Pardus 1,611 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 It needs to be said, they are all sightings of black panthers because that's a common colour of a moggy, nothing more, nothing less. Take this footage for instance, damp patch tried claiming this was leopard, anyone with an ounce of knowledge can see it's just an house cat, it's funny how the mind plays tricks, if you believe you see.

Franks dad 2,057 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I get both sides … and watch not much else apart from wildlife programs ….. thriving though is just taking the piss out of people …. ……I’ve sat next to my cousin who saw a lane a grey tall large object jump out of a hedge stand in front of our car and jump to the other hedge …. I saw nought … he had no reason to lie and was adamant what he’d just seen and still is to this day 30 years later … it’s a conundrum… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why would I drive all that way when I believe it's a load of hogwash? And you're right, best to not get in a slagging match with you, don't want me getting banned do you?

You're a good contributor at times imo. But sometimes you are obsessive mate. I know people who play with model trains,enjoy war games,do jigsaws and, seriously, collect bricks. Men are geeks. Live and let live. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, I'm really not, get your head out of his arse and go and read the comments. I was talking with Frank and you'll see the obsessive one piping up with the wise cracks. Would you prefer it if the thread was relabeled Greyman's UK Big Cats? Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Seriously, this isn't his thread, if he can't handle being questioned than maybe he should refrain from replying, not everyone will just nod and agree.
