funny you should say that, i was reading over the weekend that some psychic did some research with the nolan sisters to prove that you CAN actually know who's phoning you when the phone rings.

true story

Telephone telepathy

One of the most commonly reported forms of telepathic experience is telephone telepathy. This is where you 'know' who is calling you on the phone before you answer.

Rupert Sheldrake devised a series of trials to prove that telephone telepathy does exist, and found a success rate statistically higher that the results you could expect through chance.

In Are You Telepathic?, Dr Sheldrake carried out the experiment on the five Nolan sisters, reportedly the closest sisters in show business. One of the sisters, Colleen, was taken to a hotel at a distance from the other four, and had to guess which sister was calling without speaking to them. The results showed that 50% of the time, Colleen guessed correctly which sister was calling. This is one of the highest results Sheldrake gained out of more than thousand tests!

The lyrics to Stayin' Alive could have been written by the Clash. They sound so punk. "I've been kicked around since I was born" and "life going nowhere, sombody help me".

CouLd be worse, you could be a Nana Mouskouri fan! Now that's CHEESE!

True, and didn't The Undertones try to "cash in on the troubles" in '81, just as their career was going tits up?

You mean "It's Going to Happen" which they wrote about the hunger stikes. Mickey Bradley changed Damian O'Neill's lyrics to make it look less obvious what the song was about.

It wasn't just the Undertones who slagged SLF off but other Belfast bands like Rudi and Ruefrex. Some Belfast punks thought that SLF were a heavy metal band jumping on the punk bandwagon.
