I am partaking in a part-time parapsychology course at Sheffield college - a completely new area for me - and require help.

Up to now we have studied the arts of: mind-reading, fortune telling, levitation, tele-portation, out of body anti-gravitational floating and, amongst other things, basic excorcism.

I am finding it very interesting - but next week we start on a new subject which is totally alien to me - time-travel.

So I am looking for forum members who can give first-hand accounts of this fascinating branch of parasycholology.

Thank you.

Sam.

I visited Rotherham on Tuesday night and was amazed to discover that i'd actually travelled back in time to the year 1979.

You should give Barnsley a try next. ;)

Chris.

Yes, thanks for that, Gents. The information I require, however, is not of the Retro-Neo 'Eyup Rotherhamithmic or Barnsleygerenic genre, that's down to the Sociologist Department.

I need genuine tales of jaunts into the past, the future, and indeed the present.

I briefly visited, and only very briefly may I add The 2nd of November 1750. it was awful. I didn't know where I was. It was bloody appalling. No food, no jobs, poverty, you name it, I saw it. Filthy. Disgusting

I asked my teacher what dimension we had visited when we got back. She said: " Sheffield in the present at ten-to-six on the 2nd of November".

Horrible.

I've just come back from the future and my advice is this: give up the course now becase your going to fail. Take up another hobby instead like beer mat collecting.
Seriously, if you don't know the difference between psychology and parapsychology you aren't going to get far.

Nomme

Oh, dear. I am going to fail, aren't I? I haven't been listening to what my teacher has been saying.

I have now decided to drop the course and require assistance for my new-founded parapsychological studies.

Do they do GCSE's?

Someone said they passed their's with a 'B' in two year's time, but I don't believe it.

The only place I know of you can actually study parapsychology is Edinburgh.
Here's their web site : http://moebius.psy.ed.ac.uk/
You'll have to ask them if they do GCSE's but I suspect the answer is no.
Stick to beer mat collecting. It's a great excuse to visit lots of different pubs and the mostly likely place for you to meet time travellers.

Nomme

Thanks, Nomme:

I have visited too many pubs in my time. And collected too many beermats! Oh, yes.

Must admit that I got the time travelling bug some years ago, 2035 I think it was.

As it happens, I'm off for a fortnight in 1066 tonight. I'll let you know what it was like when I get back last Sunday.

Keep away from Hastings, mark my words, it's not worth it.

Give me back my beer mats! ;)

I've just worked out what's going on.

It's obvious!

All those big lottery-winners and pools-winners, are in fact non other than time-travellers.

It's one big fiddle. Honest!

They get the winning numbers from next week, simply transport themselves back to now and smugly claim their money.

Hang on: perhaps it is one time-traveller who, like Doctor Who, change their appearance by trans-mutating or whatever they call it.

If that's the case, that person must be the richest person in the universe.

Just imagine being able to upgrade to large big Mac meal anytime you want without thinking! WOW!

Big, fat result in McDonalds film food test

By Sue Pleming
March 5, 2004 - 9:35AM

A US filmmaker was so intrigued by McDonald's claim its food was nutritious that he ate all his meals at the fast-food giant for a month.

The result? Eleven extra kilos, higher cholesterol and an award-winning documentary of his fast-food journey, Super Size Me: A Film of Epic Portions.

Morgan Spurlock hit the morning TV shows today to promote his film on surviving on a McDonald's diet, little more than a day after the company said it would end oversized portions by the end of the year.

His tongue-in-cheek look at America's obesity crisis illustrates the effects of gorging on fast-food fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"I felt terrible. You eat this food and you feel great immediately, but right after you get the McStomach aches, the McHeadaches -- you get depressed," the New York-based director said on NBC's Today show.

Spurlock, 33, said he first got the idea after stuffing himself with Thanksgiving dinner in 2002. He was lounging on the sofa at his childhood home in West Virginia when he saw a story about a lawsuit filed on behalf of two girls who claimed McDonald's caused their obesity. The suit was dismissed.

When McDonald's defended itself by saying its food was nutritious, Spurlock decided to test that claim.

"I thought if it's that good for me I should eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner," he told ABC's Good Morning America show.

When he began his McDonald's binge, he weighed 84kg. He ballooned to 95kg by the end. His cholesterol rose by 60 points.

McDonald's Super Size option, which includes a 198 grams carton of fries and a 1,190 gram fountain soda, has been targeted by critics as contributing to America's obesity crisis.

McDonald's, the world's biggest fast-food outlet, has given a cool reception to the documentary, which won an award at the Sundance Film Festival in January and is to be distributed across America later this year.

Spurlock said he had not intentionally picked on McDonald's but used it as a symbol for bad eating habits.

As part of his experiment, Spurlock accepted any offer made by servers of a mega-size portion.

"That thing is like four feet tall," jokes Spurlock in the documentary, referring to an outsize portion of French fries, which the company says contains 610 calories.

Asked whether he gained weight because he purposefully ate only high-calorie items, Spurlock said he went through the menu several times over and ate a salad about every 10th meal.

McDonald's says its menu has enough variety and range to fall within recommended guidelines for calories, fat and nutrients.

"But people don't go to these fast food restaurants for salads. They go for things that taste good -- the burgers, the fries, the sugary shakes, the giant sodas," Spurlock told NBC.

McDonald's said menu changes were not in any way linked to the movie but were rather to "support a balanced lifestyle".

Spurlock disagreed.

"This film had a tremendous impact on their decision to eliminate super-size portions and it is really going to have an impact on people who see the movie on how they see their own diet," he said.

Since going off McDonald's, Spurlock has lost about 9 kg but says the last couple are proving hard to shed.

I have met Doctor Who and all the other time travellers, but they have never heard of you, you must be pulling my P*****!!!

They won't know me, for I don't really exist.

Hi Sam,I am currently in the year 2075....the weather is nice and hot and sheffield is now a tropical haven.
I have just had my third heart,lung,liver,kidney and brain tripple bypass,and I must say I feel dam good.

Nobody works in 2075 (no change there then) all the worlds troubles have been eradicated since the removal of America from the globe.
There are no classes everyone is equal (waiting for incomming) and we bask all day in the warm sun under our glass domes.

Dam Ive just realised im in Centre Parcs....I can loan you my time deviation transporter anytime,but you must promise never to got to june 1st 2050.

June 1st 2050?? Ok. I won't even try to get there. It doesn't sound like a great date anyway. Does Cleethorpes still exist where your at?

Yes Cleethorpes is still here,its now the seat of of our new government (S Club 15) and major power in what was once Europe (now called UKrope).

I have been introduced to the new plasma television implant,so I can watch my 22 million channel tv by just thinking the images innto my artificial diode brain.

Famine is no longer an issue as we all gain nutiants from the air we intake into our gills.

well must dash now as im off to see the great war of 2099.

I really wouldn't bother with the 2099 war. It's boring as it is fought solely using peashooter warfare.

All weapons and ammuntion were banned and disposed of on Mercury in 2088.

Incidentally, don't you really mean: 'catch ya earlier'?

yes it was catch you earlier,but I said it later before i said it,so when you saw it,it was later.

Ill stay away from 2099 then.

Yes, I see what you mean now. I am a silly bugger. If you want somewhere interesting to go: go to 2109 next.
