    On the Marian Finucane show in a debate with the skeptics society a few years back I had predicted Bertie Aherne breaking up with Celia Larkin, and said she would go out with someone younger than her (true).Even the skeptics were shcocked by that one.

    I sadly can't find any note on the Irish Skeptics website expressing shock, and since the outcome (of the prediction) would not have been known (at the time of the radio program) maybe the shock was just that the prediction was made at all?

    Maybe she was just reporting on the fact that she had made a prediction and it came true, however that's hardly enough to shock a skeptic is it?

    So which Skeptic was shocked, when and by what?

    By "sceptics" I feel she means "those who says I don't have magic powers".

    Really, I've decided not to apoligise and get rid of the paranormal forum ban, because I know the instant I could post again I'd be out to prove that woman as the nonesensical charlatan that she is. Don't be shocked if she keeps spouting half truths and blatant lies.

    EDIT: Not to mention egotistical and quite clearly possessing somethig akin to narrcisstic personality disorder, or at least narccisstic compensatory personality type... Ok thats my flamy bit done...

    She clearly mentions the "skeptics society" and there is a link to the radio show in question, so when she says the skeptics were shocked, clearly she means the skeptics representing the Irish Skeptics Society on that day:

    Paul O'Donoghue, David Moore of Astronomy Ireland, Brendan Purcell, a philosopher at UCD and Tony Scott from the UCD physics department.

    I'm just wondering which one was shocked and why.

    I know three of them personally. I dont think they were shocked bt I could ask. I predict they werent! Shocking isnt it?
