Parish Notices

Thanks to Robin Whittaker, Rom, Jane Affleck, Richard Alexander, Terry Hanstock, Chris Tame, David Turner and Peter Watson for information.

Thanks in particular to the mysterious and anonymous visitor, ‘Luca’, who knocked on my door one day, stayed about ten minutes and gave me £1000. Being given such a sum by someone who declined to tell me who he was raised some interesting questions. Was the money ‘dirty’? Was I being set-up in some way? I couldn’t answer either question so I just said ‘Thanks very much’ and put it in Lobster’s account. If ‘Luca’ is reading this, thus far I have bought a £40 second-hand office chair and given £200 to a Lobster contributor, even more impecunious than I am, with which to buy a better computer. The rest will keep Lobster afloat for a while and has postponed the day I have to put the price up. Lobster is no longer quite breaking even, chiefly due to increased postal charges.

This issue has been prepared during the aftermath of the 9:11 event and it has been difficult at times not to become absorbed in the information torrent on the Internet which that event has generated. It has been fascinating watching the American conspiracy buffs going to work on the subject and I have saved large amounts of that torrent with the idea that I will one day write something on the subject. But other than some references in Jane Affleck’s Web guide, there is nothing in this issue about WTC, Bin-Laden and so forth. Lobster’s normal agenda continues.
