  The Features section starts off this weeks edition with the usual mix of banter, serious reading and competitions. There's some wonderful poetry on offer this week in the Fiction Section, with offerings from Hypatia, Witchone, Smudger and Ameuc. The Cartoon Section has all the rugulars, including a Cat-egories that is rather homesick. Finally the Regular Section which is missing a few articles this week as our wonderful writers go away for some well earned R and R. Don't miss Mr. Inquisitor's interview with Vercingetorix and the review of 'High Society' by Ben Elton in The Bookworm Club Review.
