George Bristow's Secret Freezer

My adventures in the (drum roll)... World of Birds! Clash! As nobody has been asking, I'll explain. George Bristow was a taxidermist at the hub of the Hastings Rarities scandal. From 1896 to 1939, hundreds of rare birds passed through his shop in St Leonards-on-Sea which he claimed were locally killed. They were later shown to be fraudulent. I'd like to think that at the back of his shop was a time machine linked to a freezer in another dimension, full of dead birds. You read it here first.

For Fathers' Day

Dear Santa, or Easter Bunny, or Tooth Fairy, or baby Jesus, or whoever is in charge of Fathers' day (probably Hallmark, or whatever company makes those mugs saying 'World's Best Dad'). (note to pedants, we can't all be 'the best'). Anyway, for Fathers' Day, i don't want a mug, I want a Red-footed Falcon flying round Newtonhill, please. And World peace. But mainly the falcon.
