I have to complain about press intrusion in last week's issue of the Downer. How on earth their reporters know that davem has the fairy king hiding in his sock drawer I shudder to think...

Boots Random Titles settle in the South Downs

Hm...South Downs, sounds like a gated community. Perhaps they keep track of how many skeletons are in your closet rather than how well-manicured your lawn is?

So not only does Folwren say that during the article, but also she says it on her signature? ... wow, she must really like that phrase...


(And yes Laurinque, I read this weeks Downer... finally...)

Too bad Folwren isn't here to enjoy it. I'll have to make sure she reads it when she gets back.

Have you never heard of Freedom of the Press? What? That actually exists?

I had planned on doing a St Pancake's Day special, but I forgot. Sorry.

I've made a decision, though. This year, at Oxonmoot, I'll be bringing a special, exclusive copy of The Downer which I will give to any fellow Barrow Downers who come. The Oxonmoot Special will be printed on A3 paper and have some inside pages as well as probably a couple of Phantom and Aliens.

Should I be worried that this is the best motivation for me to go to Oxonmoot?

Is one of these P&As the mysteriously lost strip 35? Because that could influence my decision.

Quite possibly.
Actually, the reason for the confusion was due to the olden times one which I saved under the name 'P and A 035' and I never noticed. I will rectify the mistake at some point.

Hookbill, what if one can't go to Oxenmoot? Does that mean that we don't get the special edition of the Downer? Because if that is true, then I will be missing out on it...

That's Complete Sadness...

I will probably post it on the Downs after Oxonmoot. But some content will be exclusive to Mooters, unless one of them wishes to scan it in or something.
It all depends on how it goes, really, and what format it takes.

That's enough to get me depressed for the rest of the week.
