Ok, all you mediums out there. I'm presuming you can conduct a reading without the person being present? Give me a reading. You know my date of birth (from my profile), and my first name, and where I currently live. From that, what can you tell me that you couldn't from a trip to Sheffield City Library? Don't worry about the privacy aspect, I'm fine with you telling the world.

You can probably guess that I'm a bad-tempered old git and a few other things besides, but seriously, I'm challenging you to impress me. I'll give you marks out of ten and a bit of feedback - if you want it.

Open to all mediums. Go on. I dare you...

my spider-sense is tingling... i feel hmmmmmmm... that you live close to me? perhaps hmmm...

no more than a mile away? :P

Sorry I'm a large!:hihi:

Well I'm actually a medium but the joke didn't work!

Hi Ant Brenda would love to do you a reading, she is willing even to give you a discount. But does not give free online readings as you will find that no self respecting Medium would. So she could do one at your home or hers all details can be found at

Also theres a rarther good book you could read called Medium on Trial by Manfred Cassirer isbn 190067100-x a realy good read.

Thanks again:D

No self respecting Medium would do any sort of reading when there is the possibility of them looking foolish.

Would you expect a mechanic to come around and give you a free service just because some one said there good. These people do this for a living. When was the last time some one gave any thing free.

Was that a response to me?

If so I didn't mention anything about a free reading.

Sorry but this is what I see this thread is. It reminds me of the witch trials. :(

Sorry for misinterpriting you :)

On a lighter note.
woman goes to the local psychic in hopes of contacting her dearly departed grandmother. The psychic's eyelids begin fluttering, her voice begins warbling, her hands float up above the table, and she begins moaning. Eventually, a coherent voice emanates, saying, "Granddaughter? Are you there?"

The customer, wide-eyed and on the edge of her seat, responds, "Grandmother? Is that you?"

"Yes granddaughter, it's me."

"It's really, really you, grandmother?", the woman repeats.

"Yes, it's really me, granddaughter."

The woman looks puzzled, "You're sure it's you, grandmother?"

"Yes, granddaughter, I'm sure it's me."

The woman pauses a moment, "Grandmother, I have just one question for you."

"Anything, my child."

"Grandmother, when did you learn to speak English?"
lmao

Who can you laugh at if you carnt laugh at yourself:D

Can I suggest that any mediums take the James Randi challenge, there is $1 million prize, so they don't have to "work" for free....

Why wouldn't any self respecting medium do readings over the net?
I ask because there is a similar argument with regard to tarot readings and of late I have started experiementing to see if this is because why people say or if it is the same clap

There's a distinction between self respecting and professional. Yes, any professional would be fairly daft to offer their services free to anyone, just because they were curious.

I was referring more to online readings as opposed to free.

Surely anyone with any amount of self-respect would choose a different career than doing gullible people over for money.

Nearly as good as being a funeral director. Endless supply of customers.

If you've lost someone close and just been paid out on the life insurance. What better way of getting through your grief (and money) than to pay some charlatan.

I think Mediums are the lowest form of scum. Most charge through the nose for a clever bit of mind-trickery. The people I knew from college who went on to taking up this sort of crap were always the same...

Trying so damn hard to be different. One minute they're in Pringles and Farah, the next they're dressed up like Robert Smith and everything stinks of Joss Sticks.

If you ask me, they all need a good dose of National Service. Bloody glassback weirdoes.

Derek Acorha??? Actually this may answer my questions as to why mediums don't

Mods may want to delete the reply on Old Towers thread is it's virtually repeated.

But does not give free online readings as you will find that no self respecting Medium would.


Hmm, not quite sure what to read into that, Biker. Is it because it's free, or because it's online? Why would a medium NOT want to demonstrate her abilities online? They would have my full permission to divulge information of a personal nature. And it would bring extra trade in for them - I've yet to meet one that doesn't charge.

In my opinion, no self-respecting medium would charge fifteen-or-so quid for giving intuitive advice. I've had many, many sittings with mediums, none of whom have charged under fifteen quid, whose advice has been verbal garbage. I may as well have given the money to charity. The trouble is, every time I tell people this, there's always one person that chips in with "ah, but I know a real medium, Ant. This one's genuine, mate. And she only charges fourteen fifty." So I go along, and lo-and-behold! ...garbage.

I'm not saying your girlfriend is not the real mcCoy, but I aint throwing my income away on any more mediums on anyone's recommendation (esp. the boyfriend's!!)

Just thought we could drop the charges, and test them all out in full public view. I honestly didn't expect any takers. If they are indeed garbage, the whole of the forum would see it. Crash n burn, baby. Not good for the career. lol

And it's NOT a witch hunt, Moon Maiden seems to be with me on this. :hihi:

Hi Moony Brenda does do online readings but not free readings and I wouldn't want her doing a reading for YPS seeing we are Exmembers of said group. I just don't think it wouldn't befare.

I live near bottom of Birley Spa, near Hogshead Pub :) those those houses like the ones on dyke vale?

Finnegans, I think they're called. Square blocks of crud. But very spacious inside. Much like, many have said before, my head.

You live near the Hog's Head? Can you pick me up a stolen dvd player? I have the money.

Whoa, hold on there, buddy. Just because I have the YPS logo as my avatar doesn't mean I'm posting on behalf of the group. I've never met you or your girlfriend before. It could be a SWFC avatar but it wouldn't mean I'm representing their players.

We're all aware that 99% of mediums charge for their service - I wasn't asking for a free reading because I'm a miser, simply as a little test for ALL mediums. If your girlfriend doesn't want to conduct a simple test because she wants paying for it, that's fine.

If you'd like me to pay her and then conduct the reading online, how's that sound? In the interests of science? I'm sure there's dozens of forum members that would love to find a true, accurate medium without trawlling through the trash and spending all their money in the process. Consider it an investment. She could pick up some custom by taking part and giving a good reading.

And if not me (because I'm a member of a group you once were a member of), then read for my missus. She's an honest woman, would certainly be up for it (ooh, matron), and would be very honest in her rating. Or perhaps there's someone else on here that would be willing?

Im posting this not Brenda you have read my views I think its a witch hunt and that is my opinion. And no she will not be doing a reading on Sheffield Forum as she has nothing to prove to you are anyone. And no she is not scared of being proved Wrong if you want a private reading fine go through her web site. I will not be posting any more regarding this subject. :(

Bikertek, take a chill tablet, you're overheating.

Please note that the thread title is "Attn ALL mediums", not "Attn Bikertek's girlfriend"

This just happened to follow on from a thread where we were discussing your formation of a Sheffield-based paranormal group utilising a medium, which I've already given my opinion on in the Old Tower thread.

All I was asking is that any mediums out there that were up for a challenge by placing their talents under public scrutiny were welcome to take part. As I said earlier, I expected not one reply from a Sheffield medium. Still waiting.

Oh, and...

she will not be doing a reading on Sheffield Forum as she has nothing to prove to you are anyone.

If she's charging, she most certainly has everything to prove. I've never met a medium who gives a moneyback guarantee. If I were buying a cd player, I'd expect the thing to work.

I personally have met two mediums I will respect with giving them their proper title...one of them happens to be Brenda.

I cannot comment on her abiltiies as a medium but I can comment on her as a person and I can and do speak very highly of her. The other medium freaked me out and until I pin him down and interrogate him again I guess I won't be speaking much.

Biker I really do not think this is a witch hunt at all..people have their opinions and feelings on this. I have just had a slanging match..sort of..with a guy who claims to run a ghost busting outfit :rolleyes: I asked the same thing..to convince me of it. My main objective being that I do not wish to advertise charletons to the customers at my shop. A healthy amount of skepticism is a good thing.

I wouldn't do a public reading mainly cos 1. I would be embarrased and 2. I am not wholey confident of my abilties in the line of Tarot. I have recently done an online reading as an experiement to see if it could be done and I scared myself as well as the person reading...as they were skeptical it would work too.
