Fullerene Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) An astrologer in Christchurch accurately predicted the last 5 election results in Canada, New Zealand, the USA, the UK and Australia. He claimed he read it in the stars. He was later convicted for fraud when they discovered he had a time machine.

MEADOWXI Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 11 hours ago, wellinwigan said: Danny la rue had a trial with East Stirling before he started dressing up in women's clothing Danny believed himself to be an excellent footballer and an agent that witnessed this trial signed Danny. Due to a misunderstanding in communcations Danny believed he had been signed and snatched away to play for CR Flamengo in Rio Brazil. In fact the agent had signed him for the Flamingos, an all male feathers and boa dancing carnival group for the Rio carnival. As they say, the rest is history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
