1. In 1845, Capatin Sir John Franklin set off on a voyage of artic exploration. After becoming ice-bound in the Canadian arctic, he and the entire compliment of 128 men were lost, despite resorting to cannibalism.
2. In 1925, Percy Fawcett, artillery officer and South American explorer, set off into the Brazilian jungle in search of a legendary lost city. The last communcations were from him and his team at the end of May. They all vanished.
3. In May 2013, a charm offensive in the form of two TLOGS and Capt Kidneystones set forth to enquire at a local pub if we were required to play at their beer festival - as we have done so enjoyably for the last couple of years. We were given an enigmatic "Oooh, we like to ring the changes..." We had another pint or two while waiting for the courtesy of a definite 'yes' or 'no', and then realising that we were not to be afforded such a thing, decided to leave. Ho hum.
