Re: Missing in Dubai - timmy maccoll, sailor
I used to think like that, and to be fair anyone profiting from fortune telling I would be skeptical about. There is something though, and I had it proven to me.
I lived in a shared house in 2000 and one of the girls there was best friends with a Solicitor who had a 'gift'. She never spoke about it or charged people for telling fortunes etc but she did work with and help West Yorkshire police.
She came to my house whilst I was out and was sat with one of the guys who lived with us who was giving it the "It's a load of bollocks" talk and he asked her to prove it - So she did and he freaked out.
My part of the story was a week later when I asked (After a few beers) what she had said, she explained it and I asked her if there was anyone with me - she said yes.
I asked her who and she described my grandfather to a tee, the Jewellery he wore even down to the fact he has a long red drink in his hand, not red wine something different. My Grandfather was the only person I know in the world that drunk Campari.
There is something, I can't explain it. But you are right, all these 'Romany' bollocks at the seaside are nothing but crooks.

I do agree with you, majority of this palm reading, fortune telling and medium stuff is a load of bo***ks, but there is a very small percentage that is intriguing. Bit like the Ouija board thing, I heard a lot about it and what happens. I thought it was all a load of c**p until we tried it with some mates at the Uni halls over 15 years ago. Never will I try it again or even enter that same room, even if I was offered large sums of money. Call it what you like, mind over matter or physics/ science in action, it freaked us all out to the core.

Could it not have been that the girl who you lived with saw a photograph of your Grandfather somwhere and told this geezer the description?

Hasbro own the patents to ouija boards, which tells you pretty much everything you need to know.

Well.
My theory is that he ended up in trouble with a Russian bloke. Big gang boss type. He's currently working as his chauffeur until he has paid off his debt.

Looking at it now. There's more info on here than there is on their fb page!
17 weeks now - 4 months.
But on a positive note they do now have 4500 sigs on their petition...
The phrase "Grasping at Straws" comes to mind.
I'm guessing the family haven't had the "We'll bribe you to shut up" phone call yet.

Video
One small problem, I'm currently in Germany and can't see it as the music isn't licensed here. Curious to know whether it can be seen in Dubai?

I've sent the video to a few celebrities on Twitter hoping that they will retweet.
