Most Haunted

[Mince]

Loch Ness Monster is a load of tosh! I think I met the woman in question who tarq's reckons has seen 'it'..... mmmm! Tosh. She's popped too many pain killers if you ask me.... or was the wacky backy I recall she liberally was known to take to numb the pain - senses more like!

There's nothing like a woman to destroy credibility.

As we've discussed all this before, I was reluctant to go over old ground but.....
There are/have been animals in Loch Ness which should not be there. They were first reported in the 5th century when---I'm pretty sure---tourism was not an influencing factor. To say, simply, that "The Monster" doesn't exist is to say that over 3,000 witnesses---including doctors, lawyers, monks, M.P.s, policemen, gamekeepers and fishermen who have lived there all their lives---are either liars or mistaken. As G.K. Chesterton once said, " Many people have been hung on less evidence than there is for the "Loch Ness Monster".

A lot of people used to think the world was flat. They were wrong.

A lot of people still think that time is constant, and would scoff at the idea that time is slowed down by something like gravity. They also are wrong.

But I am sure they also believed they were not mistaken concerning the evidence with which they arrive at their conclusion.

The sheer number of sightings that have occurred without any of them producing incontrovertible proof of Nessie's existence to me indicates that something else is causing these sightings.

I thought you were going to correct Roger's "hung".

Why? Did he mean "hug"? That makes no sense.

Science proved them wrong. As it will the cynics who seek to brand those with open minds as cranks, drunks and ne'er-do-wells.

You'll be telling me next there is no God.

It should have been "hanged".  :

I was quoting G.K. Chesterton. It was him what said it.

I realised that, Roger, but I was trying to be pedantic before Mince had a chance.
