Quote: Matthew Stott @ 8th April 2014, 8:45 PM BSTCan't remember the exact combination, think it was something like INFJ.
Looking at it, apparently only about 1-3 percent of people get that. Am special flower.
Quote: Jennie @ 8th April 2014, 8:18 PM BSTI have, as I try to keep half a mind open to the things I am sceptic about.
I went to one who told me my granddad wanted me to know that he loved me and he was always there for me.
Which was something of a post death personality change, because by all accounts in life he was a violent alcoholic bully who I never met (as my mother decided to keep her daughters well away from him).
Derren Brown has done a couple of interesting shows on it. Lots of people think he is psychic, when he very much isn't. However to all intents and purposes, it looks like he is.
Penn & Teller's Bullshit! Series is also interesting on this kind of thing.
If it works for you, great. But I am still very much yet to be convinced.
Aw, that's not very good 
I wasn't trying to get you to start going or anything though Jennie, I think we should all just do what we want.
Just thought you might want to see for yourself because you said you are open minded, but you already have, sooo, ah well...

Same as Zooo, I believe. You are rare beasts.
But I am a bit more special.
Probably.
Because, um... of stuff.

Got that one as well. Why is it so unusual though?

I remember thinking it was quite funny, at the time.
But that was because I have no emotional attachment to the man. If she had said she heard from my grandmother, who I was extremely close to, then the emotional effect on me would be that much stronger.
I suppose I have a natural aversion to those who trade on people's grief. Grief is the rawest, most personal aspect of our emotional compass and I don't like to see it played with.
Of course, if they are genuine, then they are performing a wonderful service. Anyway, how did your reading go?
Quote: Hannah G @ 8th April 2014, 8:45 PM BSTBut we don't live anywhere near London. We are hundreds of miles away.
It would have been completely random if she had been wrong, and to say it was his grandad as well when she could have said anyone.But if you don't believe you don't believe... ho hum
Fair enough. Then my other explanation would be that old people only ever sang 5 songs in their lives - the aforementioned 'Bubbles', plus 'We'll Meet Again', 'Doing the Lambeth Walk', 'White Cliffs of Dover' and obviously 'F**k The Police' by Niggers With Attitude.
As Human iPods they're pretty limited. When I open my Mystic Renegade Tarot House of Mystery in 10 years, I'll be coming out with 'Does the song 'I Will Survive / My Way / I Will Always Love You / Angel by Robbie Williams mean anything to you?'
It's not really the same - "IFBB" is linked to West Ham United, which Hannah said her boyfriend's granddad supported. None of the songs you listed have football connections.
If I remember correctly, Hannah lives somewhere around Manchester, so unless her boyfriend has a strong East London accent, that is quite impressive.

I didn't go in the end because I had to take little man to the doctors, bad tummy.
I'll go next week instead.

At least you'll get to be CEO of something.

Oh no! Is he OK now?

Not really it's like playing at the casino, if you get blowing bubbles then that's a big win. If you don't then make up for it with half a dozen small wins.
Basically if you're foolish and gullible enough to pay for this bullshit, your looking for positives and will be easily convinced.

Hmmm, that's a good point I suppose

Oh yeah he's completley fine thank you
It was nothing much, but he would have played hell for my mum if I'd left him with her.

See my previous Mystic Renegade Tarot House of Mystery playlist.
'Does the song I Will Survive' mean anything to you?'
'Oh yes! My mum / sister / aunt / best friend used to sing that at karaoke! It was her favourite song!'
IFBB just happened to have a connection with Hannah's boyfriend, much in the same way. And as sooty has pointed out, you fling out enough stuff and some of it's bound to stick.
Hannah said she doesn't provide verbal cues, just listens.
I don't believe in it either, just considering the possibility of a psychic encounter.
Although if I was ever in a position to speak to my loved ones after death, I don't think I'd be talking about songs.
