I was sort of expecting a poem dedicated to me... it is an anniversary issue after all.

Part one of our series of alternate newspapers.

The Dead Times is an old and well established paper that attempts to appear sophisticated and high brow, but almost always ends up being silly and deranged. Reporting on important and pressing issues like lunch and beards, it sets itself up as the number one spot for irrelevant news that is made to sound more relevant than the end of the world!

And now back to your regularly scheduled Phalian.

Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien, you can look back though the...

VOLUME 1 | VOLUME 2 | VOLUME 3 | VOLUME 4

I'm drawing Volume 4 to a close, soon. But do not despair, my friends! Volume 5 is just around the corner. I've realised some of my mistakes with Volume 4 (too little planning and not enough attention to detail), but the next series is going to, I think, rival volume 3 in terms of scope and goodness!

So far, all I can tell you as that the title will be;

THE PHANTOM AND ALIEN'S JOURNEY THROUGH TIME

Questions will be answered! Adventures will be had! Insanity will be welcomed! All your favourite P&A things will be in it! And possibly Dennis, too!

They don't get their hands on a TARDIS, do they? Or a Time Turner? That would be all wrong.

They already got their hands on a watch and a hat. They don't need a TARDIS.

They aren't cool enough for a sports car. :P

Concerning the late The Downers' edition I feel obliged to stress one word from a headline appearing there.

"Nogrod May Not Actually be Iluvatar in a Mask."

Just to keep you guessing...

May The Downer rest in peace until it's time for a resurgence.

PART TWO of our journey through alternate newspapers on the Downs! This week, everyone's least favourite tabloid rag, proudly reporting from the very gutter of the press, it's The Barrow! Home of Justin Durham and scandals.

And now back to your regularly scheduled Phalian.

VOLUME 1 | VOLUME 2 | VOLUME 3 | VOLUME 4

Next week we'll be having a visit from The Financial Wight, a know-it-all paper that thinks that anything about money must be newsworthy.
I'll do my best to prepare some papers for during Britainmoot but I make no promises. There should be an internet connection, so things should happen nicely... We shall see, though.
