TODAY'S BIG CAT ROUND UP
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. In September 2012 Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.

INAPPROPRIATE CORNER: 'Semi-erect' OAP caught shampooing his genitals on a bus claims he's 'no hardened criminal'
A PENSIONER was caught shampooing his privates on a bus after becoming irritated with his underpants.
Philip Milne, 74, was travelling from Bletchley to Bedford when he began to have some issues with his briefs and unzipped his trousers to 'use some shampoo to soothe his groin area' because he did not have his ointment to hand.He was spotted by a mother and son who 'were chatting and heard there was something going on' and turned around to have a look, Bedford Magistrates' Court heard today (September 3). Prosecuting Camille Gifford said: "In essence the defendant was masturbating while on the bus. “He had his zip undone on his trousers and was rubbing his penis and his testicles." Milne, of Water Eaton Road, Bletchley, had earlier been to the swimming pool when he was found applying the hair-care product on August 13.
Ms Gifford added: "He said he had some issues with some briefs he was wearing and he was using ointment to soothe the area. "He says he became irritated but didn't have the ointment and instead used some shampoo to soothe his groin. "The mother notified the bus driver who then notified the police and Milne was told to stay on the back of the bus.

THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS DYSFUNCTIONAL
The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
I am running a bit late today because of a
GP appointment at an unfeasibly early hour followed by a visit to Morrisons,
followed by me getting righteously angry about the latest government obfuscation
re. the badger cull. The first two worked out OK - I have new diabetic medicine,
coleslaw and chickpeas, as well as some rather nice no-sugar jellies. The badger
cull is still making me angry and Mark Raines (equally incensed) is coming over
to talk about it. My love affair with Eris is continuing apace - I have had a
copy of Illuminatus! on my bookshelf for a quarter of a century, but am reading
it properly for the first time, and alarming all the animals by laughing so
much. I have interviews with Steve Ignorant and Erik Norlander later today, so a
fun-filled day is assured.
Another visit to our old friend Thom the World Poet.

* 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....

Honest guv!
* Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish and sometimes a small Indian frog. 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?

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today
Yesterday’s News Today
On this
day in 2004 Christopher Reeve died. Reeve became most famous for his portrayal
of Superman in the Superman films, but was perhaps more famous for the
determination he showed in trying to regain body functions after he was
paralysed from the neck down. Doctors said he would never regain any any
functions but by the time of his death he was able to breathe unaided for up to
30 minutes.
And now
