Wow! For once I get to see the Downer on Sunday!

So many things happening to so many downers! It certainly looks like it has been a busy week.

The second article was hilarious!

That was all too funny, especially Raynor's hotel and the mini-heads. And I sincerely hope that the 'downer who won the right to eat her/his sister was not Greenie and not in werewolf (not in any other circumstances either, for that matter).

Also, I'm glad they removed Agan's teeth so she won't be biting people that much (again, I could mention werewolf

).

Anyway, I can only wonder how do you Hookbill always find the time to do this marvellous newspaper. But I'm very glad you do.

What one lacks in life, one makes up for in pointless endeavors.

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...

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?

How very odd! I was dreaming about talking tornados chasing me up and down Middle Earth sunday night! Well anyhow, I like the weather news...The Downer should have a weather page in it.....

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?
