A Gentlemen's Bet

Skeptic_Desu

I wager that no psychic or medium can tell me the full name of my deceased paternal grandfather. There are only two ways to find this out a) research my identity and background pretty extensively or b) actually use supernatural abilites. An exact first and last name is the only thing you cannot get by cold reading or guessing.
Anyone who can tell me my grandfather's name shall win a gentleman.

Nope.
You did read the part where I said it couldn't be guessed, right?

But you guys must seriously want that gentleman.

Nope, I do indeed have a deceased paternal grandfather. All my other grandparents are thankfully alive and well.

Because we could do with a gentleman in Skeptics corner.

Anyway to get back to your grandpa....
Sure I remember him well, and how we used to stroll down Sackville street together of an evening. Fondly I recall how Dinny (that was my pet name for him) got down on one knee at Nelson's Pillar and asked me to marry him. But I, being psychic, could glimpse the future and could see Skeptic Desu glowering at me through the mists of time.
"It can never be, Dinny," I cried as I hopped on a tram.
"But whyever not?" he wailed.
"It's your grandson," I shouted above the noise of the tram. "He is going to take a skeptic stance on the Boards!"
"What!" he bellowed, running after the tram shaking his fist. "No grandson of mine will turn into a poncey actor!"

And I never saw him again.

The question was: what was his name?
What has this ramble to do with anything?

So all of the claimed psychics here can only do what can be replicated by cold reading?

i havent fathomed the whole psychic thing. derren brown does a great psychic impression yet he uses showmanship .. etc etc. I'd say if psychics exist, they are as rare as hens teeth.
