Can someone go to that field near Birmingham Airport and knock on the door in the tree? Just to see if it opens. Looking at it, presumably it does so to the inside, which wouldn't leave a lot of room inside unless the door leads to a staircase.

Talking of wood, I had to laugh at the Norwegian bloke who was so entranced with the log burning broadcast that he accidentally threw a log onto the fire on the TV instead of his own hearth, thus smashing his screen.

Konspiracy Korner is as quietly informative, as ever. Particularly about Arch-Bairite D.Miliband's new 'charity' job, over the pond. Cool

It may after all be just a fault in the printing of my own particular copy, but does anyone else have a wraith/BVM/Jesus Christ/Osama Bin Laden etc etc ad bloody infinitum emerging from the chimney of the house in the lower photograph of those fantastic lenticular clouds over the Sound of Iona?

Came home from a rather terrifying day at work (nothing unusual at that!) to find my copy waiting for me. I must say, with all the hype, the display of male crotches was not what I was expecting!

This issue of FT has returned to its usual high standards...

Finally finished reading my copy. Was a pretty enjoyable read. Some good IHTM, an informative piece on animal mutilations and I loved the reincarnated cat story. The Illustrated Police News is rapidly becoming one of my favourite parts of the mag!

I did think the articles were a little weak though. Some guy arguing that Madam Blavatsky was just a sweet little old bullied lady who totally wasn’t racist at all (honest honest), the cursed Diana dresses was really clutching at straws (I think people lost money not because of cursed items of fabric but because they were involved in dodgy financial transactions) and the firestarter article didn’t have much meat in it (“I talked to a family, they seemed legit, ergo djinni”).

I’m a bit concerned about the preview for next month. Sex ghosts? Shocked

I liked the Blavatsky article but she waas a strange 'un.

Interesting book reviews, the Roy Palmer bio sounds intriguing, probably get it in pb. The Dracula book is another one for the list.

Nice round up / analysis of Boston Bombing conspiracies.

Animal mutilation story certainly dispels a few myths. It doesn't explain away, it explains. Maybe the Real HA is back.

Good stuff in Strange Days love this sentence: It was sighted by a Dutchman atop a hired elephant.

I loved the HA's animal mutilations article, until I got to the line about 'perverts and deviants and pagans of various stripes, who found, and find, entertainment in hacking at dead animals'

It's not often I get offended, especially about religion, but I do have to wonder whether the Hierophant's Apprentice genuinely believes that hurting a living creature is in any way a pagan thing. I would argue it's about as far from average pagan behaviour as you could get. Yes, every faith our belief has its nutters, but the language used paints a very broad stripe across pagans in general, and leaves a sour taste.

Anyway, I felt the point worth raising, but it won't spoil my enjoyment of an otherwise pretty decent issue Wink
