the inevitable links page

8th March 2006
We've added a new feature, Taking a Plank For A Walk.

You will, by now, most likely have read of the alleged crop circle painting from 1913, since the story has been doing the rounds since the start of the year.  If you're not familiar with it, click here to get the details.  Andreas Muller's analysis is also worth a read (scroll down in that link for English translation).  We have to say, though, that the whole thing sounds like bobbins to us.

We've also added and amended links.

We've added a new feature, Stunted Crop At Garsington.


10th August 2005
In our latest circular rovings, we've noticed the imminent harvest.  Can another season be over already?  Is it sad that we measure our lives with crop circles?  Mayhap preferable to coffee-spoons.  No doubt there'll still be another few formations, in the coming weeks; for us, though, we're saddened that what some people are already considering a season finale is a rehash of what was considered last year's season finale.  Check the usual sites for updates on the last few circles.  We won't list them again here, since we listed them all a few updates down.


13th July 2005
We have to admit that we're disappointed that nobody responded to our request (posted on this site on our News page on 8th March 2004) for photographs, taken either from Stonehenge or from the roadside, of the July 1996 Julia Set formation.  Here's why.


9th July 2005
We've given the site a bit of a spruce-up, partly because we're aware of the fact that we've not updated for almost a year and therefore want to remind readers that we're still here, and partly in anticipation of some new articles.  We'll announce them as and when they're ready.  Yes, we know we said that last time...

In other circles-related news, we think it's been a pretty good season so far.  Some good formations, some rubbish ones; business as usual, in other words.  For details of the latest formations, check the database sites; Crop Circle Research, Crop Circle Connector etc.

While we're on the subject, there's a a new 'latest formations' site, which we think is good and worth a mention here; http://www.ukcropcircles.co.uk.  Have a look.

21st August 2004
A note of acknowledgement and of gratitude to those amongst you who ask 'When is is the site going to be updated?'  Be patient.  It will happen.  We have a number of articles in the works, but we won't put them online til they're ready.  Which means when we're happy with them, and when they've been through our various discernment-filters.

We've been too busy thinking 'hmmm...' at what's going on in the fields. 

Bear with us.  It's on its way.  You know it'll be worth it.

5th May 2004
After a month of wondering 'well, where are they,then?', the first formation reports of 2004 are starting to dribble in; a single c.20' circle at North Canning Down, Wiltshire, and a rather more complex design at Pegsdon, Hertfordshire (exact configuration unknown), both in oilseed rape.   Hurrah for that; here's to another four months of sleepless nights and muddy boots...

6th April 2004
We've just joined Paul Vigay's Crop Circle Webring, hence the graphic on our index page.  Rather serendipitously, we're site 93 in the ring, which should bring a smile to the faces of any Thelemite croppies out there (are there any Thelemite croppies out there?  Does such a breed exist?).

5th January 2004
A new feature has been added, Crop Circles: Evidence Of Shoddy Research, wherein Poppy Amersham takes Nicholas Montigiani's Crop Circles: Evidence Of A Cover-Up outside, and gives it a thorough kicking.

24th October 2003
We've added two new items; Hold On A Minute... and Some Things We Hate About Cerealogy.

3rd September 2003
The belatedness of this next item can, we think, be excused by two factors: it's sincerity, and the fact that we've only been online a matter of weeks.

We were very saddened to learn a few months back that, due to ill-health, John Sayer has decided to cease publication of The Cereologist.  Together with SC, The Cereologist was always our favourite circles-related publication, and we know we'll miss it.  John will continue to run the magazine as a  website, however, at http://www.sayer.abel.co.uk.  Have a look; he's already put some new articles on there.  Many thanks, John, for all the years of stimulating reading; we wish you well in the future.

Tuesday 19th August 2003
We've gone through the site with a fine-tooth stomper and corrected any errors we've noticed (it's startling how different sites can look on your computer at home when they're your baby, compared to how they look when you unleash them online).  Which makes this update a bit of a non-update, to anybody who didn't notice said errors in the first place.  Whatever.  As you were.
