LOL that's right, then the bloke beats him up, afterwards the psychic is sitting there with a broken nose complaining to Brian "I didn't see that coming..." priceless
I opened my toolshed the other day and the scene inside looked like there'd been a cockfight in there, there were feathers and birdshit everywhere. Could have been seagulls or pigeons? Maybe they were sheltering from the heatwave and a cat got in?
How would your Mum know it cost 2/6? Most people that give gifts don't make a point of saying how much it cost.Only thing unexplained was when I was about 9 I think. Me and my two older brothers were playing about with an Ouija board and we 'contacted' someone who purported to be our great grandad.
We asked for something that could prove who he was and the board spelled out that there was a pocket watch in a locked drawer in our chest of drawers. The message was that it was bought in 1933, cost 2 shillings and 6 pence and our great grandad gave it to our mum. The watch had stopped and wasn't working anymore.
We finished the session and went straight to our mum. We asked if she had a pocket watch and she confirmed it. It was locked in a drawer and hadn't seen light of day for over 20 years.
Neither I, nor my brothers had any knowledge of this watch, or its whereabouts. We had never ever seen it before. Didn't even know where the key was.
Our mum confirmed the watch cost 2 shillings and 6 pence and was a gift from our great grandad.
The other message from our 'grandad' on the board was that there was some ham in the fridge that had gone off.
On telling our mum, she went to the fridge to check and there was indeed some ham that had gone off.
She never let us play with the Ouija again and we had to give it away.
We asked how much it cost and she told us it cost 2 and 6.How would your Mum know it cost 2/6? Most people that give gifts don't make a point of saying how much it cost.
Did you ask your Mum "How much did it cost"? or did you say "Did it cost 2/6"? There is a huge difference!
We asked how much it cost and she told us it cost 2 and 6.
We deliberately withheld information from her, cos as kids that was part of the game.
The stuff 'said' on the Ouija board didn't make much sense to us and/or was boring and trivial.
Only when our mum confirmed stuff did it hit home.

Just for the record I did dream months before that we would win the FA Cup beating Tottenham, but my dream said we won 2-1.

As for UFO's I am well read on the subject, but yet to be convinced that they are from another planet. A telling off the cuff comment was made to a journalist who was told by an executive at Boeing that whatever you think we have developed, we are thirty years ahead of you. And so UFO's IMO are of this earth, but I am open to change.
Never had any experiences myself, don't believe in spirit, ghosts, demons, psychics or any of that stuff.
I am open to aliens though, there are estimated to be 100-200 billion galaxies in existence with the milky way galaxy alone containing 100 billion planets. Would have to pretty long odds for Earth to be the only habitable planet.
Nope.Otis are you actually saying you believe that you were contacted by your dead granddad from beyond the grave?
Nope.
Just saying it is dead weird.
Definitely believed it at the time, but of course I was just a child.
Now I just find it weird and unexplainable.
I strongly believe in intelligent life elsewhere, I think its a virtual impossibility that we are the only ones in billions of galaxies. However, simply because there are so many potential life bearing planets, and with the distances involved, I think its unlikely that any have ever visited us.
I'm still trying to figure out where all my odd socks went. I have a bag full of odd socks that have no matching sock. Must have at least 30 by now. I'm putting down to gremlins stealing them in the middle of the night.

My missus lost her 2 younger sisters, one as a baby, and the youngest was in her teens, and has been drawn to the gypsy rose lee sorts many times over the years. Being the cynic I am, I used to coach her in what not to say, don't give any clues, etc. and not to be disappointed when she finds out its all a con. So after the 5th or 6th time, she was starting to understand how it all worked, and was disappointed, as she had always hoped she could make some sort of connection. Anyway, on a short holiday in Rhyl of all places, we were wandering through this arcade, and saw a "gypsy" fortune teller. Even though she knew it was all bunkum by that stage, she still wanted to "just try it" again. I advised her not to waste her time (and my dosh..) but could see the longing was still there, so just let her get on with it.
She came out looking stunned. This woman had told her she could see to female spirits around her, one very briefly, and one for longer. She then went on to explain what "they" were telling her. She got the details spot on about both sisters, including ages and the causes of death. She swore to me that she had said nothing, that this woman had just talked to her, saying all this stuff, and other stuff that was significant to her.
She also went on to give her other details about grandparents etc (who she had never met) so this didn't mean much to her, but when we got home, she asked her mum about them, and even a lot of this was very accurate. (Some of it was spot on, some her mum couldn't make any sense of)
She's been in to see a few fortune tellers since, but they were all back to being bunkum. Just this one seemed to get it right. Weird.

The good one was just a lot better at reading the tells your missus was giving.

I'm not pointing any fingers here but there's a dead seagull lying on the ground near our bins.
Now who do we know that doesn't like seagulls? :angelic:
I've heard that a good way to get rid of them is to feed them bread that's been spread with english mustard. Not seen it but apparently they bollock it down before realising that the mustards there.
