Alrightie - but when's he going to try to contact GG Allin?

All that's going to happen is that the glass will spell out: "P-A-U-L-I-S-A-C-U-N-T". I'm not paying for that.

I wondered if you'd think this.. I guess you saw the PM I sent you

p.s. see you in London on Thursday..

[SARGE]

marvellous what they can do these days eh wot?

Have you noticed that they only bother with the (relatively) recent dead? Diana, Lennon...is there some sort of expiry date in the afterlife? Why don't they speak to Buddy Holly (resident for 44 years) or King Henry the Eighth (450 years) or Plato (2,350 years), or are they worried they'll have to much explaining to do?

I saw a televised seance they other night where they channeled the spirit of a long-dead celebrity. I think they called it 'Deal or No Deal'...

On the other hand when people regress to past lives it's always as Cleopatra or a Roman soldier or a Salem witch trial defendant...

Yes, nobody ever says "in my past life I was a shit-shovelling nobody", yet we know for a fact that in the past shit-shovelling was like IT Consultancy is to us today.

I've just had to interview a troop of these afterlife nutters, including one who does 'tranfiguration' - i.e the dear departed manifest themselves through his facial features; and a guy who talks to them on the phone. I went to see them perform, and on learning that someone's dad had died of emphysema the medium started wheezing and hacking out stuff like "I'm very proud of you". The dead seem to have very little of interest to say, apart from 'watch out around red cars' or ' look in the back of your wardrobe'. So I suppose John Lennon will tell us not to wear green on Thursday, or to imagine no possessions or some such bollocks.

Still, it will be interesting to hear what he's got to say after all these years. Mind you, last time he was out of the public eye for a while he came back with 'Double Fantasy' so maybe not.

I’ll be attending a special afterlife workshop soon featuring the weird crowd of table-tappers I mentioned earlier. I’ve already got some questions lined up for Eddie Barclay and Fela. Anybody else need any answers from beyond the grave?

[ginghamkitchen]

Yes, could you ask my Great Grandfather why he set fire to the family farm?

He says it was sad time for him, but you've turned out to be a smashing lad and he's proud of you. Fela warned me to check the brakes on my car or dem go break am and I go smash my head, before launching into a spectral,meandering 12 minute sax solo, and apparently there's a vulture whose name begins with 'J' who's 'surrounded by empty cups' and is in for a nasty shock this weekend.
