Funniest were the Japanese who were going to capture five monsters and send one to Princess Anne as a wedding gift. Most outrageous - the petrol bombing of a rival group be Searle.
Sadly this really had sod all to do with the mythology of the area. |
I used to be absolutely fascinated with the idea of the Loch Ness monster. Even today I'd love there to be something conclusive, even if it was far removed from the more fantastical claims. My wife and I took a trip up there not long after we were married, around 1999. It's still one of my most fondly remembered holidays.
