Making a fortune

I can see a blue shape, I can see your future and it will be filled with other people’s dirty Laundry.

Thanks to Dominic for the pic which is on our flikr account to the right (scroooll), reminding us that he is not a recycling psychic.

My great grandmother Emma French was a romany gypsy, and she has passed on very mild psychic powers to me.

• Often when I’m trying to look up a word in a dictionary, I open it on the exact page I’m looking for.

• I was staying over at my sister’s and it was time for bed we both decided to read for a while, not only were we both coincidentally reading Harry Potter, but we were both on the same chapter.

• When I was at my first year ball, I guessed that the next song that the jazz band was about to play was Summertime.

Just before you get spooked out by the enormity of this new evidence for the existence of the paranormal, I also have some evidence to the contrary.

I’ve been asking around in our office, Tom hasn’t been to a psychic, but then there was the homeless chappy that Tom bought dinner for near Waterloo (because Tom is quite kind like that), he told him he’d found his soulmate and should get married after one week of dating, this did not happen.

PD the big boss man went to a psychic on his 40th birthday, he says it was a load of old baloney, but on the upside the same day he did get dragged into a sex shop by Anita Roddick (it was her daughter’s - www.coco-de-mer.co.uk). The psychic did not predict this.

I went to a psychic in Brighton who told me that I will meet a man at work who makes me laugh, is outdoorsy, we’ll get married and she could see us rambling through the hills, maybe in Cornwall, with a shy son, tomboy girl and a baby in tow, this is….unlikely? watch out colleagues.

I predict 3 people will comment on our blog with psychic stories….

    My best friend works in coco de mer! she serves celebrity types such as brad pitt and angelina jolie… and tricia! angelina jolie bought grape coloured bondage tape.

    my friend also spied my brother in the shop, and called me to say so. i then rang him to ask why he was frequenting erotic emporium’s in covent garden, which made me look psychic, even though i’m not. giggle!

    If, like most Potter fans, you both bought the latest HP book the day it came out, and presuming you both went to the same schools so had similiar levels of education. It’s not too much of a coincedence that you were reading the same chapter on the same night. (Especially if it was the night it was released, and it was chapter 1!)

    I think the other two aren’t great example of phychic evidence either, one can work out roughly which area a particular letter is in the dictionary (”z” is near the end) and you don’t mention how many times you DONT get it right. Also, A Jazz Band? Playing Summertime!?!? Shocker!

    Coincidentally, I predicted I’d get an email from the Laundry today…. and I did!

    My current flatmate Johnny said our keys might break in the front door lock because it’s so stiff - the very next day: my key broke in the lock.

    Johnny was then commenting on how much he liked my little musical making machine that rachel bought me for my birthday. That night, we were watching a movie where the very same music machine featured quite prominently in the movie.

    weird.

    When on holiday in Turkey I had my fortune told by a man with a psychic rabbit. There were rolled up fortunes in a holder which the rabbit would hop past and then pick one out with its mouth. The one he picked for me said I would marry a rich man who was rather old. So far this hasn’t come come true… but it’s fine I only did it so I could pet the rabbit anyway!

    ‘Lo,

    Glad you like the psychic pic. I certainly don’t profess to have any mystical powers, but my great aunts (on my father’s side) were witches from the East Anglian fens. When my dad’s sister was very young, my grandmother took her to see her witchy aunts: they told her the date she would get married, the name of her husband, the dates her children would be born and other important points in time. Apparently they all came true.

    However, this story came from my dad, and he had a 30 year ‘joke’ going on with my mother that he was convinced he had one really ugly foot and one really beautiful one (which was only confessed to be nonsense recently), so I’m not sure I believe a word…

    Whoa, looks like we are accumulating a good amount of evidence for magic. Let’s write a book and make a fortune telling fortuness, like all the other scamsters.

    Duncan, I did say they were very mild psychic powers….
