Talk about ESP, telepathy and strange stuff

On Saturday I will be giving an intimate talk in London on ESP and other psychic stuff.

New Quirkology video!

Hi there. We have just produced a new video containing 10 amazing bets that you will always win – hope that you enjoy it!

Mary Poppins and the science of sleep!

Yesterday I posted a new In59seconds video on Youtube, describing research showing that one of the best ways of falling asleep is actually to stay awake….

However, I had no idea that exactly the same idea crops up in Mary Poppins, and predates the research by over 40 years…..

Would you make a good agony aunt?

Here is another dilemma in need of your expert guidance…..

“I’m in my twenties and expecting my first child. However, since I became pregnant my partner seems to have completely lost interest in me. He is spending lots more time with his friends, and doesn’t tend to return calls and texts. I feel bored and lonely. Should I end the relationship and bring up our baby without him around?”

More advice needed…..

The other day I asked you to be an agony aunt.  It seemed to go down well and so here is another problem…..

“My partner and I have been together for seven years. My partner has said that before we met he was in love with another woman. At the time the woman wasn’t interested in him and she now has a partner. But my partner and the woman have started meeting for lunch, chatting on the phone and emailing. He says it means nothing but it upsets me. Should I tell him that he has to stop contacting her?
