NEWS FLASH ! Nessie spotted again.


Our overseas news correspondent has chist reported a sighting of Nessie. This time it was seen one mile west of the Skye bridge, on the ferry route to Raasay. Angus-Hugh MacNicol writes, “I was chist swimming along, eating my lamb vindaloo, when all of a sudden there was a giant wave. I thought it was another tsunami, but I looked down and there it was.”

Luckily, Angus Hugh had his underwater camera with him.

Over the past year there have been many more sightings off the island. Last month, Farquar Bogg, of the Agriculture, Rumba-dancing and Sanitation Department, was hosing down Daft Uisdean by the ferry terminal when he saw a similar large, green shape rise out of the water.

More on this story as the news unfolds….

Torquil, when you said that Farquar Bogg, "saw a similar large, green shape rise out of the water", did you mean he saw it rise out of the water with which he was hosing down Daft Uisdean, or did he see it rise out of the water at the ferry terminal? Your story was very amphibious, and you need to clarify your meaning.

Well spotted Mustafa P AlFresco. I'll have to ask Farquar Bogg which it was. But, wait a minute now...

If Farquar Bogg saw the large, green shape arise out of the water with which he was hosing down Daft Uisdean then... then... then... do you realise that Daft Uisdean might BE the monster!

This might go some way to explaining the sudden disappearance of Daft Uisdean. Maybe the call of the sea was too much for him. Oh my goodness gracious, how ever will we tell Cyril Nosecone that the son he fathered to Maggie Ann is really an ugly, green, sea monster!

We might need the ministers help with this one.

Well spotted, Mustafa P AlFesco !
