If that’s what the Sun paid, then yes. For that kind of money, I’d write for the Grauniad’s environment column.

I remember Private Eye wrote about her, she was never an astrologer she was a sub-editor later to become deputy editor of the News of the World Colour Supplement, she was rather a strange person, they needed an astrologer and she just fitted the bill, she made a lot of money out of it, but it was essentially a joke personality that took upon a life of it's own, such is the power of the media to create celebrities'

Yup, nobody believed she was making predictions. The audience's 'Ooohs!' and 'Aaaahs!' tell you that. :nods:

Wait. What?? She was never a real astrologer? Oh....My....God.
 
I once heard of her described on a site as Mystic Smeg and that name never left me. From that date on she was always mystic smeg.

Some site graffiti from many years ago was “Mystic Meg is a Witch…burn her”. She obviously made an impression to end up on a building site bog wall.
 
That'll hurt my missus who's a big U2 fan.

It begs the question - carry on while you can or go out while you're fit.
I know it's not so Earth-shattering to many but in October 2022, we faced this choice; after the accounts showed 2022 would be the first year in twelve years that our firm recorded a loss, that renewal of our premises lease would cost us £200 plus, and that we'd struggle to keep going until the next 'season'*, we had to choose.
Frankly, we decided that our health couldn't cope with any more demand, even IF the season was a good 'un. We took it as a hint - get out while we were on our own two feet!

I think in the music industry, with hugely popular rock bands, the decision is harder.
They can afford not to exist. But they have a huge coterie (parasites) that would lose out should the performances stop. They care - they wouldn't be doing what they do if they didn't - but does performance outweigh personal life? If a five-piece band becomes a four-piece then a trio ... when does it become an obvious choice?
And what role does the fanbase pressure play?

* Dead from December but might - just might - pick up end of March.

@escargot is the real deal, although her predictions consist of the following -
1) I am going to enjoy this bike ride.
2) I am going to look amazing in this hi-vis gear!
3) This exra hot veggie dish is going to devoured in five seconds flat.
4) Someone is going to mention Deep Heat in an unrelated manner.
