THE GONZOBLOG DOO-DAH MAN DOES NOT APPROVE OF MALWARE (BUT THEN AGAIN WHO DOES?)
The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
Today my dear Godson Greg, is off to see the world. He flies to Bangkok
tonight, on the first leg of a trip which will take him to Thailand, Hong Kong,
Dubai, and all sorts of other interesting places. I am terribly jealous!
Yesterday he and Ross came to tell me about his plans for the trip, and -
although my travelling days are most likely over - I will be following his
progress on social media, and looking forward to his return so I can hear all
about it. God Bless You dear boy.

* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an
old hippy of 58 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?

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology? Well, everything, actually!
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.
