Another change in staffing

All right, that’s enough – the bogus predictions and news tips were one thing but the drinking on the job just puts her over the edge. We’ve sadly told Sybill she can no longer post news here, but we have escorted her safely back to Hogwarts, where we hear has taken up decoupage and cribbage. We hope you guys had fun having her around!

(PS:

Harry and the Potters are back together.

Dan Radcliffe has been re-convinced to bare all in Equus in September.

Rick Astley has not been cast as Bill or any other Weasley, though we can’t say with certainty that the video bears no resemblance on the forthcoming movie. Under embargo, you know.)

;)

Oh, and we hear it was April Fool’s yesterday? Boy, we sure hope none of you fell for any lame jokes!

Darn. I personally thought Sybill made an excellent addition to the Leaky staff. Oh, well. Her presence was deeply appreciated while it lasted. XD

In case there’s still any interest, out there, it would be great if we [you] could get ‘Rita’, to put in a ‘Me, Myself and I’ column, next year! {Or SHE could do some fantastic “reporting on what’s “hot” and what’s “not” for next year!] Sitll LMAO!! Melissa and crew, you are the best!

“Oh, and we hear it was April Fool’s yesterday?” Did you really Melissa? :P I love Leaky’s April Fool’s jokes, I always fall for them, at least once I saw Sybill I knew what it was this time. Thanks Melissa and rest of Leaky!

Oh dear, poor Sybill.. there’s no kind Professor McGonagal here on Leaky to back her up on this one. sigh I can’t believe you, Leaky admins, you have sunk down to Umbridge level! shakes fist angrily in air

I did get a kick out of the jokes this year. Therefore, you are forgiven for voting Sybill off the island. :D

I didn’t expect to get rickrolled with the HBP teaser link… I didn’t expect to see the actual trailer either but…eh, well, got rickrolled for the 1st time in my life by leaky! :D I was laughing today at school just by remembering it…and everyone thought I was weird heeheh. Jutti, that was such a fantastic joke! I’d love to be in that school… and Leaky did wish Fred and George a happy birthday, even before the jokes started. I really do love this fandom xD

Funny! Those posts were really amusing. I didn’t believe them. Who was the “Sybil”?

That was brilliant. Fell for it for about two-and-a-half seconds and then realized, oh, yeah, right….April Fool’s! Thanks, Leaky, for a good strong laugh!

Greetings,

Thank you for your response, Melissa and company.

Please reconsider.

Is not necessarily a good thing: http://www.ops.org/HIGH/NORTH/Portals/0/ACADEMICS/newspaper/07_08/020008_I6V84/v87i6.pdf

And it’s time we recognise how even the smallest words can be disrespectful instead of ignoring it: http://www.melted-dreams.net/definition/2006/05/21/on-the-use-of-language/

But it’s good that some people are recognising it: http://forums.theirisnetwork.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=243
