   Who would thought a decision to put myself for sale in a bikers magazine would lead to me meeting the true love of my life. We used to talk other the phone in the old fashioned red telephone boxes, mostly all gone now,write to each other. Meet up in Bodmin which lead to finding out she had 3 children which never bothered me to deciding back in August 1988 to me taking a hugh gamble of wanting to be with Enid. We visited various places in some ways we were like a down graded form of gypsies,Enid had to go to various courts whilst awaiting a divorce,I think you went to nearly every court in Devon and Cornwall it finally ended up in Truro . I proposed to Enid at Ilfarcombe job centre. Later on the 15 th June 1991 we got married at Holsworthy Register Office no longer around. We did not fall out to often,we both were very much chalk and cheese. Finding out she had cancer and being asked to not tell anyone is the biggest secret I have kept and it's lead to a bit of a fall out w...

Echoes of a Silent Heart**

  In the hushed chambers of the night,   Where shadows dance with memories bright,   I tread the path of whispers lost,   Each echo a reminder, each sigh a cost.   You were the sun that warmed my soul,   Now I wander, just a half, not whole.   The laughter we shared, like petals in flight,   Now lingers in corners, dimmed by twilight.   Each room a canvas of what we once drew,   Here’s a glance, a smile, a love that was true.   Yet silence is loud, it screams in my chest,   A love that has faded, a heart now at rest.   I reach for the stars, but grasp only air,   A phantom embrace, a reminder of care.   In solitude's grasp, I learn to still weep,   For love lost to shadows, for dreams I can't keep.   But within the heart's ache, a seed must remain—   The echoes of love, though enduring the pain.   For you...

What kind of animals featured during the games at the Colosseum

 What kind of animals featured during the games at the Colosseum? Wild animals of every imaginable stripe were brought to Rome from the most distant corners of the Roman empire to feature in high profile games at the Colosseum. The Scriptores Historiae Augustae explicitly praised the emperor Antonius Pius for his munificence in staging a games featuring ‘all the animals of the whole earth,’ and it seems such claims were scarcely an exaggeration: lions, rhinos, crocodiles, hippos, cheetahs, rhinoceroses, monkeys and elephants were all transported from Africa to the capital; tigers, leopards, panthers, and cheetahs made the perilous journey from Asia, whilst bears were captured and taken to Rome from the highlands of Scotland – mysterious Caledonia wasn’t even part of Rome’s dominion, and so the bears had to be caught on furtive raiding expeditions beyond Hadrian’s wall. All these animals met their end in the arena before spellbound audiences in ever more inventive fashion. Less fier...

Cercopithecidae

 The Linnaean classification beginning with the superfamily is: Superfamily Cercopithecoidea Family Cercopithecidae: Old World monkeys Subfamily Cercopithecinae Tribe Cercopithecini Genus Allenopithecus – Allen's swamp monkey Genus Miopithecus – talapoins Genus Erythrocebus – patas monkeys Genus Chlorocebus Genus Cercopithecus – guenons Genus Allochrocebus – terrestrial guenons Tribe Papionini Genus Macaca – macaques Genus Lophocebus – crested mangabeys Genus Rungwecebus – kipunji Genus Papio – baboons Genus Theropithecus – gelada Genus Cercocebus – white-eyelid mangabeys Genus Mandrillus – mandrill and drill Subfamily Colobinae African group Genus Colobus – black-and-white colobuses Genus Piliocolobus – red colobuses Genus Procolobus – olive colobus Langur (leaf monkey) group Genus Semnopithecus – gray langurs or Hanuman langurs Genus Trachypithecus – lutungs Genus Presbytis – surilis Odd-nosed group Genus Pygathrix – doucs Genus Rhinopithecus – snub-nosed monkeys Genus Nasalis – ...

Hominidae

 Hominidae, A number of very similar words apply to related classifications: A hominoid, sometimes called an ape, is a member of the superfamily Hominoidea: extant members are the gibbons (lesser apes, family Hylobatidae) and the hominids. A hominid is a member of the family Hominidae, the great apes: orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans. A hominine is a member of the subfamily Homininae: gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans (excludes orangutans). A hominin is a member of the tribe Hominini: chimpanzees and humans.[12] A homininan, following a suggestion by Wood and Richmond (2000), would be a member of the subtribe Hominina of the tribe Hominini: that is, modern humans and their closest relatives, including Australopithecina, but excluding chimpanzees.[13][14] A human is a member of the genus Homo, of which Homo sapiens is the only extant species, and within that Homo sapiens sapiens is the only surviving subspecies.

What is Statement?

 with scientific rigour. full transparency Two parts of the statement which I would question of scientific rigour why when certain evidence was questioned did it lead to what in essence was a ban ,it if certain evidence should not be questioned    full transparency if this is true why no apologies or taking down certain posts and why put in a statement that evidence given was not convincing enough to be praised. I don't normally question a group or website statement but I have to admit to having an invested interest as I was one ban. Also it was not that long ago on one of the shows on YouTube that said the subject was considered paranormal and thought of being a creature that existed was not considered. It great to see people chasing their passion but when you were told to question evidence as it maybe not all it seems than that conflicts with the statement.

Evidence Questioned

 However, we did manage to get enough DNA and some solid species detections. We detected Eastern Gray Squirrels and Common Pheasant and also various large mammals like Roe Deer, Wild Boar, European Badger and Homo Sapiens (Humans) that could have left the tracks But we also classified some DNA sequences to the family Hominidae, the taxonomic group to which Humans belong and Cercopithecidae, the family of Old World Apes. Those last two classifications obviously trigger some speculation." Sadly, it's impossible to use DNA to identify Bigfoot for certain. Vanessa Luis, Chief Molecular Scientist at the GBC, explained: "It is not actually possible to identify Bigfoot via E-DNA without a previous reference in the genetic databases. For that, one needs to have a tissue sample to extract DNA from to then barcode. Unfortunately, no confirmed DNA sequence of Bigfoot exists in the barcode reference databases we use at SGS In recent evidence studied concerning possible DNA of a certa...

Last Statement About State of Of Events On Facebook

 I used to love the world of cryptozoology and it's many  side subjects.But I lost my love for it due a series of events in the British Bigfoot World which caused toxicity and disruptive ideas . As it turned out both sides Daniel and Deborah were victims of troll account which someone (unknown at present) which  someone  went out their way to cause a friction between.( Only an opinion) I respect both Daniel and Deborah as both very passionate on Thier chosen subject. I still respect the CFZ as one of the biggest informative places to go to find out about cryptozoology and much more. I was taught to always question evidence as is subjective to lots interruptions that were debate should be the main thing but unfortunately tribalism gets in the way and you may feel forced to go along with the crowd. Sometimes the tribalism leads to toxicity and disruptive ideas,it ok to disagree with someone,it ok to get things wrong. S If you don't like someone don't go out of your way...

It Easy to Give In The Hard Part Is Carrying On.

 I don't like the so called new world as it's become to easy for people to be both judge and jury and the police all rolled into one. I know not everyone is going to like who you are that's fine ,I personally if I don't like anyone I just don't make the effort I try to stay out of  confrontation  as it affects my mental and cognitive problems. Recently I found it harder to deal with situations where I now I have not done anything really wrong and I ended up nearly losing my reputation as a person,lost a friendship, lost access to Facebook group s . I have decided to stand my ground and fight my corner but it's getting harder when it s out of your hands and it makes you question who you really are . In my personal life I have only one person I truly rely on and that's my step son Shane , technically he is not my step son anymore as you may know my wife is no longer and his mum are no longer with us. If either of of us were left on own for whatever reasons it ...

What is Friendship When Youre Kicked in the Rear

**Verse 1:** What is friendship when you're kicked in the rear, Promises shattered like glass, stained with fear. In the shadows where loyalty rots and decays, I wander the graveyard of trust, lost in the haze. Burning bridges like corpses that linger and wail, Each laugh like a dagger, each smile hides a betrayal. Crimson rivers run deep, where the heart used to beat, Now a wasteland of memories, a battlefield of defeat. **Chorus:** Binding chains of commitment, forged in the fire, Smokestacks of darkness rise, as we dance on the wire. In the abyss of despair, true colors reveal, What is friendship when shadows consume what is real? **Verse 2:** I reach for your hand, but it's cold as the grave, Your whispers like poison, a soul that won't save. The echoes of laughter now twisted and frail, Haunting my dreams like a ghost on my trail. Underneath the surface, the tempest does rage, Sins written in blood on an unforgiving page. With every promise broken, the darkness grows n...

Different Outlook

 Having a different outlook at a subject or post is always good for debate you may clash with others but it should be seen that it's only an option based on principles learnt and taught to you by other s . If you are wrong that s ok it not the worst thing in the world to matter it's in mans nature to question if we did not have that how would we progress. I like to research both sides of an argument when you get past the jargon most of them are going along the same lines. Always question, research, debate if you are wrong you learn by your mistakes  Don't get into tribal mode or become toxic with posts or comments look at facts Frist For does not the bible say  Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Being An Eyewitness

 I am my own eyewitness to having an near death experience and yes I do expect people to challenge that belief and give me all the latest information on near death experience in the science world. My experience is what I believe is true so like all eyewitness account s it can be open to the way you're brain wishes to remember it but it doesn't make it less true. Science wise this would not stand up but on hundreds of very well known respected sites are many an eyewitness account. So being an eyewitness is not a easy route to own too as you then subject yourself to being mocked, abused, belief it's just to get attention 

15 minutes of frame

 In 1968, a programme printed for a Swedish exhibition of Andy Warhol's work read: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” But in today's fragmented media environment, increasing numbers of 'world-famous' celebrities are only recognised by 15% or less of the world's population

The mystery of why an ancient Egyptian mummy nicknamed the Screaming Woman

The mystery of why an ancient Egyptian mummy nicknamed the Screaming Woman had a pained expression on her face may have been solved. New analysis by scientists suggests she died "screaming from agony" around 3,000 years ago. The experts say she may then have experienced a rare event known as a cadaveric spasm at the moment of death, causing her muscles to stiffen and immortalise her suffering. The condition causes the muscles to freeze in the exact position the person was in when they died. https://news.sky.com/story/screaming-woman-egyptian-mummys-pained-expression-may-have-been-caused-by-rare-event-13189151

Still recommend although not my scene anymore

 Although I don't wish to be part of the cryptozoology world I would not wish to discourage others  Still one of the biggest and most informative sites about cryptozoology probably in the world and I suggest if wish to learn more try it out and see  https://cfz.org.uk/

What is a scientific argument?

 In a nutshell, scientific argumentation requires scientists to support their claims (either for or against a particular idea or explanation) with evidence that has been gathered through observation or experimentation and then to use logic and reason to justify why that evidence supports their claims. Scientific arguments use evidence and data rather than belief or opinion to support a claim because evidence and data can be empirically reexamined and retested, whereas beliefs and opinions (no matter how strongly held) cannot be empirically verified. Learning how to construct a valid scientific argument will help you recognize arguments that are unscientific — those based wholly or in part on emotion, ignorance, misinterpretation of scientific evidence, or denial.

Cfz Time To Say Goodbye

Recently I tried to access the two main Cfz Groups I belonged to but when I tried to find them via Facebook search I found I could no longer access either I know I said I did not want to post anymore but I really did not expect this action against me. It may be connected to recent events in the world of British Bigfoot only a guess on my part,I have interviewed both Daniel and Deborah and found them both informative and passionate about their subjects, evidence, maps,DNA evidence. But it seems this view is not a very positive one as both sides of the argument have put out very negative posts on both sides . I very disappointed with this outcome as a passionate supporter of Cfz Group s for many years I think if ever a television company wanted to make a documentary British Bigfoot would be the one to to do. I expect tribalism is part of it as well as too much belief in One person who I expect one day in the near future to do the dirty on them. I have said in previous posts I wanted to ...
