Eh.....how do you know? If people at one won point quite reasonably assumed the Earth was flat, the liklihood is you would have been one of them. And it seems it's not.

The burden of evidence is on you and yours. V difficult to prove a negative.

If it was just a question of how many people had died in any place, then all hospitals should be so full of ghosts that it would be difficult to walk through the corridors. Like wading in mystic soup (not that I'm sure this is a reliable comparison, I haven't actually tried it)

Get the wrong kind of psychic whistle and you'll be surrounded by the ghosts of a thousand dead dogs.


I don't think evidence is necessary - the faintly ethereal and slightly scatty are free to believe in ghosts just as the seriously deluded are to believe in god/gods etc.


Just as long as they don't start killing each other over the right approach to poltergeists and/or organise a fatwa against Ghostbusters for trivialising the issue.

Indeed. So better not to make statements which you can't prove :)


Some people are unable to distinguish between certain colours. Other people (I knew one) can only see things in shades of black and white.


No amount of others telling them they were "wrong" could convince them that colour "existed", if they had a mind to doubt it.


Some people are sensitive to psychic phenomena which others can't perceive. Telling them that they are talking bollocks just because you are not so sensitive is closed-minded.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Kuhn who wrote about paradigm shifts?


Quite relevant to the discussion if so, I would say.

Maybe, but does a mad man always know he is mad?...

And some people are sensitive to believing any old crap because they are feeble minded.

And you really do write 'any old crap'. Just because you don't know somwthing doesn't mean it doesn't exist and I'm talking about anything. For feeble minded read closed mind in your case.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
