  Greatly enjoying going through the back catalogue of this podcast. The chemistry between these two is a real pleasure to listen to.

  A great listen, if not simply just for the sentence. "I bet you I could find examples of Saints who confront Malevolent Amphibians."

  Travelled down the west side of Loch Ness. Didn't see any sign of Nessie the monster. Instead was struck by the beauty of nature to carve out the great valley by glaciers.

  Saints fighting malevolent amphibians made me laugh.

  I am being a bit foolish for I am commenting before I complete the podcast.  Wen I was a child, I so much wanted Nessie to be a real aquatic reptile or dinosaur.  I have always been interested in photography.  I also learned that a photograph can lie.  A gust of wind on a quiet lake can generate mini waves that throw off the scale of a tight photograph.  A log or water bird like a loon, can appear high in poor light.  When taking pictures of loons and cormorants in Minnesota, they began to look like some of the Nessie photos.  I had to grow up.  Then scientists pointed out what now seems obvious.  Their reconstruction of theropod dinosaurs had been poor, feathers were ancient, and dinosaurs are still with us. So now I can say in all honesty, the lock Ness supports multiple populations of avian dinosaurs.  A bit of equivocation there, but to know dinosaurs are still with us, makes every child in us leap for joy!

  Boleskine House - Alistair Crowley owned this place, it's a large cottage between Foyers and Inverness on the north-east side of the loch. Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin also owned it decades later. A fire badly burnt a lot of it years ago but it's just been restored recently and I believe they have plans to open it as a museum/visitor attraction

  I saw a black panther in Kent in the mid-1990s, while driving south on the A2, in a field to the east of the road.  Never bothered to tell anyone about it, since I didn't know the area well enough to pinpoint the location on a map (this being well before GPS and SatNavs), and didn't want to be accused of making it up.  Absolutely not a black cat, MUCH larger and very different proportions.
