Now look... I don't want you panicking over this, just remain calm and let the Police look after your feelz.
This sort of thing happens from time-to-time and we just have to trust the media and get through it together.
We can do this, just breath steadily and know that other terrifying things happen around the world that are
sometimes... just sometimes, worse.
I suppose we can only give thanks to the poor victim of this incident that she had the wherewithal to obtain
a picture of the culprit and discuss her terrible ordeal with multiple media outlets.
That's the same news companies that ask the important questions below, the same on-the-ground-reporters
who know that up-to-date information is paramount.
Forget about the coronavirus virus and the Iowa debacle, this recycled tale is far more important.
Quote:Hunt goes on for latex-clad gimp that terrorised villagers - what we know so far.
The gimp has apparently laid low since his last sighting in July last year.
What kind of monster would behave this way?
'The identity of a latex-clad gimp who sparked fear among residents it terrorised in a quiet Somerset village
remains unknown. There were a number of reports of a person dressed head-to-toe in rubber approaching a
number of people at night over the course of several months.
The last reported incident was in July 2019, when a person in a black latex bodysuit and mask touching his groin
reportedly approached a young woman on the streets.
Abi Conroy, 23, claimed she was confronted by the man wearing fetish gear - who she said was 'grunting and
breathing heavily', reports Somerset Live.
A map showing where the horrific incidents occurred and Abi Conroy and her wife, Pip, 22, who now feel
paranoid about going out at night. Just two average lesbians with average lives.
How many incidents have been reported and what has happened?
Police revealed there were 14 incidents reported where people were approached by a man in disguises since
November 2018 - one of which was a black bodysuit. Abi Conroy's wife Pip told the Daily Mail that the issue
had been ongoing for years.
When Pip reported the incident to police, an officer referred to the suspect as 'Gimp Man'.
Pip said: "He said it's been an ongoing issue for the past four years and that it's normally animals involved, or he'd
let himself into people's gardens and has been seen humping their grass or breathing on their window sills, strange
things like that."
How did people react?
Residents of the village spoke out about being scared to walk home alone with the gimp on the loose, and various
stories emerged about freakish encounters.
Speaking to the BBC, Abi said: "He kept coming towards me and was touching his groin, grunting and breathing heavy.
"As I tried to take a step back he was right in front of my face and he put his leg forward.
"I was just trying to assess the situation in my head quickly. "Everything was running through my head.
"I thought: 'This is it, I'm going to get attacked'. "Every time I close my eyes I just see that face."
Bristol Live described the victim as "panicked" by her ordeal, which took place in a dark lane.
"It's not just a man jumping out at me going boo," she said, "every time I close my eyes I just see that face."
MMA enthusiast claimed to beat up gimp
Other residents appeared less fearful, with one MMA enthusiast claiming to have beaten up a man believed to be the
same culprit. Cameron Graham said he 'kicked him in the face' when he spotted the man lying on the floor of a car park
on his way home from the pub.
He said: “I was just walking along and there was this bloke lying on the ground in a car park next to a field.
“He was wearing a full gimp suit - latex and everything. “He tried to get up but I was having none of it.
“I kicked him in the face and then to the stomach and got off."
Cameron said he told several people about the incident, but was repeatedly met with disbelief.
Has anybody been arrested?
Avon and Somerset Police have investigated reports and following the most recent sighting in July, a search was launched
involving helicopters and sniffer dogs. This led to the arrest of two men on suspicion of indecency offences - both of whom
were subsequently released without charge.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said in November: “Detectives carried out a thorough investigation into a series
of incidents in which a man wearing disguises approached people in the Claverham/Yatton area.
“Two men, aged 28 and 34, were arrested on suspicion of indecency offences but due to insufficient evidence were later
released with no further action taken against them.
“Thankfully, we’ve not received any more reports of similar incidents since the most recent report of a man wearing a black
body suit approaching a woman on July 11.".
What is the current situation?
Police have confirmed they have not yet identified the offender.
No further arrests have been made since two men were released without charge in November last year.
While no similar incidents have been reported since last summer, Claverham residents are likely to feel safer on the streets
when they know the 'Gimp Man' is no longer on the loose...'
But you can never have enough helicopters , sniffer dogs and different news outlets to report to when this sort of thing goes on.
This isn't fake news made up from a collection of items and is really to display the LGBTQ+ community as victimised normal folk...
no don't think that.
Let's just hope the hunt is successful and can be reported everywhere.
lets see he was latex clad and "Speaking to the BBC, Abi said: "He kept coming towards me and was touching his groin, grunting and breathing heavy." I think the poor guy needed a pee and could not find the zipper

Oh my word... are you doubting the conviction of the article...? (or the incompetent writing and the
misspelling I had to fix?!!) Wallfire, if the BBC is mentioned, then it must be true.
And which male hasn't been in a similar situation where nature calls and only an empowered lesbian can
alleviate the uncomfortable problem? Why, I could count on both rubber-gloved hands how many instances
have come along that caused me to walk the streets breathing heavily with a polythene bag over my head.
Let he without sin cast the first stone... Ouch, steady on!

I believe Abi needs to get a divorce, and marry another husband/wife/whatever who will be butch enough to defend her honor from the occasional groin-grabbin' latex-clad interloper. Clearly the creature s/he is currently married to does not value the relationship enough! One good throat punch should do the trick - the "MMA enthusiast" did it wrong by kicking him in the face - the throat is the go-to target in situations like this! A face strike, while somewhat painful, does not deliver the same deterrent effect as a sudden inability to breathe would...
... just me, thinking out loud, using my professional opinion as a husband.

Abi the dike the victim in this terrible ordeal managed to elaborate further to The Daily Mail and
even provides a photo of her and her husband's wedding day.
I don't know if the picture is relevant to the incident, but it may be that the rubber-wrapped stranger
could be in the crowd? She and her should've listened for any grunting coming from the congregation.
Quote:My terror at coming face to face with the gimp prowler: As police arrest second suspect, victim reveals how she took this picture during late-night encounter before grunting man ran away.

It seems the 'eraser-of-the-night' doesn't just set himself to scare lesbians from the shadows of a privot,
animals are at risk too. But I'm struggling to understand what 'acting suggestively' truly means.
Quote:'...Locals have reported seeing him engaging in inappropriate behaviour with animals and acting suggestively.
He has jumped out on some victims and appeared at windows in the middle of the night.
Pip reported the incident to police and had a quick response from an officer who said: 'Oh, I think we're going to
get Gimp Man tonight.'
Quote:'...She added: 'He said it's been an ongoing issue for the past four years and that it's normally animals involved
or he'd let himself into people's gardens and has been seen humping their grass or breathing on their window
sills, strange things like that...'
I think the there's a clue in this statement. It might pay the local constabulary to check the phone book for
Lawn Management companies in the area and possibly window-cleaners.

There are no words... although I'm a bit dubious on the 'A-Scot-called-Jimmy-Scott' moniker!
Thankfully, no dick-pics.
Quote:Brit dad’s agony as permanent erection stops him seeing daughter as he can’t put trousers on.
Glasgow dad James Scott described himself as a prisoner in his own home as he can't get rid of his stiff erection.
'A Scots dad has been left in painful agony after an operation to fix his damaged penis instead gave him a permanent
erection. James Scott, 57, suffered serious injuries to his pelvis after 1.5 tonnes of glass fell on him at work four years ago.
The former glazier suffered four injuries to his groin, fractured a bone at the bottom of his spine, had lacerations on both
legs and a blocked urethra - the tube in the penis that men pee through.
The dad of one underwent an operation to repair his penis problem two years ago. But, this left him with further
complications and unable to get an erection. But an operation to fix that has now left him with a permanent
erection.
Now, he says he is a prisoner in his own home as he can’t put trousers on and is in constant pain.
He also can’t have his nine-year-old daughter round to visit as he can’t get rid of his stiff penis.
But he claims doctors have refused to visit his home to sort out the painful problem.
James, from Balornock, in Glasgow, said: “After the operation, I wasn’t able to get an erection, so I had another op.
They inserted metal rods into my penis.
"I was told it would be sore for about six to eight weeks after but I never expected anything like this.
“I’ve now got a permanent erection and I’m in agony. “I can’t bear anything to touch it. I can’t even wear clothes.
It’s a nightmare.”
James claimed he was told by staff at the surgery that his GP was off on holiday and there wasn’t another male
doctor available to send out. He added: “Surely male and female doctors assess patients of the opposite sex daily.”
A spokesman for Tollcross Medical Centre said: “Maintaining patient confidentiality is extremely important and it makes
commenting on individual cases extremely difficult. “In general terms, severe post-operative complications are most
appropriately managed by the specialists in hospital and the safest option is for hospital assessment.”
An NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde spokesman said: “We would advise anyone who experiences adverse symptoms
after an operation to call NHS24, who can recommend the most appropriate course of action.”...'

It's nice to see fathers help their daughters find a career.
Quote:Steven Spielberg's daughter launches adult entertainment career, says dad supports her sex worker ambitions.
'Steven Spielberg's daughter says she has self-produced adult entertainment videos and is an aspiring sex worker
in a new tell-all interview. Mikaela Spielberg, one of the famed director's seven children, has begun self-producing
solo adult film videos at the age of 23, she told The Sun.
Director Steven Spielberg poses with his daughter, Mikaela (left), actress/director Drew Barrymore and
daughter Sasha (right) at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Whip It' at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in 2009.
Spielberg's daughter, who lives in Nashville, Tenn., has already submitted an application to become a sex worker
—and the self-proclaimed "sexual creature" shared in the revealing interview that her famous father is supportive
of her endeavors.
According to the aspiring star, the "Schindler's List" director and his wife, Kate Capshaw, were "intrigued" when she
shared the news with them of her new porn gig over the weekend. She added that her parents were "not upset" by
her revelation.
The 23-year-old added that producing solo porn has made her feel satisfied after having battled years of mental health
issues and alcoholism...'
No sh*t, Sherlock!
Quote:'..."I got really tired of not being able to capitalize on my body and frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body,"
Mikaela told the outlet.
She continued: "And I also just got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn't satisfying to my soul. I feel like doing
this kind of work, I'm able to 'satisfy' other people, but that feels good because it's not in a way that makes me feel violated."
The 73-year-old director's daughter opened up about past abuse by "predators" during her early years by "outsiders" who
had no relation to the "Jaws" filmmaker. She's also been open about her borderline personality disorder.
Mikaela first announced her solo porn career on her social media accounts, declaring that her new gig is "safe" and
"consensual." She said her goal is to earn enough money from the opportunity that she won't need to rely on her father's
funds.
"I can't stay dependent on my parents or even the state for that matter – not that there's anything wrong with that – it just
doesn't feel comfortable for me," Mikaela said...'

This article is a bit confusing due to political correctness, but it's about a female who wanted a penis grafted
onto herself, but her own bits to remain intact. Apparently, strap-ons aren't trendy anymore.
Quote:Doctor suspended for removing transgender man's vagina without his consent.
The patient was left "distraught" after the irreversible gender reassignment surgery, while a
second doctor altered a consent form to say he'd agreed to the procedure.
'A Harley Street doctor has been suspended after he removed a transgender man's vagina without his consent.
Renowned penis consultant Dr Giulio Garaffa mistakenly carried out the irreversible gender reassignment surgery
on the man known as Patient A, despite him repeatedly saying he did not want his vagina removed.
'Prankster' Dr Giulio Garaffa.
A disciplinary hearing was told that Dr Garaffa performed the surgery for Harley Street-based St Peter's Andrology
Centre (SPA) at Highgate Private Hospital in October 2016. Patient A had agreed to have a hysterectomy and a
metoidioplasty, which would have given him a penis, but had refused a vaginectomy which removes all or part of
the vagina.
But Dr Garaffa performed the vaginectomy anyway.
His colleague Dr Marco Capece then "in a moment of panic... dishonestly" altered a consent form to say that Patient
A had agreed to the surgery, adding the words "+vaginectomy" to give the impression it had been planned from the
start.
The tribunal heard Patient A, who began a formal gender transition in around 2013, only discovered his vagina was
gone a week after the operation. He was left "distraught" by the realisation.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service heard that the "unwanted surgery" has had a "profound impact in all aspects
of his life including his mental well-being". He has since undergone hormone therapy and reconstructive chest surgery.
Dr Garaffa is well-known in Europe for specialising in penis enlargement and reconstruction surgery. The tribunal heard
that he is one of only two doctors in the world capable of performing specific procedures. He was criticised by the panel
for failing to confirm that the patient had consented to the vaginectomy.
Speaking at the tribunal, MPTS Chair Tim Bradbury said: "He relinquished his responsibility as the operating surgeon to
ensure that his patient had consented to the operation he intended to perform. "His failures were serious and numerous...
The consequences of these failures were grave, Patient A underwent life changing and irreversible surgery which [they]
did not want.
"Fundamentally and self-evidently, Mr Garaffa should have reviewed Patient A's medical notes before commencing surgery."
Mr Bradbury said Dr Capece maintained a "false narrative" by not admitting his own wrongdoing and insisting that he had
not altering the consent form.
Dr Garaffa was found guilty of four charges of misconduct and was given a five month suspension.
Dr Capece was found guilty of three misconduct charges and was suspended for 12 months...'
"The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service heard that the "unwanted surgery" has had a "profound impact in all aspects of his life including his mental well-being". He has since undergone hormone therapy and reconstructive chest surgery..."
Considering the alleged damage of she/he/its mental well-being, she/he/it bounced back quite well!

expensive drinks and offering empty compliments about her shoes.

you perform the love-making act.
Evaluate the problems of finding that shoe under the bed and with an armful of clothes, ringing for a
taxi before telling that half-asleep girl that you'll call her later... honest I will.
WOMEN.
Contemplate the notion that you'll no longer have to endure the bullshit given by males as they attempt
to persuade that their Lamborghini is still in the mechanics and he actually owns the house and it's just
that his parents are visiting that particular weekend.
(So keep your voice down.)
Excogitate on the fact that the snoring, farting and the laying in the damp-patch will be just a faint memory.
That terrible twenty-minute stench he creates after using the lavatory will be no more, the damaged headboard,
the crumb-filled beard, the two minutes of grunting-coitus that solely benefits him and distorts into an hour of
rampant sex when boasted to his male peers.
All gone.
Now, one can pleasure oneself. With a simple tucking manoeuvre, such carnal enjoyment can take place whenever
and wherever the need arises. Now one can feel confident that the duel task in the toilet -of leaving piss in the seat
AND spraying the stuff on the floor and walls, can be accomplished at the same time. Thrush, Vaginal rash, Yeast

Meanwhile, the oppression of piano teachers continues.
We've all heard of her and how many of us hasn't tinkled on their ivories and pondered Fanny?
Oh... and apparently some people are dying of a disease that keeps you indoors.
Quote:Dame Fanny Waterman: Piano legend 'hurt' over being asked to retire.
'The legendary piano teacher Dame Fanny Waterman says she was "hurt" to be asked to retire from the
world-renowned Leeds International Piano Competition. She founded and ran the competition for more
than half a century and stepped down five years ago, aged 95.
At the time, she said: "I feel ready... to hand over the reins."
But she has now told the BBC that she had not wanted to step aside and has criticised the Leeds' decision,
calling it "misguided". "I didn't think it was the right time," she said. "I wanted to be there forever.
(Inset) A young Fanny.
(Bottom) Dame Fanny Waterman with celebrated pianists Eric Lu (left) and Lang Lang.
(But they weren't delivering Covid-19.)
"But I think the powers that be locally would say, 'I think we ought to have a change'. I remember that kind of
wording. 'I think you've been in this job long enough.'" When asked who told her to go, Dame Fanny said:
"Well, I think there was a general feeling that that was my age and that perhaps they can get someone who's
even better than me.
"I think they were misguided. Because I had many, many years more to give of my own passion, my own knowledge
and everything."
Inspirational teacher
As a child growing up in Leeds, Dame Fanny was a talented pianist herself. In 1941, she won a scholarship to the
Royal College of Music in London and went on to perform at the Proms. But she turned her back on the concert platform
to teach. Dubbed Field Marshal Fanny, she instructed and inspired generations of pupils.
She also co-devised a series of teaching books, Me and My Piano. With more than two million copies sold, they have
never been out of print. Unable to sleep during a hot summer's night almost 60 years ago, she came up with the idea of
launching an international piano competition in Leeds.
Many of the world's greatest pianists, including Murray Perahia and Radu Lupu made their names in the competition that
she nurtured and ran for decades. And then came the announcement she would retire as artistic director, chief fundraiser,
chair of the board and chair of the jury after the competition in 2015.
Her many roles were taken on by four individuals and the organisers say the competition continues to evolve as the musical
world changes.
Birthday celebration
So in 2018, for example, preliminary rounds were held in Berlin, New York and Singapore for the first time. And the whole
competition was streamed online. Dame Fanny said she "has tried not to be bitter" about what happened "because I've felt
that by saying anything, whoever succeeded me would think, 'Ooh, that was sour grapes'. I wanted the whole thing to be correct.
"I had my doubts, not about myself, but how well this could continue as I had started it."
The Leeds International Piano Competition is planning a special day of events to mark Dame Fanny Waterman's 100th birthday
on 20 March. In a statement it said "it celebrates and cherishes Dame Fanny's exceptional contribution to the musical life of this
country.
"She will always be identified with The Leeds (competition), which she built into one of the most respected and influential
international music competitions. "Her indelible impact over more than half a century guarantees her position as one of the
great figures of the music world.
"As President Emeritus of The Leeds, her continuing involvement is deeply valued and encouraged, and we hope she long
remains a guiding spirit." The next competition event, the 20th, will be held in Leeds in 2021.
"I do hope and pray that in another 100 years our competition will have the reputation it's got now," said Dame Fanny...'

With the eternal news-cycle being about the global flu, we really need different, uplifting information right now and
thankfully, the BBC provides it.
Using their renown skills, the Journalists at the publicly-funded broadcasting corporation have combined a tale of

Quote:Terminally ill woman dedicates life to hedgehogs.
'A woman with terminal cancer has said she is going to dedicate the rest of her life to looking after hedgehogs.
Sue Bonnington, 58, runs a "hedgehog hospital" from her home in Glen Parva, Leicestershire.
The former cancer nurse was herself diagnosed with the illness while training to run the London Marathon in 2017.
Sue and her prickly friends.
She said the animals are in "serious danger" of extinction and caring for them makes her happy.
A "state of Britain's hedgehogs" report, published in 2018, revealed a 30% drop in the number of hedgehogs in
urban areas since 2000. Experts say the animals are struggling with lost habitats, increased competition and traffic.
Ms Bonnington became "fascinated" with hedgehogs when she started volunteering at the Leicestershire Wildlife
Hospital in 2016. After being diagnosed with cancer, she started helping them at her home.
Her patients are brought to her by members of the public and some even go directly to her for help.
"I have lots of poorly hedgehogs walk up from the back gate and collapse at my back door," she said.
In 2017 a tumour was discovered in Ms Bonnington's pelvis. Since then it has spread to her liver and in May she
was told her condition was terminal. "I'm going to dedicate any time I have left to live to looking after these
hedgehogs," she said. "It makes me happy. When I get up in the morning I know I have to look after them."
Ms Bonnington rescued more than 40 hedgehogs in 2019.
She hopes an online fundraising campaign and donations from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service will allow
her to buy a large incubator to look after more of the animals and pay vet bills...'

Quote:'There's £300m of gold buried underground in Scotland within a 10-mile belt'
'Prospectors believe there is £300million of gold hidden underground in Scotland.
Tests suggest the precious metal could be buried in a 10-mile belt near a site previously drilled for gold in
Wester Ross in the north-west Highlands. Experts think the discovery of a record single 22-carat nugget in
a river last May could point to massive amounts of gold nearby.
Traces of gold, copper and zinc were found there before it was abandoned
when precious metal prices crashed in the 1980s.
London-based GreenOre revealed rock samples around the so-called Kerry Road deposit showed there
could be a “far bigger” seam deeper underground. They said it could be of “economic interest” and have
launched a £600,000 crowdfunder – which expires tomorrow – to start drilling at the site.
Traces of gold, copper and zinc were found there before it was abandoned when precious metal prices
crashed in the 1980s. It is part of the Gairloch Schist Belt, which runs 10 miles north to south.
GreenOre managing director Gavin Berkenheger said: “This deposit is now of economic interest and the
surrounding area ripe for further discoveries.” He said research showed gold-rich boulders could be buried
under 40 metres of sandstone at the site.
The geologist added that “the gold system is far bigger than just the Kerry Road Deposit”.
