Your Astrological Week Ahead, With Psychic Bob

Sagittarius (22 NOV-21 DEC)
This week you complete your novel about a dejected historian who becomes convinced that inanimate objects and emotional situations encroach on his ability to define himself. It needs a car chase.

Capricorn (22 DEC-19 JAN)
If music be the food of love, play on. No. Wait a minute… my leg’s in the wrong place… ow, ow, OW. Okay – play on.

Aquarius (20 JAN-19 FEB)
There’s nothing that says ‘date night’ like a van with the windows blacked out.

Pisces (20 FEB-20 MAR)
A week after poking the Duchess of Cornwall in the ribs with a stick you get a phone call from Clarence House asking you turn up at the staff entrance at 10.30pm with the stick, a bottle of Grand Marnier and no pants on. Let’s just hope it’s not a threesome.

Aries (21 MAR-19 APR)
“LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!” That’s why you weren’t invited.

Taurus (20 APRIL – 20 MAY)
This week a 42 year-old man from Bolton downed a large meat pie in less than 24 seconds. While you just sat there.

Gemini (21 MAY-20 JUN)
There’s something in the way she moves me, that makes her like no other lover. I also like her staunch Catholicism, traditional values and determination to appear on Strictly Come Dancing despite her physical appearance.

Cancer (21 JUN-22 JUL)
This week, why not put a picture of Valdimir Putin’s alleged mistress on the cover of Russian Vogue? He won’t mind.

Leo (23 JUL-22 AUG)
They told me I had to speak to you. No, I explained all this to them and they said I had to speak to you. No. I understand that… I understand that. I am just saying that they told me that I had to speak to you. But if I go back to them they will just tell me that I have to speak to you. Please stop this. Please… please… please…. please… aaaaaargh… aaaaaaaaargh… aaaaaaaaaargh… aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh… AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH…. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Thank you. It’s ‘Psychic Bob’. That’s P-S-Y-C….

Virgo (23 AUG-22 SEP)
So you didn’t win the X Factor. Never mind, you didn’t deserve to.

Libra (23 SEP-23 OCT)
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness. Luckily, I went to see Bad Manners instead. ‘Lip up fatty, ah lip up fatty, for the reggae’. They were quite good.

Scorpio (24 OCT-21 NOV)
This Friday, when your boss takes you to one side at the Christmas party and tells you that if you stick with him you will have a big future with this company, tell him that everything he stands for is soul-shatteringly worthless and you would love nothing more than to vomit into a gaping wound in his chest.

Your Problems Solved, With Holly Harper

Dear Holly,
There’s a woman who sits opposite me at
work who every year insists on festooning her desk with an array of
cheap, gaudy Christmas shit and gabbers inanely about how she did all
her Christmas shopping online in January, and how she’s cooking for
12 people on Christmas day, and how she’s gone for a real tree
instead of a fake one this year because it looks so much more
‘authentic’, as if that is not unbelievably fucking obvious. Yesterday she turned up wearing reindeer earrings and
tinsel round her pony tail and insisted that I open a door on a
child’s advent calendar. What’s the most painful way to kill someone
with a fountain pen?
Debra,
Macclesfield

Dear Debra,
Are you a Jehovah’s Witness? They
pretend not to like Christmas just like you. A weird, ginger girl in
my class called Caroline Fraser is a Jehovah’s Witness and she
doesn’t get to have any fun at all at this time of year, or in fact
ever. At first I felt sorry for her, because she gets no presents and
has to wear a daft headscarf, but then she told me that her family
will live in paradise while mine burn in hell for eternity, and so,
on balance I can see why they’ve taken that decision. At first I
thought perhaps I could be a Jehovah’s Witness too so I don’t have to
burn in hell, and then I realised I’d be better off joining a satanic
cult because at least then I’d still be able to have a birthday
party, plus, when Armageddon occurs I can make myself useful by
helping Satan to set fire to all the non-Jehovah’s Witnesses. So if I
were you I’d stop wasting valuable time worrying about this woman
and her irritating festive habits and instead start making plans for
the Day of Reckoning before it’s too late.
Hope that helps!
Holly
