Thumbs up With a ping and a pong the fiddle stick exploded, killing hundreds

It's Monday again, (here in Blighty anyway).
Thanks to some ghostly chap in a blue cloak for the mini headlines.



Based on an idea by mr phantom.

All too funny - all of it. But I must say that the McCaber article amused me the most.

And as I was asked, well, hadn't she confessed, I wouldn't have believed there to be a connection between Kath and the Faceless Evil...

This was really great, but what amused ME the most was the Nogrod mini-headline And I only just had chance to look at the video, too. It is amazing

Lovely article on McCaber, btw. The picture, is priceless. I'm going to have to give an aesthetic award for this Downer press photo: He's shown so clear and noble... He's bad, but he's been shamed. So I like it.

Thumbs up

With week #100 just three weeks away, I'm still accepting articles and whatnot for the extra special edition! If you want to be a part of this unpopular abomination to literature, then please, PM your stuff to me at some point or other. Even if you just have a fun picture you'd like included, or an advertisement.

Remember the good old film reviews? Well, I have a challenge to go with week 100. If you fancy yourself as a film critic, drop me a PM and I'll send you a film poster. Give me your review and it'll be in the paper! How does that sound? Plugging my own work? Why, yes I am!

Thumbs up Ninety eight weeks... Lord help me!

This week, a true disaster has struck!



The Phantom soon realises that things never work out the way you expect them to with Alien...



I'm still accepting articles and things for week 100.

Moreover, if you write an article or something for the Oxonmoot paper, I will make you a spceial Downer Press Pass and laminate it (if you're going to the moot, of course). It will look something like this (only better)...

I think it's high time I let everyone know how lucky they are to have The Downer Newspaper to read. Look at the rave reviews:

"Certainly printed on paper!"
- The guardian

"Not as bad as a smack in the face"
- Sir Humphrey

"Terrible"
- The Daily Liar

I mean, it's not like the competition is up to much...



And their comic strip is just... well... judge for yourselves...
