Who was that other fellow, Maurice Grosse or something?
Although it's a well-known fact amongst paranormalists that Harry Price isn't well known in the realm of muggles, it's rather less well known that he blamed his lack of wider fame on his brother, Vincent, who stole the limelight by burning all the witches.

The two did team up however when they investigated the supposed devilish levitation of a young girl by peering up her nightie to see if there were any strings attached.

And from one kind of gross to another.

Maurice Grosse, of course, is well known for investigating the Harry Enfield Poltergeist case. But it's a little-known fact that he was left horribly scarred by his dabblings after his moustache was possessed by that of Terry Scouser's. During an unaired appearance on the Esther Rantzen show he was asked by the hard-headed sceptic Dr Chris 'It's-All-Greek-To-Me' French why on earth his moustache would come to be poltergeistedly possessed. Grosse responded with a twitch of his moustache, and in a high-pitched whine blurted out, "Dey do do dat dough don't dey dough", whereupon he departed this mortal plane. Rantzen was heard to sigh 'That's Life!' before scarpering off into the jungle somewhere.

Currently, Grosse's spirit, along with those of the Price brothers, has been conjured up to investigate claims of sick wizardry by some Harry Topper lad.

:lol: :lol: :lol: are you J.G in disguise?


JG edit: I don't think he is, but some pills have gone missing from my cupboard.
JG Double DOND edit: On second thoughts, I think we are probably the same person but just haven't realised it yet, which is basically what he/I said just back der den. Anyway he's/I's being more enjoyable with the random banter than me/him/ourself usually is, so I'll just leave us to it. Thankyou.

I'm not JG, and as far as I know he's not me.

Unless I'm the most oblivious host of a multiple ghoster poster disorder, the nature and magnitude of which neither I nor medical sceance is aware of, I'd say that we are two distinct spirits in the cybereal world ...










... at least he hopes I is. :? :shock:

I'm proud to say that I don't have the Sky but I take it that 201 is the Paranormal zone where the likes of Colin Fry peddle their pseudo-pap. However, I do have things called bookshelves (some people don't!) that creak under the weight of Rhine, Ellison, Wilson, etc. So far none of the shelves' books have mysteriously flung themselves off but in one of them, Urine Geller Fraud's autobiography, Uri: My Life, That Twat Randi, Football Nobbling, And How I Got Shafted By A Super-Alpha-Wave-Emitting Pokemon, page 0 is mysteriously bent. Very strange, I thought it was only spoons!

Many years ago I did give serious thought to going into parapsychological research as a form of fun remuneration - it turned out I just didn't have the moustache for it though.

Uri Geller sues Pokemon

'Uri Geller, a self-proclaimed psychic, has stated that he plans to file a £60m lawsuit against Nintendo alleging that the company used his likeness without permission for its Pocket Monster, Un-Geller.

Geller claims that in addition to the similarity in names and the character's psychic powers, its villainous role in the Pokémon story line is damaging to his image.

Geller plans to file the suit in Japan as well as in the US Hiroshi Imanishi, a Nintendo Director, stated "None of the Pokémon characters is given a name based on the image of any particular person." He added that names are thought up "by sifting through the knowledge of our staff."

I wouldnt give this person the time of day but knowing him he wouldnt need a watch as he could sense time.You dont need to be a pyschic to know hes a T...

Courtesy of MOTD, apparently Avshat Masel has never played for Barnet (along with Didier Dowell). Made me chuckle anyway.

Also, neither Matt Vinyl nor Cardinal Sin were in the Czech squad for Euro 2008.

I really must up my post rate, otherwise I will never feature in a question.

It's true. I announced my retirement from international football earlier that year due to a niggling hamstring injury.
