WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

ROYAL WEDDING VULGARITY

Well as most people who know me will know, I am a Royalist, and believe that we should keep our current dynastical Heads of State if only because it stops us having a politician at the top of the heap. And let's face it, if we were to have an elected ceremonial Head of State like they do in some countries, then the marching morons would end up voting for Robbie Williams, or some bint off a reality TV show.

However, I do abhor the appaling vulgarity that does seem to surround the Royals, especially at times like this knitted wedding party that I photographed the other night in Reading.

And this takes the proverbial biscuit.........

This is pretty gross.

You could always bring back the Stewarts (and, no, I don't mean Michel Lafosse).

I believe there is a Stewart club in London, where they hang the picture of the Stewart claimant on the wall in place of the Queen. He is the Duke of Bavaria. The only trouble is that, as he is a Catholic, his coronation would be contrary to UK law.

The sad truth is that, even if he were made king, souvenirs of an equally grotesque nature would doubtless be made for him.

Fear not, though. I suspect the vulgarity of this will be dwarfed by things likely to appear in the next weeks.

Speaking of royals, can anyone out there give me any information regarding the whereabouts of Stuart Pendragon, who, I have been told, claims to have royal blood (bar sinister)? He was last heard of some years ago digging up a street in Glastonbury with a mechanical digger. He had apparently secured permission to do some digging in Glastonbury from a town councillor who presumably thought he intended to use a spade on some grass.
