet melodies. No matter

White Town - Women In Technology

A lonely guy, all alone in his bedroom with only a PC, a keyboard, guitar and his imagination for company. The writer, computer, performer and ‘everything else’ behind one of the records of the year, the instant number one smash ‘Your Woman’. Jyoti Mishra, the man behind White Town, and

Imperial plumps for a new election

Over 1,000 Imperial College students voted in this week’s Sabbatical Elections to reopen nominations for the post of ICU President, the highest vote for New Election ever recorded. Sam Baker, the only candidate for the post, lodged an official complaint detailing her grievances with certain aspects of the

Miners gotta lotta bottle

After five years of trying, the RSM rugby team brought "The Bottle" back to the union bar. The game was a fiercely fought contest from the start, Cambourne literally fighting for the ball. The weight of the RSM pack always meant that Cambourne would struggle in the scrums,

The Seal Wife - Attic Theatre Company

I love Scotland. I only spent a short time up there, just a couple of months, but what instantly hits you up there is how much closer the people in the community seem. Everybody knows everyone else and gossip travels fast. It’s just this innate Scottishness that makes "
