Do you believe they will publish it? Would be good but I somehow don't see it happening

Well, we can but try. And I've just noticed that Gary will be plunging into new depths of stupidity for his "Psychic Development Day" next week:
WTF?! This party game is hundreds of years old (it was mentioned by Samuel Pepys in his Diary and was known to medieval girls as "Flying St Katherine"). There is nothing mysterious about the levitation effect - when the weight of a human being is distributed between four people acting in unison, even if they use only two fingers each, he or she is easy to lift. Not only is Gary ignorant of the most basic physics, he's spreading ignorance and charging £45 per person for doing so. Other highlights of the day:
It's amazing how often a woo merchant can use the word "energy" without understanding what it means.
Who knows, you might end up - like Gary - with a Biblical character for your own personal guide. I believe Moses and Joseph of Arimathea are free at the moment. Or you may have to make do with an obscure Native American.
BAD GRAMMAR OVERLOAD...BAD GRAMMAR OVERLOAD...
Congratulations! You've learned how to extract £45 each from people with more money than sense!
What it all means is that the punters have wasted £45 each and a whole day in which they could have learned something new about the real world. I just hope they enjoyed their tea...
"Wisdom" will probably be of the vacuous New Age platitude variety.
If you're very lucky the spirits may even tap out a few well-known theme songs. Ask Gary for details!
And all this in 8 hours, not including a break for lunch!
I should be used to Gary's idiocy by now but I must admit to being staggered by his description of the old "Light as a Feather" game...

What a ridiculous statement! Does anyone have, or know of, an occupation in that a client would pay good money for nothing more than time? Perhaps an escort, but I cannot think of any more. Ooops! I think I may be in breech of their copyright: Sorry to the Panel of Unity of UK Psychic Surgeons.... or POOPS I mean PUUPS!

Apparently you can 'learn to see into the past'. Not heard of 'History' then, chaps?

Copyright? I thought Gary was above such things?!

you can quote any part of any site under the fair use clause, for edcational or entertainment purposes. You cannot use everything though unless its quoted.

So if you put something from another site on to your own it is OK as long as quotation marks are used. Or am I not understanding correctly?

I believe you just have to cite where the information is from. You can differentiate it by quotes or paragraphs or any other number of ways. It is not necessarily quotation marks.

Thank's I was thinking of starting a Blog, and being an old coger I wouldn't want to fall foul of the law due to my inexperience in these things.

The fair use clause exists to allow anyone to use content in a manner that fairly critques or lampoons the subject content. If there were no fair use clause then you could not comment about it legally. Samples are important to make your point, without providing evidences your notation is anecdotal in nature. Here is a quick explanation of Copyright Law and Fair Use, using Disney clips (and you know how letigious Disney is). It was made by Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University. Disney doesnt like it at all, but legally there is nothing they can do about it.
