Did the psychic actually go to the U.S.
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Yellow Rose The video title asks "Are all Psychics fake" my answer would be some have a natural ability and it's their calling in life, and the fakers try to wing it. Sally was referred to on the vid with reference to the claim she wore an earpiece and was being fed information. She sued the Daily Mail for libel and won her case, I wonder if This Morning ever mentioned that at a later date instead of leaving some viewers with the impression she's a fake.

Wine advice please....

Former Member Boxed wine deserves a mention too. Hardy's Stamp Shiraz Cabernet Saivgnon was the last I tried. The little tap is so handy, its environmentally friendly [less empties] oh and there's 3L of the stuff http://www.tesco.com/groceries...etails/?id=252303861 And its 14% ABV so it passes the Ells and Rog test I find it hard to notice the flavours or bouquet of wine.

Madame Arcati I watched some of this documentary, Cinds. Had to turn away at times as I'm a bit squeamish but I agree that it was rather thought-provoking.
