Hi Jon - hope you're well. Do you know of any strange animal/paranormal encounters relating to cricket grounds/clubs/cricketers. I write for the Cricketer magazine, usually just about cricket, but they like this idea, too.
Many thanks

ROBERT SCHNECK WRITES: Trailcam suggestions
Hi Jon,
I was watching last month's OTT and had a thought about trail-cams. If you need to mount them on public land, maybe they'll be less noticeable with camouflage painted on the box.

Maurice Bernard Sendak (June 10, 1928 – May 8, 2012) has died. For those not aware of his work, he was an American writer and illustrator of children's literature. He was best known for his book Where the Wild Things Are, first published in 1963.MILDLY AMUSING NONSENSE ABOUT BIGFOOT...
Yep. We found Bigfoot.
By Dan Pearce
While out hiking, we came across undeniable evidence of Bigfoot. But that wasn't all we found. We got pictures of Bigfoot himself.
I have to admit that this raised a feeble smile from me first thing this morning, and made more sense than some of the more orthodox cryptozoological stories that I found in my in-box...

I'M THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN
It is grey and wet outside.
The budgies in the aviary are looking tousled and cross, but are chattering away to each other in an irritated manner.
Inside the strains of 'Search the Truth' by W.O.F issue from my study as I sit down to write deathless prose about today's blog updates. And what a bunch of updates they are:
First off the starting block is a real exclusive; part one of an interview with Dan Wooding about his recently updated biography of Rick Wakeman. Today, Dan tells the story of how he first met Rick, and how Elton John came to write the foreword

The other day we posted my review of a smashing DVD about Frank Zappa's two record labels. Today, as an afterthought, I muse upon one of Captain Beefheart's most under-rated albums, which - furthermore - is one of which I am very fond:

Over the next few days you will be reading rather a lot about a band called Galahad. To start the ball rolling, I thought that I had better introduce them:
