BB: are you a journalist ??

Talk about taking things out of context !

This is why you should always be wary of being quoted ...

What I actually said was "People often think I'm arrogant when they first meet me, but usually end up loving me
I think I'd win it so long as I survived the first couple of weeks ... "

Now, the bit about ending up loving me was firmly in cheek, but by and large I do come across as being arrogant, while I like to think of myself as just being confident.

Great answers everyone, enjoyed reading them all

4. Do you believe in anything supernatural?
I'm a staunch atheist, but something happened to me a while back ...
My mother died in 1999 and my sister - who lives in Jo'burg - had been over a few times in the three years she was under treatment for cancer. On her return to Africa, she went to see a medium. She asked to speak to our mother, but she was literally fresh in the ground at that point, so she wasn't surprised when nothing happened. Her friend went in afterwards and my mother appeared to her and asked her to tell my sister not to worry: the cancer wasn't hereditary, but was caused when she fell off a ladder whilst decorating, landing on the bannister rod upright at the end of the stairs.
Only three people on the planet could have known about that: my sister, myself and our step-father.

Now thats spooky isnt it, makes you think there must be something in it.....

[Deleted User 728]

Absolutely.

I was decorating with her at the time and she landed on her chest with the wooden "ball" bit on the top of the banister pole jarring into her rib-cage about where her heart was.
I mean this bit:


She had been standing on a couple of planks that we'd set up using a ladder to paint the long drop of our stairwell, lost concentration and simply fell off.
A few years later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. What she was alluding to "from beyond the grave" was that it was the injury that caused it, nothing in her genes so my sister needn't worry on that score.

We were very close as my father died when I was 7, and despite her remarrying a couple of years later it was me she first told about the lump she found. She actually said "Put your hand there" and pointed to her breast and I laughingly said "Shut up!" or something, but then I saw the look on her face and when I touched her chest I could feel a lump about the size of a walnut. I took her to the doctor there and then and two days later she had a mastectomy, which saved her life. No chemo, just off ..

Thing is, you run a higher risk of a recurrence once you've had it and despite them removing her lymph glands at the time of the original operation, eventually it caught up with her fifteen years later and finally took her in the form of bowel cancer.

When I think back to it all now, that story about my sister is one of the events that stands out the most. The medium was a friend of a friend, a white woman in Zimbabwe who never made any money from her "gift", but just did it when she was in the mood if someone asked her to.
I'm skeptical about a lot of the people over here who claim to be able to contact the dead or have visions or predict the future or whatever simply because I don't believe there can be so many of them out there. I also find it amusing that such a high proportion of them seem to be of the "mad cat" variety who are slightly goth and live on their own surrounded by moggies. The mere fact that it's always women - apart from Derek Accora (spelling?) who's as camp as a row of pink tents on Brighton seafront, of course ...

Anyway .. enough already.
I can "feel" it's time for me to shut up about this
