has anyone on here ever had their fortune told? and if so, what did it say?

i had my tarot cards read ages ago at uni. i found it quite vague and inconclusive though. then in thailand i got my astrology chart done at a temple which was famous for it. he told me i would start becoming successful from 27 onwards. i'm still waiting...

i know it's a load of baloney most of the time but i still can't help but be fascinated by stuff like this. anyone else?

I like all that stuff too.

Nonsense, yes. But you know. Not everything is explicable and to just cast aside knowledge from the past unthinkingly is never a good idea, even if it does seem primitive now.

What's wrong with me?

Had the crystal balls, had the cards, had the funny sticks waved around, had odd women pass me notes on the tube. They all basically sad I was amazing and that I didn't get on with my father. They also hinted that at one point I might meet a bloke.

LIES ALL OF IT. I am clearly shit, love my father to bits and have never met a bloke EVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I'd rather get someone on here

to predict my future for the next few years. It's as likely as any of that mumbo-jumbo to be true.

I'm seeing...

I'm seeing...

something....

round...

a...

a...

It's a pie.

I'm definitely seeing a pie.

See?

Mystic Rogers - Never knowingly wrong, since 2007.

there will be cider involved.

next?

And his sidekick

Mystic 'Trip.

I'm going to get a robe made.

Maroon velvet.
And I'm going to need some kind of staff.
See you in a bit.

Mystic Trip!?

You stinking great hippy!

He may killer you for that

:-o

i like Mystic 'Trip

although I can't help but think I'd be more interesting if i was Mystic Tramp - the hobo who drinks strongbow super, spits on your shoes and predicts the future!

it is fascinating but i don't know

whether i believe in it or not.

my aunt does peoples charts and things and is properly into it, she told me a lot of stuff which rang true but... i dunno.

i'd be a bit scared to get my fortume done tho.

why, they're not

allowed to say anything bad are they?

are they not? ha!

maybe i'll do it one day then.

don't think so

definitely not you're going to die SOON! y'know, things like that.

oh ok!

maybe i will then. i was always apprehensive about it but it would probably be quite fun.

Yeah, there's a kind of fortune-tellers' code

They're not supposed to reveal bad news unless you ask them to.

My ex's mother

paid for me to get my tarot cards read in august or some similar time.

It was quite good, and surprisingly accurate. The whole "Someone who seems like an important part of your life now will have ties with someone who will teach you things about yourself in the future. They will also - I'm not trying to worry you - set challenges and disrupt your way of living."

This is the ex who recorded the new boyfriend's (who has changed my perception of things/myself rather greatly) old band or something, and took to stalking me after dumping me in a rather crude manner.

There was loads more about academic achievement and hectic family life, but i can't remember. I have the session recorded somewhere..

I don't think I'd like to hear any of it

because I'd make silly connections in my mind and drive myself nuts for a while.

Isn't a lot of it very vague anyway?

tarot is quite vague

it's all about exploring different options and possibilities so in effect it doesn't really tell you much at all.

at the end of the day it's a fun thing to do. i think i'd be too scared to go to a physic tho...

Someone you once

met, who may have a connection with a car of some kind, will say kind words to you in the near future. And be aware of family ties - not necessarily your own - as they could spell trouble if the weather is not good. I see a link to some shopping, you will find good fortune if you shop with a light heart and an open mind. Keep on the path you currently tread, but be aware that the pavement may be home to dog poo...

I'm all yours

I can supply my own crystal ball as well.

you want me to go shopping?

DONE

I am a corrupt tarot dude. I have shares in TopShop.

Get us a pastie while you're out, will you? Cheers.

you want me to eat a pastie?

mmmMMMmmmm...pasties....

I've had four tarot readings

and one of them also interpreted my aura photograph (this is all for my job). The readings varied in accuracy - there were a couple of predictions that came true in two of them, including a reshuffle at work, and a few details that they got right. Nothing spectacular, but getting a good feeling about a reading is partly about the medium's manner - there was one that I didn't take to at all, and she said afterwards that it wasn't the best reading she'd done - there has to be some kind of rapport.

There was one woman that was rubbish though. She said - as well as "I'm picking up that you're in your twenties", when I was sitting right opposite her- that I was going to marry my current girlfriend, have children, buy a house and get a new car, all in the next couple of years. I thought at the time "Well, my girlfriend doesn't like kids, and has stated that she never wants to live with me". And now we've split up. And I don't drive.

I had one of those

aura-photo thingies aswell! But this was when i was 10 or so. It was all red apart from a blue bit on my chest. Apparently it meant i was an angry child and somewhat upset.

I think she got this from the fact i was shouting and crying minutes beforehand.

you have a job

where you get sent out to tarot readings?

what do you do??

ohh, cool

give us a job!

i am actually a journalist not just some new age groupie. :P

You

are? Could you read my palm?

http://tinyurl.com/ygpbp6

why?

are journalists meant to be able to read palm trees??

damn

so, that's where i've been going wrong...

Yeah, it's quite easy when you knnow how.

This one's saying "Watch it, Richards, I'll get you next time..."

I need a new job

I'm an editor though apparently. I could bring a healthy dose of cynicism and no knowledge of the job at all.

Sounds

like you should be working in my office. What are you like at bitching about what people that walk past your desk are wearing?

Now THAT I can do

Seriously, have you seen what Michelle is wearing?! She thinks she's all 'ethnic' with them damn beads. One trip to Brixton does not qualify you in Caribbean culture, you fat beady slut.

You're

hired. You can sit next to Sam and Martine, I can see you all getting along just fine

Haha

that's really funny. I saw a programme on physics or fortune tellers once, and it was a load of bollocks.

I'd

recommend reading the Derren Brown book, and then deciding on how much you believe in mystics and fortune telling an the like.

Not that it told me anything I didn't suspect anyway, however I am definitely someone that believes. Believes it all to be a big pile of dog toffee, that is

i saw

a bit of his show over xmas where he lay face down on broken glass.

OUCH!

bamos is your craft called

dentomancy?
Never heard of it before but would be suprised if it hasnt been used.

When Mrs Knees last lived in london, she had created her own tarot cards with titles such as 'shopping' and 'chocolate' she was much in demand for readings in the squatter community (naturally she did not charge.
Although she does not believe in mumbo jumbo, she had to afdmit that it does have some success (allowing for the vagueness...its probably somehting about the discipline of rweading the cards means that your conciousness is distracted allowing your subconcious to be able to 'read' the clients posture/underlying demaenor
i.e its just a techniques that allows 'ordinary/less skilled people to use the techniques (sometimes without knowing this is what is happening) that someone like derren brown uses.

Hello, I have come back

after a long long journey elsewhere.
I have a message from beyond, it is for someone called 'Broth'?
Broth99? or is it chowder101, I couldnt quite get it right, its not very clear anyway 'Broth 99' I have a message, you must make yourself clearer, you must put let people se your true image on your profile pic, put up your true name, if you dont people might mistake you for a man......or a woman, the spirits were not clear on your gender

I had my done and she

told me I was going to get into trouble. I told her you're right as I don't have any money to pay you.

Here all day folks, here all day

If you insist

I was having a meal out with my sister the other day, chicken dopiaza, pilau rice and a peshwari nan. I told her I shouldn't be eating this with what I've got. 'What's that?' she replied. 'A fiver' I said.

More jokes about doing stuff whilst not having much cash might be posted later. Keep 'em peeled.
