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...

INAPPROPRIATE CORNER: Let me spend my money my way


A PENSIONER who spent £6,500 in nine weeks on a prostitute is having to limit his sex life after social services took control of his money.

Albert Skipper sold his maisonette in Eltham 18 months ago, to move into sheltered housing in the borough following the death of his 73-year-old wife, Anna, from emphysema in December, 2001.
The 81-year-old began to see a 35-year-old call girl to take away the loneliness and, in just nine weeks, spent the entire £6,500 deposit he had received from the house sale.
Once his doctor found out about the lavish spending, social services took control of the pensioner’s finances through a court of protection order to stop him squandering the £85,000 from the sale of his maisonette.
But Mr Skipper, who has no children, says he can now only afford to visit a brothel once every few weeks as social services give him just £90 a week.
He said: “They are stopping my money because they don’t want me to spend it on call girls. What do I want to save money for? I’m 81.
“You can’t stop nature. I like to enjoy myself. Being on your own is a killer. I spend money on women because I lost my wife.
“We were married for 55 years. My wife was a professional singer. I really loved her. I miss her.” He added: “After my wife died, I saw a call girl for four months. She didn’t tell me she was a call girl at the time. I took her out and rigged her out.
