To celebrate this most unusual of occurrences, may I present the first ever Downer with the main headline written by someone else? Yes?
No, not yes... There was one other... remember week 104? The main headline wasn't written by you, Hookbill, but by someone else. By me. I at least remember that!

What? You mean this week 104? The main headline was written by me. The 'inside' headlines and the 'magazine' ad were yours.

The British accent in overrated
Which one? English, Scottish, or Welsh? And which dialect? I've always thought Northern Welsh was a particularly good one.
Or are you one of those people who think that 'British' means 'Stereotypical English bloke'? I grieve for the world, some times.

In other News...

For all you Oxonmooters...
Work on the Special paper has begun! It will probably be printed on A3 sized paper and consist of; Front Page, two inside pages and one back page. There may even by a special Phantom and Alien there too.
So, if you're heading to the moot, don't be surprised if I shove one of these in your face and, while you're distracted, steal your shoes.
At the moment I'm planning on bringing about 6, maybe 7. I can't seem to get a definite figure on the number of Wights attending, but I'd rather take too many than not enough.

Right... That's what I said wasn't it? Sorry, I must have been a bit confused...

I've never heard Welsh and I think Scottish, and Irish for that matter, sounds a lot nicer (probably because it's more rugged) than English.
