Hey now!

The genius of Foghorn Leghorn
“I-I-I know what you’re gonna say, son. When two halves are gone there’s nuthin left – and you’re right. It’s a little ol’ worm who wasn’t there. Two nuthins is nuthin’. That”s mathematics son. You can argue with me but you can’t argue with the figures. Two half nuthins is a whole nuthin’.” – Foghorn Leghorn.”
Nothing to see here
It is what it is and do what you got to do, Bristol. See ya, tomorrow (maybe).
All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
