I don't want another question, I want an answer to my question.
Telepathically will do.

.....
Is this telepathy?'"
No, the sudden movement of their head in your peripheral vision to look at you is picked up by your fight or flight detector equipment, which is hard wired to that part of the brain from your optic nerve, bypassing your visual cortex. Your conscious mind is concentrating on the road ahead, but your unconscious mind picks up the "threat" and reacts to it.

| If a person who can see into the future can see that they are going to suffer harm and then they change their plans and, hence, don't suffer harm, that means it doesn't happen.
If it didn't happen, how could they have foretold it?

When I was at college I worked a weekend job at B&Q and they were great with me so might be worth applying there if they have any vacancies.'"
indeed, i used to work at McD - when I asked for time off for study leave for my A'Levels the manager laughed and said something like "why's tha want to do a'levels when tha can work here forever."

Hull needs to be partitioned off from the rest of us, really, doesn't it?

| Why is the Sin Bin chat thread used solely by the same two or three people to say nothing other than "morning"?

Not according to Wiki "Pikelet, an alternative name for a crumpet" & "In England, there is also a regional variant of the crumpet called the pikelet. It is usually made from the same batter as a crumpet, but the way in which it differs from a crumpet varies from place to place. In some parts of England (for example in the Midlands, around Wolverhampton) a pikelet is simply a crumpet without holes. In other parts (for example, Lancashire) it has holes, but is wider, thinner and more irregular than a crumpet because it is made without being restrained by a mould, and so spreads in the pan (or griddle) while cooking.[5]"

sorry, you (and Wiki) are wrong, they are different things.

Women also tend to have a wider angle of vison than men, although men can usually see further than women. All apparently goes back to the female nesting instinct and constantly looking out for predators, while the men are out hunting for dinner
