    Armed police were last night hunting for a lion believed to be on the loose in Essex. Residents were told to stay indoors after the beast was spotted in fields near Clacton.

    Warning, this will link you to the Daily Mail

    :eek:

    Assuming it's not a cast-member from TOWIE, wandering home from Saturday night, looking a little worse for wear.

    it would need more than an hour to eat (out) Amy Chiles.

    Shut up!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,836 ✭✭✭Colmustard


    There are a load of cats loose in Britain. Loads of feral wild pigs as well. That is according to a C4 programme I seen years ago. I believe it as well, loads of witnesses and cats are usually nocturnal and masters at staying out of the way and stealth.

    I don't know about a lion, big fukcers who usually don't care who sees them.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭MaxSteele


    A lion on the loose in Essex is almost like a worthy cause you'd donate money to.

    "For just three pounds a month, Simba could be that step even closer to devouring Michelle, 22. Hairdresser who enjoys blue wkd, tanning beds and X factor".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭ITS_A_BADGER


    LO fvcking L

    "An Essex police spokeswoman said the force had not ruled out the possibility that the lion was from the circus"


    where the fvck else does a lion come from???





    *just thought of a zoo after posting

    I know there's too many! Here's another one. I think we should all be a little simba-thetic towards the Essex crew.

    It's not in a city, it's in Essex, which is a county, and in a quite rural part of it. Plenty of hiding spots and food.

    Did anyone else instantly think of this?

    Searching for something with long, thick hair, an orange colour and long nails in Essex..Good luck with that one Mr Policeman.
    My mother in law lives near there I hope for the lion's sake she's not out for her morning walk.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,711 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    Police have just reported that after further investigation, the lion is actually a snow leopard with a spray tan and hair extensions.

    Well if it did, then there would be a few lions on the loose.

    Here's a photo. It certainly does resemble a Lion, but it is actually related to the equine family.
