Recording all of Film Four's extreme season on Film 4, gonna try and watch Funny Games
Is that on again tonight? I missed it a couple of nights ago.
Ok it's time for you people to be useful to me.
1:47
What the hell is that music playing in the background? I've been hearing it all week on the adverts for Bright Star (BBC2 tonight) and it's driving me mad.

Doing my research for my dissertation on my boy Hitler. Sadly not going too swell. Streaming football at the same time. (Goodnight sweet QPR)
Recording all of Film Four's extreme season on Film 4, gonna try and watch Funny Games and Love Exposure tonight (Four hours, lel). Part from that nothing planned, haven't had a conversation with anyone face to face in about three days. All alone in my Brighton house. What are you going to be doing?

Morning all,
Sorry for my absence, coursework and exams have taken up any spare time between trying to push my presidential campaigning. That and just day to day life admin :/
Much planned for the weekend?

If everyone has a few minutes, jumping into the Games section and helping me out would be much appreciated.

@DL Are you being serious about the dementia thing? If so that's not good news, I'm sorry to hear that.
Don't you worry pete ... we're all ok with it here and we're getting it sorted, if you know what I mean, but I keep forgetting what I've agreed to ... which, believe me, is so annoying ;¬)

Imagine if someone really did have the power to talk to spirits. I'm sure if they found themselves with such an ability the urge would be to prove it under rigorous testing. It would be a huge revelation.
If such a thing did exist this person would be faced with 3 possible options.
1) Tell no one, once their powers were exposed their life would never be the same again.
2) Use their powers for a good use, helping the authorities with unsolved murders etc.
3) Travel the country filling theatre's with gullible fools at £25 a head and tell them whatever old rubbish that they want to hear.
Seriously guys, if you have chance to watch Derren Brown's interview with Richard Dawkins on cold reading it's extremely interesting. However he does not explain why 'Psychic' Sally Morgan is so rubbish at it!

Great news ... just levelled up ... Dementia Grade 1 now, really proud ... really hard work, I think

However, since no-one has ever agreed to be scientifically tested under proper conditions there is no way that any sane (read non-gulible) person will believe them.
The main get-out clause is their excuse that 'these powers would disappear if I let someone test them' or 'I was warned never to test my belief'.
You can, however, see people talking to spirits for free most nights, just wait until closing time at the local pub...

[i]Errrr.... I think most of us know the answer to that question, as for the public's ''right to know'' if certain people are gullible enough to fall for this kind of rubbish then that's their choice.
For £20 - £50 they would be better off watching me attempt to play guitar for the first time. At least they wouldn't be mis-informed.[/i]
True, I have no special talent either but at least I don't fleece vulnerable, and perhaps more to the point gullible people of their hard earned cash.
Sally's defence to claims that she is full of crap:
''There are certain people that feel they need to try and disprove my ability,’ she added. ‘Too many people over the last 40 years that I have been doing this have received comfort from me to run away and leave them.''
After reading that statement I still stand by my firm belief that she is full of crap.
My favourite Sally fails:
Sally fail 1
Sally fail 2
Derek Acorah is another one, these people are basically crooks who have made an awful lot of money from pulling off this baloney.
Of course none of this applies to the great 'Psychic Butch', his powers are the stuff of legend on these forums :)
