if nessie is indeed a goldfish then nessie is a little bit on the thickie side. isnt it true that goldfish can only remember things for 10 seconds does he swim around in a circle and glug all day? i think not he is far to clever for this and has managed to stay hidden for years. i think he is more likely to be a undercover police officer looking for discarded shopping trolleys and illegally moored fishing trawlers

Well its not just in Loch Ness is it? There are at least 30 other rivers/seas around the world that has the same type of creature sightings.
There are at least 300 pictures of these, not all are real, not all are fake. but the best one is from the late 60s, a video tape we looked by 100's of profeshenals, and they came all to the same conclusion that there was an unknown creature in the film.
Now since then pictures from Loch Ness are rare, but I have heard of a few sightings from the last decade. So that does not mean its not there anymore. We even have radar evidence that sugests there were 3 of them.
I like the idea of them being dinosaurs that made it. I think thats a better answer then an unknown creature/monster.
If they made it, then there would be a few scatterd around the clobe. That would explain why there are sightings in at least 20 other rivers/seas around the clobe. And would also explain why we have so very few remains of the dinosaur.
But till we find one ( well apparantly the bones of one was washed up a few years back but then threw back out) we will never know. But this is not a closed subject.

lol...to be honest u could spend the rest of ur life looking and still see nothing.... Just last week me and mark watched a program about the loch and they said that ripples on the water cause alot of 'sightings'.....the loch acts in mysterious ways...so maybe we will never find out what is going on there , if anything?....the mystery is set to continue years after we have passed and captivate the next generations....

Nearly 1000 feet deep and 24 miles long, Scotland's Loch Ness is believed by many to be home to the unidentified aquatic creature affectionately dubbed "Nessie."
Since the larger public first became aware of the monster in 1933, the Loch Ness beastie has become an international media star, her most recent appearance on a commemorative stamp recently issued by the Maldive Islands. Nessie has attained the status of a classic phenomenon and her popularity endures. No other monster is as tied in with a country's image as Nessie is with Scotland. Nessie has been featured in hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles, dozens of books, and has starred or co-starred in several feature films and innumerable documentaries, including an upcoming major studio release. She is arguably the best known cryptozoological creature in the world.
Nessie is certainly one of the most-sighted monsters in the world. At the age of 63, Nessie has lost none of her charisma. She often appears in advertisements (usually selling beer and spirits), is the object of sonar searches of the Loch, and/or is exploited by public relations people cashing in on her ability to attract the international mass media. And there are new sightings of the old girl every year.
If Nessie is proven to exist, British bookmaker William Hill faces a payout of over £1 million (over US$1.5). Nessie might be worth over a million to those who gamble on her existence, but to Scotland the monster has been worth millions a year as its premiere tourist attraction. Nessie has certainly come a long way since her birth in the 1930s.
There are many negatives in the search for lake monsters. Despite many credible eyewitness sightings, no live monsters have been caught after innumerable attempts in their respective lakes. No carcasses have ever been found that might be anything other than recognizable animals. It is a fact that giant nets, submarines, underwater cameras, sonar, and loch-side crews of observers have all failed to come up with the solid evidence that will prove to the world that there is a Loch Ness Monster.
On the other hand, the great number of eyewitness sightings--which show no signs of abating--make it hard to easily dismiss Nessie, who remains the Queen of all lake monsters

Another thing with these Lake Monsters is Why have there never been any skeletons discovered? but I guess this could be because, like Whales they have somewhere they go to die. Possibly the same place they go to spawn (or birth, calve or whatever a big snakey-fishy like thing does)
Sailors from the dim and distant past (well about 150 years or so ago) used to tell tales of sea monsters that would attack their ships and a lot of these were very much along the same lines as the lake monsters which does make you think they could head out to sea as most of the famous ones are all in lakes attached to the sea in some way.

Why don't someone just pull the plug on the loch? when the water drains, we will finally see that there was a dinosaur but unfortunatley it has now died.
On a more serious note, I believe it is possible for many of the pleiosaurs to have been frozen millions of years ago and then once thawed out carried on life not knowing any difference. They simply reproduce as normal explaining why reports span over centuries. However where the bodies of the dead wash up is anyones guess. Does anyone know if whales sink or float when they die?
