Weāll just have to refer to their sunburnt armpits from now on I suppose.
Sky news are going to be loving this. Cue Lion related puns.
FIREARMS officers and police helicopters have joined the hunt for a lion that is thought to be roaming loose in Essex.
Residents were told to stay indoors as search teams worked throughout the night to track down the large cat, which was spotted in a field by a member of the public last night.
Essex Police have enlisted the help of experts from Colchester Zoo who believe the sighting to be genuine after viewing a photograph of the animal taken by a local.
Two police helicopters using heat-seeking equipment have been involved in the hunt for the animal, while zoo workers said to be armed with tranquilliser guns have also joined armed officers.
The big cat was seen in fields off Earls Hall Drive in St Osyth, near Clacton, Essex, just before 7pm yesterday.
Police immediately issued a warning to residents to stay inside their homes as officers began a search near where the animal was spotted.
Che Kevlin said he heard what he believed to be a roar whilst out walking his dog last night.
āI heard a loud roar at 10pm. It sounded like a lion,ā he told the BBC.
"It was worrying as we had just been for a walk with the dog. We saw the police helicopter but thought it was just searching for a person.
āIt sounded like the roar of a lion. We have a field and wood just behind our fence, so you never know.ā
Police are trying to establish where the lion may have come from and have urged anyone who sees it to call 999.
A force spokeswoman confirmed the animal had not escaped from Colchester Zoo, as all its animals had been accounted for
There have been rumours that the big cat may have escaped from a circus that had been performing in the Essex area, but they are yet to be substantiated.
The Great British Circus was based at Clacton Airfield but its run in the area ended around a fortnight ago, according to a local events website.
The police spokeswoman added: āWe are investigating where the lion may have came from but it is fairly safe to say that it did not escape from Colchester Zoo.ā
Pub landlord Dave Sparks, who runs the Red Lion pub in St Osyth, described the police hunt as āsurrealā.
He told ITV News: "You donāt really expect to be told thereās a lion wandering around the area.
āNo one really felt there was any immediate danger in the village - a couple of families with young children were a bit worried but after a while they were ok.ā
A Essex Police spokeswoman said that officers would be returning to areas where the animal had been spotted during daylight hours to look for signs it had been there, such as pawprints.
Man (28) charged over egg throwing
TOM TUITE
A 28-YEAR-OLD unemployed man has been charged with criminal damage following an egg attack on TĆ”naiste Eamon Gilmoreās BMW ministerial car in Dublin yesterday.
Following his arrest, Daniel Kelly was brought before Judge Patricia McNamara at Dublin District Court. Mr Kelly, who lives at Haroldās Cross Road, Dublin 6, was accused of criminal damage to the ministerial car, property of An Garda SĆochĆ”naās transport section, and he also faces a breach of the peace charge.
During the hearing Judge McNamara was told less than ā¬200 worth of damage was believed to have been caused to the car.
The DPP instructed the case should be dealt with in the District Court but Judge McNamara deferred ruling on where the case should be heard until the exact value of the damage was known.
Defence solicitor Maura Kiely said Mr Kelly was agreeable to obeying a bail condition āto stay away from public events where Government Ministers are in attendanceā. Legal aid was granted and Mr Kelly was remanded on bail in his own bond of ā¬300 to appear again on October 26th next.
- Who would have thought that a mere egg could have done so much damage, will the BMW have to be resprayed after this outrage?
The BMW had a damaged ego.
A bizarre story where itās purported that Pat Spillaneās daughter describes a terrifying ordeal only to discover on reading the article that in fact she doesnāt describe anything or indeed talk about or refer to the matter in any shape or form. Well done the Indo on this amazing story.

[/quote]Just for the sake of clarity I have posted a picture of the poor distressed girl.
:licklips:
āEspecially with what happened to Jill Meagher in Australia, Iām more aware that I have to be careful,ā she said.
That is a fucking bizarre reference to make for a girl working as a āhostessā living nearly 11,000 miles from where the Jill Meagher tragedy occured. Sheās pretty hot though in fairness so I can see why the Indo would want to make up a story to get her picture into their paper.
Iāve heard a few girls say as much to be honest in recent weeks. A lot of women, foolish or not, would do exactly what JIll Meaghar done on any given night out in Dublin thinking āit will never happen to meā. Its been a bit of a wake up call no matter how you want to look at it, and if it puts a few more girls on their guard on nights out to save them from freaks that the cunt who murdered and raped Jill Meaghar, then thats no bad thing I guess.
I had this growing out the back. Cops are after taking it off me. It made the RTE news!
An elderly couple have unwittingly grown the biggest cannabis plant police say they have ever seen.
An elderly couple have unwittingly grown the biggest cannabis plant police say they have ever seen.
The pensioners, from Bedford in England, innocently bought a shrub from a car boot sale and planted it in their garden, unaware that what they were growing was illegal.
Police were astonished when they spotted the enormous plant.
Speaking of the discovery on Twitter, they said: āSeized today. Elderly couple bought shrub at car boot sale, tended carefully - biggest cannabis plant we had seen.ā
It is believed that police will dispose of the plant and no action will be taken against the couple.
Iām watching bbc world news here and theres a bit on about some dippy āenvironmental artistā bird who has laid out massive rolls of blank music sheet in a park in Liverpool in order to catch birdshit with it and turn it into a concert. Wants people to look up at the sky and notice the birds and believes that the birdshit symphony will make people appreciate the birds a bit more.
Weirdo.
This is beyond weird, its fuckin sick.

Pakistani couple kill daughter who talked to a boy
Reuters ā Thu, Nov 1, 2012
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A Pakistani couple killed their teenage daughter by pouring acid on her face and body after they caught her talking to a boy, police and a doctor said on Thursday.
The parents of the 16-year-old confessed to police in Kotli, a town in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, that they attacked their daughter after she had spoke to the boy outside their house, said Mohammad Jahangir, a local doctor at the hospital where she was brought.
āThere were third-degree burns on her scalp, face, eyes, nostrils, both arms, chest foot and lower part of legs. Even her scalp bone was exposed,ā he said, adding that the mother initially told the hospital their daughter tried to commit suicide. Police have arrested the parents.
Almost 1,000 women lost their lives last year in so-called āhonor killingsā in the conservative South Asian nation, according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. Activists say the actual number is much higher as most cases go unreported.

Just saw the mother and father being interviewed. Apparently the young wan only looked at the young lad, didnt even talk to him.
Father beat her, mother poured the acid.
Mother said it was her destiny to die that way.
Fucking hell.
KOLKATA, India (AP) - Indian authorities investigating a rape case say a sprinter who won a womenās relay gold medal at the 2006 Asian Games is actually a man.
Police charged Pinki Pramanik on Monday with raping and assaulting a woman she was living with in the eastern state of West Bengal. The woman alleged Pramanik was a man who had reneged on a promise to marry her.
Indian authorities said an eight-member medical board submitted a gender test along with the charge sheet that concluded Pramanik was genetically male.
Pramanik has denied the charges, calling them a "huge conspiracy,āā and said that contrary to the police claims, the medical report concluded she was incapable of committing rape, New Delhi Television reported.
Pramanik said that the medical board told her that she had "symptoms of excess male hormones as after-effect of some of the drugs I had taken during my sports career.āā
Pramanik said she hadnāt been given a copy of the medical report.
The athlete was arrested on June 14 after her partnerās complaint and was freed on bail in July after spending more than 20 days in jail.
Another Indian medalist at the 2006 Asian Games, Santhi Soundarajan, was stripped of the womenās 800 meters silver medal after failing a gender test shortly after the games.
