It's That 'Bigfoot In Britain' Time Of The Year!
#1
Ahh, the silly-season begins in the British media by insulting all those who've seen such a creature.


Quote:Hunters scour British countryside in bid to find Bigfoot.
By Charles Wade-Palmer.

A growing band of hunters are regularly scouring the British countryside in a bid to find a real-life Bigfoot.

'They are part of an organisation that reckons a huge “apeman” is at large in the UK.
The British Bigfoot Sightings group has around 2,000 online members and probes claims that people have
encountered mysterious beasts.

BEASTLY: Charles Wade-Palmer on the look out for sightings of Bigfoot.
(Charles is on the right.)

I joined a trek with an intrepid pair of Bigfoot enthusiasts in the South Downs, close to the scene of a number
of recent sightings. Andy McGrath, 42, and Trevor Cornwall, 38, reckon they will one day find Bigfoot.
Andy, from London, said: “I became interested in Nessie as a child and pursued my interest by collecting records
of sightings during my teenage years.

“When I hit 40, I became very intrigued by modern sightings of unknown Nessie-like animals, British Bigfoot,
flying owlmen and out-of-place animals like big cats, crocodiles, bears, scorpions and snakes. They are out there.”

Strolling around Harting Down in West Sussex, our eyes were peeled for a hairy and muscular 8ft-tall creature
with a face described as half- ape and half-man. The hunt was unsuccessful but some spookily placed fallen tree
branches were enough to spark speculation over possible sasquatch activity.

HUNTERS: Charles with Andy McGrath and Trevor Cornwall.

Healthcare worker Andy said: “I have always questioned whether once I found myself face to face with an unknown
creature, would I still want to be? “It is, of course, all very well wanting to prove they exist here in the UK, but what do
you do when you have one standing right in front of you?

“The hunting part of this venture is fairly new to me but I have already travelled the UK in search of all sorts.”
A man claimed that he saw a Bigfoot-like creature while on a train from Exeter to Bristol Temple Meads last year.

The witness said: “We were travelling through an area and in the fields to my right I saw something large in the middle
of the field walking. “It was walking kind of hunched over and all I could tell you was it was a black figure.

“ was watching the way the ‘thing’ was walking, almost towards the side of the field, it was edged right up to the
hedgerow as if to walk alongside the hedge, almost like it was using the hedge for cover.
“To my eye whatever it was seemed to take massive strides.”

The most famous Bigfoot was snapped in northern California in 1967 by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin.
On a mission to the Himalayas in 1951, the British explorer Eric Earle Shipton snapped a photo of a giant foot-print
believed to have been left by a yeti.

In 2014, the photo was bought for almost £4,000.
One UK Bigfoot researcher, Deborah Hatswell, said it was possible a a similar creature could still exist in Britain.
She said: “People who are open- minded about whether such a creature could exist in the vast forests of North
America might think Britain is too built-up, but it’s actually not.
“When you look at the reports of sightings in this country, they tend to follow rivers and forests.

“There have always been folklore stories about wildmen living in the woods in this country –they date back centuries
and those stories have continued."...'

Wow, some painstakingly in-depth research done there by The Star!
They must have spent several minutes pulling that report together?
I may have to renew my subscription, ...or maybe not.

The specific journalist who wrote the piece about BigFoot in the UK has an interesting collection of articles already attributed to him.
He must be very proud - take a bow Charles Wade Palmer;

Quote:Prison boss in desperate plea to lags ‘Please stop stabbing each other’

England warming up for World Cup playing Battle Royale, (computer game) says Harry kane.

Greggs (the bakers) diet let me scoff sausage rolls and drop two sizes.

Gran gives speeders hairdryer treatment.


As it turns out - he's a "seasoned" 23 year old who's most famous moment came when he managed to get a photo of himself at the tender age of 11 on his driving license. What a wheeze.

Not lacking in self belief, in his own LinkedIn profile he describes himself thus:


Quote:"I am an articulate, confident and charismatic multimedia journalist and television presenter experienced in producing quality content for the world's biggest news organisations and regional tv."


oh kaaaay then.
Perhaps we have misunderstood the definition of the terms "articulate" "experienced" and "quality" for all of these years?

Hey, maybe Freddie Starr DID eat that hamster?

Remember CV training at school...? The first part of that quote is a straight-out 101 example:
"I have nothing to offer but my undeveloped 'Brigitte Jones' willingness to work in an office
because my looks will cause p*ss-taking if I take a job on a construction-site"!

Woodward and Bernstein -he is not!
I'd suggest to him that when implying to the reader that he and his fellow 'Bigfoot' hunters are
out in the wilds of West Sussex, sitting on a park bench for photo-ops isn't really good optics.
One could almost think he was was ridiculing the subject.

I'd also offer that Freddie's Starr's hamster would have to be served in a swanky London restaurant
before Charles Wade Palmer would dare a nibble!

I had never heard of the "Daily Star", so I checked it out.
After three minutes and the impending danger of cerebral hemorrhage I closed the web page. If I worked for such a "thing" I would never tell anyone NEVER

It falls within the realms The Sun newspaper. If it had been the seventies, there'd have been a
young lady on Page 7 looking coyly at the camera with her norks hanging out.
tinysurprised

Such newspapers were ideal for rolling-up and sticking out of a workman's jeans back-pocket
and read in the bait-cabin of a construction site. It was superb for perusing during the contemplation
time of sitting on the portable chemical toilets or 'Thunder-Bins' as they used to be called.

As far as The Daily Star's editorial integrity is concerned, they've progressed enough that the topless
models are out of work but they're still in the area of labelling the Police as 'Cops' in their articles.
tinywondering

However, The Sun still holds the title of the most obtuse newspaper in Britain.
In 1982, Argentine forces launched the invasion of the Falkland Islands and to boost Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher's waning dominance, the mainstream media went full-throttle to wave the patriotic
flag against a newly-found enemy.

All the newspapers announced headlines like 'Argee-Bargee With Our Islands' or 'Our Boys Will Sort it'
The morning that all the MSM were setting the narrative that would imply the good-old Tommies of
Britain would be running towards the enemy whilst dodging the confused penguins, The Sun's headline
proclaimed:
'David Essex Made Love To Me When I was Fourteen Tells Sinitta.'!!

They'd missed the war!
