The Gonzo Daily - Sunday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme

 

I really am not too sure about the world in which we live in

the planet itself is beautiful, but I hope I am forgiven

but the human race en masse gets on my tits, and on this topic

although I love and/or like individual folk I get more misanthropic

with every day that passes and every email that I read

and all the useless information that is far more than I need

I realised some years ago that I really do not fit,

and that my chosen role in society is a bad tempered old git

TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS

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. 

The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.

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.

No sooner had Max gone home, than we had a telephone call heralding the appearance of Helen and Jessica Taylor. I hadn't seen Jess since she stopped working for me over a year ago, and it was lovely to catch up with her. Then, soon after they wended their weary way back home, along came Martin Eve demanding wine. He was most put out to hear that Max and I had gone through four and a half bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon the evening before, but he happily drank the rest of the last bottle, whilst regaling me with personal abuse. I managed to get Gonzo Weekly finished, and got to bed (and fairly soon asleep) at midnight, only to be woken this morning by a reporter wanting to interview me about British big cats.

 

Same old same old...
