Right, where is that magnificently woo pic of me smoking a fag behind a blue filter? And what shall I make the punters do as well as paying me? Shall I be a generalised 'psychic' and guess what their problems are? Shall I be a flaps-reader (photograph your foof and send it to me)?

Actually, that could be any fortune teller's line "I sense that soon I will be rolling in dosh" not just e-bay fortune teller. As long as gullible people have money...

Well I was going to sign up to a premium-rate woo phone line but given that the landline is off at the moment and not going to be back on for a few weeks, I think I will do my wooing (so to speak) on Ebay instead. I already have a bit of a woo-peddling presence on there which I am morally OK with, so I think I will just expand it.

Question is, do I charge shitloads to make them think I must be brilliant, or low prices to make them think I must be sincere?

i don't get fortune teller, and people who are pysic or can message people behond the grave.

there are so many missing children, if they did have the power to do so, then why can they connect to find missing children

Lots of gullible people out there!

My father is married to a "medium". Apparently she sees everything from the future to the dead. (Needless to say that none of it is true IME.) She has a premium-rate number and also teaches all sorts of woo courses. This is her only job.

I'm in a pretty specialised field of IT. I'm a professional and make a very decent amount of money - she makes about three times as much as me per annum. Confused

Tell me something about myself SGB.

Something Nooooooobody else would know- my middle name?

MissV, you are an Unbeliever and also you are not sat in front of me with some helpful item like a keyring with your initials on, so the spooks and sprites say 'Now is not a good time to answer that question.'
