i can see the dead ppl :p
Have you been playing with that Ouija board again?
Stop doing that , it could make you go blind :D
I once played with an Ouija board, I wad about 18 and with a group of friends. The house filled with mist. It scared the **** out of us and we immediately packed it in. About an hour later when I left the house, there was a small girl dressed in Victorian style clothing sat on the garden shed roof. She dissipated and vanished like a vapour after about 30 seconds.

I don’t believe in ghosts, but I’ve no idea what happened on that night. I never seen anything like it since.

It wasn’t alcohol either, I’ve never really drunk much and I was never cool enough to be invited to dabble with drugs.

'Appens it likely won't work and will not be anonymous. Great.

NHS contact tracing app isn't really anonymous, is riddled with bugs, and is open to abuse. Good thing we're not in the middle of a pandemic, eh?
Plus: There are some worrying data protection implications

Years and years following policies of appointing people on criteria based on anything except ability has come home to roost. In normal times, they can bluff their way through, but now that they are expected to deliver on their CVs, they can’t. The incompetence goes all the way to the core.

It must be constantly pointed out that the risk to most MPs is only moderate; it’s the risk of passing on infection that’s more significant. Even more so for schools, where it’s the children’s families and spread of infection that’s the problem; young children’s risk is low.

Following this logic we should have a parliament of young children, and to be frank the competence of decision making could well improve as a result, and there would be less absenteeism from hiding in fridges as the handles are too high. :cool:
Leading by example would be a good idea. If MPs believe it’s safe to return to work, they should return to the HoC instead of hiding away. It’s either safe or it isn’t and if they say it is now safe, they should set the example and show leadership.

These can happen with ganja, both the mist (smoke) and the visual delusions.

It just gets worse and worse for the poor old dems in USA. More criminal referrals are being made, now against the Mueller team who spent 2 years and $40 million on their investigation, when evidence shows that they knew on day one that there wasn't a shred of evidence of Russian collusion and they knew that the dossier was completely fake. Some of those guys are going to have some very difficult questions to answer.

I can remember when Mueller was being questioned about his report when it was first published. He looked like he wanted to crawl under a rock and hide, not like someone who was proud of his two years work. My spider senses were in overdrive while watching it.

I think I was around 18 years old when myself & mates did the old upturned glass routine. Thing moved all over the table no doubt about it, no one was pushing it. At the time we just laughed it off but still something happened, we never attempted it again.

I have a similar story to you and BS, I was around 18 or 19 with a couple of mates, and a Ouija board. We had a few drinks but no one was drunk. We were in a bed sit of one of the lads, and the door to his room locked its self. I and the others felt a very strange atmosphere in the room. We were all very scared, I've never used a Ouija board since. Not seen either of the two lads for many years, but when ever we do meet up this incident comes up in the conversation and neither of them have used a Ouija board since then too.

I'm generally a fairly logical person, don't tend to believe in ghosts and aliens visiting us etc. but I think that there are perhaps some scientific principles that we have yet to fully understand. What happens when using Ouija boards might be some branch of science that we might be able to explain one day.

Still scraping around at the bottom of the barrel looking for scum?. The only reason Pres. Trump remains in office is that the GoP did not have the bottle to even call one witness last January.
The reason Mr Mueller looked shell shocked was because the DoJ had made a decision that the current President could not be tried.
The only salient fact is that 90,000 USA citizens will have died by Saturday night due to CV19. ,And that 1.5M have the infection. With a 10% mortality rate that would give 150k deaths within the next three weeks,and that is before the great opening up commences . Note the USA is already 60% there.

Same here, as I say I don’t believe in it, but that mist was real and the child on the shed roof was very clear. I’ve never dabbled again and don’t pay any attention to “supernatural” stories or programmes on TV. I’m happy to leave my experience as having an explanation that I’m not aware of.

When I worked down a coal mine we told the lad at the end of a tunnel that their was a headless ghost.
The tunnel was very windy and we tied a carrier bag to a long length of surveyors string and let it go down the tunnel at walking pace.
We heard the lad scream and he set off running, he swore blind that he had seen a ghost carrying it's head under it's arm...If you expect to see something, you might just see it.

Nah..he screamed because that carrier had Tesco printed on it and he knew the nearest supermarket was ASDA ....spooky.

It's not as if Eugenics doesn't seem to have a point where politicians are concerned is it?

Thought for the day.

"I seen a front porch swing,
heard a diamond ring
I seen a polka-dot railroad tie
But I be done seen about everything
If I see Boris Johnson not lie"
