Louisa, you're probably right. Chick, are you flirting with SJ?

Hadn't thought about it for years till I saw this thread. Retelling it here has allowed me the amusement of witnessing some enjoyably ego-driven chest-beating though. Does that count?

I was involved in a group psychometry exercise once, years ago - not something I've done before or since. The leader gave everyone a photo related to his personal life in an envelope and you had to blurt out the first images that came into your head. I saw a woman with dark hair, a curve in a wide, brown river with a muddy shoreline and the sun on the water, then a sort of industrial interior with small metal things going through the air on a belt. They were just flashes but clear, so I described them, feeling like a total idiot. When I opened it, the picture was of his mother, who was originally from Sheffield, who lost another son when he drowned in the river. Maybe the guy was a charlatan but I can't see what he got out of it if so.

I phoned the same friend once and had a rather strange conversation as she had called me at the same time and our calls met in the middle, with neither phone actually ringing. Not sure I see this stuff as necessarily spiritual, though. Physicists can prove that everything is composed of energy, that everything that has lived has an energy field, and apparently that time is non-linear outside our day-to-day experience (don't ask me for references as I'm not that bothered) so it seems reasonable that in some circumstances some people might unwittingly tap into this somehow. Science isn't always black and white: when you hold hands with someone, you know which is your hand and which is theirs, but at the simplest molecular level you can't see where one person stops and the other begins. I find that rather beautiful.

Sorry about your bike. When mine went people suggested looking on Gumtree and I did see one that looked very like it but I couldn't get a reply. I expect you already reported it to the police. They told me that they do often stop people who have bikes that don't look right for them but then have problems reuniting them with their owners so they end up at the police auctions in East London somewhere.

A friend of mine when she was little looked out through her bedroom window one day and saw her aunt walking around the side of the house to the back door, as she often did. A bit later that day she was told her aunt had died.

I've seen them too, and in Belair Park though not so many. I think they're water rats, like Ratty in the Wind in the Willows, rather than the other sort, though no doubt all the duck-feeding attracts them too.

Currently being interviewed about being a community asset. I missed the start - was it the one in Nunhead?

Both sides are whistling in the dark, aren't they - fact is we don't know. Several of the antis should lose points for manners, though.
