* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 57 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. 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 Archie and the Cats?

    The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
    And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme
    It's Sunday once again its time
    to do the Sunday blogs in rhyme,
    and I'm earlier than usual today
    Because Mike Davis is on his way,
    and we will start making some music,
    me on computer, him on acoustic
    guitar, as is always our fun  way
    to use up what's left of our Sunday
    Strange Days indeed...
