Not true, **fish** , you can post and think something completely different. > [@fishbicycle](#): > > This will be overstatin’ the obvious, but posts to this thread are unnecessary if you already knew what we were about to say! “What? Doesn’t he know that that’s a contradiction? I mean he’ll know what we’ll be thinking right away, so why bother to post? 🙂 Still an interesting idea thought. Anyway, what time is it…I’m feeling tired.” ---

Oh, what’s this? A mind reading thread? I’ll give it a go!” _sigh_ _No_. …wait. You hit on two things. I think you are picking up on my brainwaves. Try harder! You hit on hungry, and cold - neither of which I am right now. But you came closer than any self-proclaimed “psychic” has! Hooray! 😃 ---

So I suppose you got the ‘Okay’ bit spot on - and when you quote me in your Psychic World Of The Strange Newsletter, you can just put _Mangetout said: “…spot on…”._ ---
