Rapidly changing the subject from Madminge...

...psychic mediums.  Okay, that's not fair, obviously I understand the appeal of mediums for the distraught bereaved, what I don't understand is the appeal of letting them walk about unimprisoned.  There's a medium stage show on TV at the moment, and everytime i flick past it I just want to kick their lying fucking heads in.  It's fraud, the most evil manipulative fraud imaginable.  They should be in jail.  It's just that simple.  
Sometimes love is wondering if you trapped an innocent person.

Madge is hugely popular on the scheiße essen circuit thanks to that image...

Yeah, I think mediums are nasty and cruel preying on the weak and distraught.  I couldn't care less if they're not being paid, it's vile and evil.

I think Charlie Brooker's description of psychics as 'grief-raping bastards' is about right
I was going to procrastinate but I think I'll leave it till tomorrow

Yup. One of the few things that can move me to genuine anger is seeing these lying fucking cunts plying their stinking trade in fleecing the emotionally fragile.

that's one of the fun things of watching The Mentalist as he discribes all their wee tricks or takes some Charlatan down a peg or too...

and leave Madge alone that will be you one day   
No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of.

I will NOT resemble Madge.  EVER.  Michael Winner maybe.  Peter Stringfellow, perhaps.  But, short of forced gender reassignment, never Madge.

Forced Gender Reassignment?  There's a Dredd story in there somewhere....

Simon and Garfunkel.

These pair have caused quite abit of grief chez Mikey. I just can't stand the whiney, safe fucking pretension of the music. I can't help but put it into a context where if you had the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Bob Dylan and Black Sabbath - why the fuck would you be drawn to these tossers?

Mrs Mikey loves them  ::)

Mmmm... Art Garfunkel is right up himself, but I do think that Paul Simon may be a genius.
