You may not be aware of this but he is a season ticket holder at White Hart Lane and has been an avid Spurs fan all his life.

I am aware of this because I read his god-awful piece about Muamba. You know, when one of our players nearly died on the pitch, which he witnessed, and used it to have a pop at people who leave teddy bears where children have died.

RT, you or I could have written that piece in today's newspaper. There was nothing insightful or interesting or original about it.

people from the past still exist too,this is not a wind up either. I once owned a house in the country it stood alone with few neighbours. One night I fell asleep sitting up in bed reading with the bedside lamp on. At about 2am I woke with a start and my neck was stiff with the position I was in and I was still holding the book. I saw a monk walk through the left wall and past my bed and out through the righ hand wall. I knew I was awake and it was no dream or trick of the light.and it was not in any way scary. Story short I went to the library and discovered the house was built on the site of an old monastery.

Don't be harsh on yourselves ! I find some of your stuff eminently readable, even if it isn't interesting, original, or insightful.

AD, i agree with you,and thats a whole new thread waiting to be opened.

No disrepect to Angry Dad in particular, but when people tell me they've seen a ghost, I automatically think "bullshit". I'd have to see one myself to believe they exist, no amount of empirical evidence will convince me they exist.

I can give you examples of not 'seeing' a ghost, but certainly being aware of when a spirit was directly behind me. Also, some hard facts concerning the haunting of my cousin in Wales some years ago, which was supported by the church, the society in London (who's name I forget, possibly Paranormal or Paraspsychology), who came and photographed the image of the spirit. and the eventual relocation of the family from the house due to items being thrown about the living room. They even managed to discover who the spirits were, and the cause of the problem. Also, what happened to my sister, in America, when my mum died in the UK.They do exist, but not everyone is aware of them.

Forgot to mention, the church exorcised the spirits, but to no avail.

I doubt you've ever seen a fanny, but I assure you they exist.

There again, we've known you a while now

Yes, a big one is manager of Bolton Wanderers.

I don't know what you came into this world out of, but I came out of a fanny.

So you remember being born? Don't answer that, I'm sure you'd claim to remember your conception if it pissed a few people off.

on form today BH

Seconded.
People love to point at anecdotal evidence as though it constitutes real world evidence. It is something that bugs me more than anything else. People use it to back up psychics, alternative remedies, ghosts, aliens - you name it. It all bollocks (in my opinion based on what I know but I would never be so closed minded to say none of it is possible as I am not master of the universe - but I am pretty satisfied that most of it - perhaps all is utter tosh)

Jayjay, I've never found the need to make such things up, nor do I lie, and the examples I mentioned previously are for real. Just because you have either a closed mind, or little real-world exsperience, (son't mean you personally), doesn't mean that these things dont exist, or happen. People really shouldn't be so hasty to condemn such things. Never had 'deja-vu', or known something just before it happened, or somethng happening very much like a dream you had? Maybe I'm wrong, but I reckon all these things are real, and connected, the only mystery is that we don't yet know how they all join up, or how and why they manifest themselves in certain ways. I always try to keep an open mind, unless its about Bolton and Owen Coyle

The one thing i don't respond well to is when middle aged women at work who live alone with 34 cats tell me they can "see my aura"

How can you say "being aware of a spirit behind me" is something I should be expected to believe or else be told I am closed minded. I think you will find the onus is upon the person making the extraordinary claim to produce extraordinary proof - not the other way around. Otherwise I may tell you that I believe a teapot orbits the moon - and I would expect you to believe me.

Jayjay, there are some things that aren't provabole with the black and white evidence that you prefer. I won't continue trying to prove something that you have already decided doesn't exist. I shall carry on with my view of life and its mysteries, and you can live in your black and white one. I see no point in conversing with you, if you prefer to talk about teapots and the moon. By the way, I'm probably as cynical as you are, but I have actually seen such things happen.

Did I say I remembered being born you half-wit? Just because I don't remember it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
