YOU'RE GONNA WRITE ME A LETTER, THE SOONER THE BETTER

My postbag continues to delight and amuse. So far this morning I have another blue dog picture from Naomi, a pile of research material from Richard Muirhead (who really is a marvel) covering Irish lake monsters and historical sightings of wildmen in Poland, and a parcel from blogdude Bigfoot73 (aka John Coates). He has very kindly sent me a 1tb RAM card, and the Command & Conquer game that I rather cheekily asked for (not thinking for a moment that anyone would send it to me).

Thank you, my dear.

The CFZ has been funded by private subscription, and donations for seventeen years now, but it is a two-way process. Next week, everything being OK, we will be donating a working (though slightly ancient) computer, to Tony "Doc" Shiels who is a working (though slightly ancient) wizard, and today the CFZ fighting fund paid for a new USB keyboard for Dizzy Miss Lizzy, who managed to knacker hers by pouring coke all over it.

Before anyone repeats Max's idiotic slur, it was the sort of coke that comes in a bottle and is rather good mixed with rum, rather than the other sort, although the idea of Ms C. doing a line of Bolivian Marching Powder off her laptop is admittedly amusing.

So if you have any computer equipment up for grabs let me know. I will find it a good home, and who else would mix Ecclesiastes 11:1 with a string of poor drug jokes?

    Oh well, I suppose I should take this moment to post the world's corniest computing and Fortean joke:

    Q: What is red, yellow and green and says 'Pieces of seven, pieces of seven'?

    a: A parroty error!
