You probably think I treated you badly by quitting without notice, but it’s your own fault. You gave me this big cock-cock-andand--bullbull story about how much money I could make selling tires and all that crap. “The sky’s the limit” and so forth. If you had been honest with me I would not have taken the job in the first place; but if I hadn’t taken it I wouldn’t have quit without giving you a couple of weeks notice. Anyhow, I have a check coming. I am enclosing a stamped, selfself-- addressed envelope in which you can send it. I had better get that check, because I know what authorities to complain to if I don’t get it. If I have to complain about the check, then while I’m at it, I might as well complilain a bout th he fact th hat you don ’h’t have a proper cage for putting air in split-split-rimrim tires, which, if I am not mistaken, is illegal.

  • Newsletter 12
    NEWSLETTER 12 Welcome to the Summer season … The Phoenix Summer season is traditionally our shortest, six films this time around, and includes two “specials” in the form of our joint screening with Union Films as well as our Gap Week Members’ choice film. The former is The Wife, starring Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce and is a film which would probably have won an Oscar and a Bafta for the leading actress if Olivia Colman in The Favourite had not got in the way. The Wife is very much the story of that familiar saying “Behind any great man, there's always a greater woman” and Glenn Close’s performance nails it completely. Please note that The Wife will be screened on Tuesday May 7th at 7 p.m. Speaking of Colman’s film, that was bested by A Private War in the Gap Week film vote, so Rosamund Pike’s performance as the late journalist Marie Colvin will be our special screening on May 15th at our usual time of 8 p.m. Union Films Summer term programme With exams looming for so many students, the UF Summer term programme (as it stands at the time of writing) is destined to help students relax in between those pesky essays and viva voce. It is UF Manager Alex Petrov’s last programmed season and we thank Alex and team for their support during the year.
