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...

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE

I don't think that any reader or user of these blogs can fail to have noticed that our service has been patchy to say the least over the past few days. This is because our Internet access has veered between non-existent and sparse. Yesterday (or to be more accurate, the wee small hours of today) , for example, we didn't finish getting all the blog postings out until 2am.


I do apologise for this, but it is truly completely beyond my control. David B-P and his glamorous assistant Jo-Jo (see below) are going to be doing something arcane with the telephone points this morning which may have some effect, but if it doesn't, basically we just have to continue our dialogue with British Telecom, which so far has gone.

JON: Forgive me for complaining but we have no internet access today

BT: Yes you have

JON: No I haven't

BT: You must be mistaken

JON: I assure you that I am not

BT: What do you expect us todo about it?

JON: Restore my service or I won't pay my telephone bill

BT:  Then we will cut you off... (which they did)

JON: I shall have to (reluctantly pay my bill) but we still have no internet access today


BT: Yes you have

Might I humbly suggest Alan & Andrews ISP? They have a reputation for technical competence (as opposed to slug-witted intransigence, BT's forte) and I've been hearing quite a few glowing reports about them.
