Friday the Thirteenth- Very Bad News Day For Conrad Black!


Chicago: After almost two weeks of deliberation, Lord Conrad Black received the bad news he was not looking forward to hearing. His Lordship has discovered that the stained glass beginner course being taught at the facility where he might be spending the next thirty five years or so is no where near as good as the one being taught at Fantasy In Glass Glassworks.

It was announced today that Lord Black (or BU0100F as he’s known to the staff at FIG) has enrolled in the Beginner Course at FIG as taught by Louie or Treece, this September. Special arrangements have been made to accelerate the curriculum to accommodate his anticipated trip to a more secure environment in November.

Requests from His Lordship for gold-plated Supercutters lubricated with Truffle Oil and grinders filled only with sparkling Evian Rose Water are being considered by the management. It has also been suggested by Ms. Black that a complete duplicate set of studio tools be provided for his Lordship in England as ‘you can never count on being on the right continent at the time when you need your tools’.

Rumours that the razor strop from Lord Black’s purchase of Napoleon Bonaparte’s shaving stand is now being used to sharpen his newly purchased Don Carlos Solingen Steel Lead Knife (available exclusively at Fantasy In Glass) has not yet been verified.
