Dr. Finbar Feeds an Armchair to his Cats 


Dear Everyone who is Reading,

This week we tell you about last week's debacle, this week's 
consequences, and nothing much else.

LAST WEEK

We appeared in body at the Yak for our first appearance after our 
Christmas layoff. We were variously atrocious, appalling, and 
unappealing (though Pete prefers to describe us simply as "an 
embarrassment"). We solemly promise to remedy the situation.

THIS WEEK

We think it would be safer for all concerned if we kept to ourselves 
this week. Pete and Sam are drowning their sorrows at a pub where 
nobody recognises them (could be any pub, really) and Neil is currently 
typing this from under his desk.

THE COMPETITION

There is some good news after all. We've had some entries for the 
latest Finbar competition! Since each entry comprised a string of 
grammatically well-formed English sentences, this means that someone 
will win. And that is indeed exciting news. We're ecstatic, as are the 
prizes. If you haven't entered yet, you still have one week's grace.

Good afternoon all,

The Dr. Finbar Trio.
