Neil336 Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 Hey guys! Do you believe in Astrology? Found an article about gifts for the twelve zodiac signs boys. You may found something match you! May good for girls. If you are a boy, will you like the gift that suggested on that article?
Rincewind Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 No. I do not believe in fairies,Father Christmas or the Honey Monster either. Also I am a full grown adult.
Captain... Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 I think it is a load of bollox, but then I am a typical Taurus.
The Doctor Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 Astrology is complete and utter woo. What few falsifiable predictions it makes have been falsified: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8313026 It's simple barnum statements - things that are so vague they could apply to anything. To give you an example, I'll provide a daily horoscope with the sign left out and you see how many people it applies to, and how wide spread their birthdays are... A group of friends might want you to go out with them today, but you probably won't feel up to it. Your financial situation could also require a little belt-tightening now, so you may not feel you can justify the expense. In any case, you aren't going to want to spend the evening alone. Invite a friend or love partner over to watch a movie with you. See how encompassing the statements are? Financial situation requiring belt-tightening? Hmm - it's been 4 months since the last student loans installment, fairly sure that would apply to every bloody student, and while the economy has been picking up of late, it's still not the sort of money to burn economy we had back at the turn of the millennium, extroverts make up 1/2 to 3/4's the population, so not wanting to be alone is a fairly safe guess, and most all of the population will have groups of friends, all of whom lead their own lives and - particularly on a friday, people are want to be going out. Basically, much like cryptozoology, anti-vax, creationism and homeopathy, it's psuedoscientific nonsense and it's adherents are loons.

I was going to write a long post but instead i will just simply say 'This'
Rincewind Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 I know somebody who is into it. He says the paper astrologers are not genuine and reckons there is an art to it such as lining up the stars etc. But he also believes in a god so it means nothing.
Buce Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 No. I do not believe in fairies,Father Christmas or the Honey Monster either. Also I am a full grown adult. Really? Who's that bloke in the ermine trimmed red suit that we see every December then?
Rincewind Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 Really? Who's that bloke in the ermine trimmed red suit that we see every December then? Your dad.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 It's right up there with homeopathy for me
Guest MattP Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 No I don't. The only person who benefitted from it was Russell Grant, despite being his size he managed to get more cock than a Texan whore house.
Rincewind Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 No I don't. The only person who benefitted from it was Russell Grant, despite being his size he managed to get more cock than a Texan whore house. He knew where he was going to get it beforehand.
yorkie1999 Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 Well it never did patrick moore any harm and he made quite a bit of money out of it.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 I've always enjoyed reading aloud the horoscopes from the Sun and other quality publications. I find that they have greater meaning and resonance if read out in a thick Black Country accent. My other half, who hails from the West Midlands naturally finds this HILARIOUS
Trumpet Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 The thread title made me think instantly of this, enjoy.
Guest Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 no. But you can make good money out of it can't you OP?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 Why is everyone getting so uptight about a spambot?
Webbo Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 Why is everyone getting so uptight about a spambot? What else do you expect from Capricorns?
MooseBreath Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 I don't fully believe in it but concede there might be something in it. We are afterall all part of the same energy source. My grandma's doctor was always correctly guessing that she was a cancer, and one day he guessed that she only had two weeks to live and he was right so there you go.
cambridgefox Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 No I don't. The only person who benefitted from it was Russell Grant, despite being his size he managed to get more cock than a Texan whore house. Two things on Russell Grant,one I've mentioned before,but it's worth repeating. 1.Heard someone have a go at him once on the radio and he snapped back in his camp way " ooohhhhh Sagittarius " as if that was going to make the other guy go" yeah,you win,I've no comeback to that" 2.Dennis Pennis.Red carpet ,shouts Russell Grant over and says" can you read palms" and Dennis has " you fat cvnt" written on his! Genius.

Leicesterpool Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 I'm open minded to this kind of stuff a bit like the paranormal side of things.
Asha Posted 11 April 2014 Posted 11 April 2014 It must have been Russell Grant that I saw on some morning program earlier, talking about astronomy. I'm not sure what's worse, people calling in asking advice on what they should do in their relationship, based on the alignment of the stars or whatbollocks, or him strongly encouraging them to break it off because their star signs are unsuited. "Oooh, there's going to be a lunar eclipse soon and that's great news for Geminis!"
