Offered: Tea-Leaf Reading (Lounged)

[HonaloochieB]

Probably young goats at that. Typical bloody kids.

[annaj]

I get very upset, althought not really hot, when people are rude about Diss.

I spent a very nice pre-Christmas weekend there with my family one year.

I have made all important decisions in my life based on my knowledge of myself and my situation, the information available to me and the opinions of those I trust and nothing has turned out how I expected and most of the time I don't feel any more in control than I would if I was letting the tea leaves decide.

Having said that, I agree that, becuase the people using them beileve in them, these things are not just harmless fun but potentially exploitative and dangerous and that Gillian McKeith is a seriously unhealthy and dysfuncitonal role model and doesn't understand even basic science. At all.

[HonaloochieB]

All I know is that Hilda Ogden used to read tea leaves. That's good enough for me.

[Jah Lush]

I think this is all a storm in a tea cup and as for Gillian McKeith, she doesn't exactly look too healthy herself does she?

[Keef]

Gillian McKeith is actually evil! I remember seeing her programme once, and she told this lady of approx 45/50ish, who had once been a model, that she was going to give her a makeover. She then had a make up artist go to work and make the woman look really old with bags under eyes, and cracked skin.

Now this is the cruelest bit, before showing her the mirror, she came in and put a tiara and sash on the woman, and then put the mirror in front of her!

The woman was absolutely distraught, and the good Dr (WTF?) calmly told her this is what she'd look like if she ever had a red wine again!

She is a fecking nasty nasty piece of work, and if she ever came in to my home, I would slap her face with a raw steak (before cooking it in a load of fat and topping it with a very creamy sauce, and eating it with a huge glass of red!).

[HonaloochieB]

Frankly if you're stupid enough to go on Dr 'Muck' Keith's show then you deserve all you get.

Unless you're going to shove a teapot up her @rse.

And if you are please let the rest of us know in advance.

[Brendan]

Is she that poo woman?

If so I agree, she?s absolutely dreadful.

[Keef]

Yep, you've got the right freak.

[RosieH]

Yeah, my friend's an idiot, but a lovely idiot, and she won't be dissuaded and continues to palm over the cash.

To my mind the whole shebang is about taking advantage of the vulnerable - hell, everyone likes to talk about themselves, and essentially that's what you're paying for - read my palm and tell me I'm fabulous. But this bint told my friend that her abusive boyfriend was her destiny and so she stuck with him against everyone sensible's advice.

I want to go round the tarot woman's (for such she is) house and slap her silly with Keef's steak.

[indiepanda]

Argh, destiny, what a load of c**p.

I agree these things tend to take advantage of people. If you really need someone to listen to your problems, you'd be better off seeing a counsellor. Not that all of them are brilliant, but at least they shouldn't spout complete and utter rubbish like destiny.

Oh, and agree wholeheartedly about McKeith... that woman is hardly a good advertisment for her lifestyle - she looks drawn taut in the face - not exactly raidiantly healthy.

And the program is a joke, pick anyone who is huge and eats a scary diet and get them to lay off and eat some more veggies and fruit for a month and of course they will lose weight, but it doesn't really prove her way is ideal, just not as bad as what they were doing before.

[mockney piers]

Careful, according to today's stars, if like me you're gemini:

"Now that Pluto has arrived back in Capricorn take another look at your curtains to see if alterations need to be made."

and Aquarius:

"Mars confirms that the parcel you were expecting last week is being kept for you at Thornwood Post Office, but only until Tuesday."

[Brendan]

Does that mean Pluto has a view of my bedroom window from Capricorn? Dirty yellow mutt.

[Jah Lush]

Bugger! Where's Thornwood post office?

[Brendan]

You will experience a feeling of discomfort towards the middle of the week as Mars moves into Uranus.

[mockney piers]

At least it isn't a teapot!!

[Brendan]

Which is the teapot? I know Orion?s belt looks a bit like a saucepan but I haven?t seen a teapot anywhere.

[Huguenot]

This a crafty snap I took on honeymoon of the Teapot moving into Uranus. People aren't usually aware of it because it's a southern hemisphere event.

Brendan, I'm surprised you're not familiar given your background, but I understand in SA it's known as a 'Welcome Entry'.

[mockney piers]

HAHAHAHAH, that's genius!!

[Keef]

Quality!

[Jah Lush]

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

[Keef]

LOL!

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Deserving of a much wider audience.

Some superb contributions, particularly "bob" and huguenot.

HonaloochieB is a given.

:)-D

[red devil]

The tea leaves are saying that either Brendan or Quids are going to be extremely disappointed again shortly...

[red devil]
