Wish I'd never read about that lion now!....

[ELVIS68]

I'm sitting alone in a van in the middle of nowhere at a level crossing, no houses nearby, no lights for miles and I've got to walk half a mile down the track with a torch for company.

Would whistling scare or attract a lion?

[wolf63]

I am unsure as to what advice to give you - my moggie is sitting howling in the living-room. He has just had the crappola beaten out of him by his sister.

Remember any lion (if there ever was one) will be more scared of you than you or it - unless it has the munchies.

stay put till morning!!

[baza]

Do a Tarzan bellow!

[wolf63]

Tarzan swung through the trees - are there that many big trees in Essex?

[baza]

We have a few large oaks! Are they big enough?

[wolf63]

Probably - what if his loin cloth is in the washing machine. I suppose its better than a lion eating the loin cloth.

[baza]

LOL wolf63.

[wolf63]

That's as good as it gets at this time of the morning.

Those stupid feline siblings are fighting over a toy mouse - there are dozens of them, why fight over this one. Wheelie bins are on order for them.

[ELVIS68]

Blimey that was spooky, you know that feeling you get when you feel you're being watched, well that was one of them!

[NoMercy]

He's behind you.

[wolf63]

Elvis - were you "All shook up"?

Anyway the thing seems to have turned out to be a big moggie.

[Brinjal]

Whistle, beat the scrub on the sides of the path with a stick. Flash the torch from side tot side. Will also scare away the snakes, jackels and porcupines.

According to the news the bloke [Bob Martin] who first reported the big cat hails
from Canvey. Methinks he's been sniffing the gas at the terminal.

[ELVIS68]

Got to do it all over again tonight, where's Bear Grylls when you need him?

[baza]

hes busy selling knives to boy scouts according to yesterdays paper.

I only live in Colchester ELVIS. If you're that worried about being in the dark by yourself let me know.........And I'll send my wife out to you.

You could always sing that song from The King and I :- Whenever I feel afraid
I hold my head erect and whistle a happy tune so that no-one will suspect I'm afraid! Then whistle the afore mentioned song!

[parkie]

You never know cupid. The lion might join in. He and ELVIS could sing a duet.

[ELVIS68]

The only song I'd be happy with is The Lion Sleeps Tonight
