wordsfromlee Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 It still blows my mind that Uri Geller has made a nearly 45 year career purely off the back of pretending to be able to bend spoons with his mind. He still to this day refuses to admit it’s all bollocks. Fair play to his commitment to the con. Quote
Paid Members Tommy! Posted December 20, 2019 Paid Members Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) To be fair to him he does hold a spoon, use mental powers and look a right cunt, so there's at least 3 things in common. Edited December 20, 2019 by Tommy! Quote
Paid Members ElCece Posted December 20, 2019 Paid Members Posted December 20, 2019 The character is also called Yungerrer in Japan as which you would hazard is derived from his name as well. Only a step below DeludedTwatemon Quote

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 21, 2019 Paid Members Posted December 21, 2019 The episode of Johnny Carson he was on was great. Where Johnny's had all his gimmicks under lock & key for the day and Uri isn't feeling very strong that day. I'm surprised he didn't go after Westwood studios over Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Quote

For all the dedication Geller has, Randi has pretty much matched it in exposing him as a fraud. The James Randi documentary, An Honest Liar, is well worth a watch! Quote
Grecian Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Uri Geller was briefly an Exeter fan and ended up being co-chairmen during our dark, dark, darkest days of Michael Jackson, owners going to prison and relegation to the Conference. He once, during another relegation battle, decided to help by putting some 'positive energy crystals' behind one of the goals at St James Park. Half time, we were one up (goal scored at the crystals end), all was good. Second half, we conceded five and lost 5-1. According to Geller, it was not his fault, it was the City fans for 'not thinking positively enough'. He's not welcome at SJP any more. Quote
Steve Justice Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 TIL that Daffney of WCW fame and Nicola Appleton from All Saints shared screen time as extras in 1985 Christmas film Santa Claus The Movie. They were both ballerinas. Quote

I distinctly remember asking my mum what the phrase meant and she had to look it up. I couldn't believe her because why wouldn't Skywarp be purple? Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted December 24, 2019 Members Posted December 24, 2019 The Thong Song was originally offered to Michael Jackson before Sisqo but he turned it down. Same with Baby One More Time and TLC. The voice on SWV “Right Here (Human Nature Remix)” at the start saying S...W...V is Pharrell Williams. Quote

My favourite Sisqo fact is that he did a sitcom pilot with Bob Newhart. I don't think it's ever surfaced though. Quote

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 1, 2020 Paid Members Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) TIL Hi De Hi is a period piece set in 1959 -1960. I genuinely thought this was a portrait of early 80s Britain. As Simon price pointed out on Twitter, it makes no fucking sense for Paul Shane's character to be an ageing Teddy Boy. Edited January 1, 2020 by gmoney Quote
