Films update:
This week at your local Barrow Film place, you can catch the new Film adaptation of The Downer's own 'Phantom and Alien'. It is a terrible film! Truly! As bad as the mini comic series is, this is ten times worse! The jokes are predictable and not funny, the acting is shabby and the computer graphics look like they were done on Power Point. Seriously, folks, leave it out of our plans.

"Alien versus Phantom", eh? Following the "Alien versus Predator" format, I suppose? I guess that means we both die. How sad.
Just promise me this, HB- let me die with a black cloak on my back, a beautiful girl on my arm, and an arrogant statement on my tongue. That's all I ask.

Ah, Mr Phantom, I was wondering when you might show up here. I do hope you are not insulted by any of the comic strips that you have been included in.
If nothing else, you'll get some royalties from it.

Hay, Eomer, it was only after writing that headline that I realised that Porridge is supposed to be the Scottish national breakfast. Weird!
Anyway, folks. It's time for the big vote! Who do you want to win in a fight between The Phantom and Alien? Not who would win, but who do you want to win. VOTE ON THE POLL In other news, with Christmas just around the corner, The Downer is looking for more journalists to write some articles for the front page as Hookbill the Goomba becomes more pressed for time. If you have a story, PM it to me. Try and keep it between 100 - 150 words long or I may have to edit it down a tad. Thanks folks! Also, it has come to the attension of The Downer that a rival Newspaper has come on the scene. The Editor would like to remind readers of The Downer that tabloyd newspapers very rarely give you the truth, as our paper does. In face, if you look at the front page of this weeks 'The Barrow' you will see what I mean.  I expect it to go down the pan very quickly.

The grey rain curtain of last week is pulled away and then, you see it! The next week, with all of it's specialties and whatnot!
 And, who could forget, the comedy duo of the year! Well, sort of.

 Look how short Phantom used to be.

Game-Warden to the Events Rhino
Okay folks. The Christmas preparations begin here, I'm afraid.
But first, lets get down to business...  Pending the court case with the Downs' society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, here is The Phantom and Alien...  But that's not all! Oh no. For, with Christmas just three weeks away, 'we' here at The Downer have decided to go one step further with our Christmas celebrations. Yes, folks, here, for the first time, is the script to the upcoming TV special, 'Prime Suspect 409' staring the Barrow Downs very own 'Lalwende' and 'Eomer'. Part one is today, Two next Monday and the concluding episode will be on Christmas day! Oh, and do remember this is a serious Newspaper:  Enjoy!

Hehe! I like me being a right slave driver!
And I'm quite taken with the zebra pulled 'police car'. What is davem's dark secret? Did Glirdan really do it? Is Tom aware that his dear wife looks like a piece of cheese? Tune in next week to find out...

looks like a Matrix-style move from Alien to me
well...and even if the cartoon gets more popular, it might increase the newspaper's popularity still...I don't remind being served any soil...

Well, I anyway had to lose some weight, so the closing down of the chips factory is a good thing I guess, though they did taste good
And as far as Alien is concerned, I think Lalwende might be right on that one, I could imagine Alien wanting to make an acid-corpse cocktail...poor Phantom

I'm not at all surprised I was confused by Serious, as cats continue to confuse me with their strange feline ways...I shall be examining his Litter Box for evidence...
Alien this week reminds me of something my friend once told me - that he was once (allegedly) given a slap by a Sunday School teacher for saying it would have been far more impressive had Jonah swallowed the Whale...

I'm not deeeeeaaaaad!
Ahem, I'm sorry but I've been unable to use the computer much due to school/university and such. I will however be making a triumphtant return in April. Yes, I have something planned.
Also since it never got out I believe, TORE won ME Idol. In other news, that was not me it was my doppleganger.

Olden Times...
Unfortunately, there was no News this week. So, I had a look through The Downer's archives and found this long lost edition from many, many years ago. Enjoy!
 It even comes with the whimsical adventures of Sir Phantom and Master Alan...  Even Serious Cat was around in those days...
