ANDREW MAY: Words from the Wild Frontier
From Nick Redfern's World of Whatever:
THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Reg Presley (1941-2013)
I was fond of Reg We met at a UFO Conference in Truro, about 14 years ago, and he tried to demonstrate his alleged anti-gravity machine to me. The fact that it singularly failed to work didn't phase him at all. He was a genuinely nice bloke, good humoured, and - lest we forget - a bitching songwriter. The world is a poorer place without him.

Dave B-P and Jess came round last night to
drink my wine and discuss our ongoing computer problems. It was lovely to see
them, and Jess' diabetic cake is gorgeous. I am still pretty well out of action
today,but I hope that Graham will have transferred everything of importance to
my back-up computer by the end of the day. The Internet is still ridiculously
slow, and BT seem loth to do anything about it. I would suggest, therefore, for
these and a whole slew of other reasons if you want something at the moment you
would be better off asking Graham graham@cfz.org.uk
or Corinna corinna@cfz.org.uk.
I am pretty well hors de combat at the moment, and will spend most of the day in
deep discussions with the dog.

* The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...
* The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html
* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links
to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are
not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites.
Honest guv!
* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish and batrachians. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?

CRYPTOLINK: Russian scientists say they discover jaws and skeleton of ‘Siberian Loch Ness monster' deep down remote lake’s waters
A word about cryptolinks: We are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting, usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.

A Russian scientist has made the first deep plunge in the waters of
Yakutia’s Lake Labynkyr which claims to be home to a 'Siberian Loch Ness
monster'. The fact has a real chance to be registered in the Guinness Book of
Records, a statement of the Russian Geografical Society (RGO) has
said.
Head of the RGO underwater research team Dmitry Shiller went down
to the bottom of one of the world’s coldest lakes located in the remote Yakutia
region of Russia’s Siberia. This was the first time a man plunged to the depths
of the lake.
DALE DRINNON: Unicorn skull/Benny's blog
Blogger has been difficult over the weekend, so there is one blog
announcement from me and one from Benny as of Monday night:
New on the Frontiers of Zoology:
New on Benny's blog, the Ominous Octopus Omnibus:
FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES (CFZ)
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that - whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot, or lake monsters - it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean Zoologist to be interested in. So, after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo, Corinna has taken the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today
