So, Dowsing, water divining. That's another interesting one, I should have included that on the list.

Some old country boys swear by it for finding springs in fields, or lost drains or pipes.

All he has to do is keep his head down and do nothing controversial, be less mental than Liz truss and less corrupt than Boris Johnson. Suppose we just need to wait till he goes proper fruit loop then ( I say from a position of despair, all Labour need is a leader with some charisma - any charisma).

Broadly speaking, I think he’s doing ok, he’ll get smashed in the next election, but if he can retain leadership of the Conservatives he could regain government in less challenging times and do a decent job.

Mick, back on to Big Cat conspiracies!

There was a howling noise from the woods for a couple of nights, then it seemed to disappear without trace.

There is no conspiracy about water divining. I’ve found many a pipe and land drain with them, the last one I marked on the floor before the cat and genie arrived, I was under a ft out and would of found it with digger in the same hole.

Good to hear this. It was never a conspiracy theory in my book, always been fascinated by the idea, and would like to believe it but can't quite entirely as I've not had personal experience.

 

Any ideas on how it works?

Cat.

I'd say domestic cat in that clip, no question, but I also totally believe in the presence of larger-than-domestic cats being out there; there are too many reported sightings for me to doubt it yet none apparently of 'big dogs', i.e. wolves

[Mesterh]

I'm sure I've seen that clip before and that some people were suggesting that it was a monkey.
