Since a SFFiG event occurs every two weeks on the Friday, one fortnight marked with the beginning and end of this time period occurring on the alternate Fridays will be from here on referred to as one SFFiG. Yes we have our own measurement of time now.
So, as you will probably have guessed, news delivered SFFiGly will be arriving on the Fridays that mark the ending of one SFFiG and beginning of a new SFFiG.
Now that makes more sense than a monkey full of barrels.
If you are still confused by all of this, just ignore it and continue reading the important bits that start now:
