Israeli psychic offers to save cursed English city

Spoon-bending Israeli psychic Uri Geller has offered to single-handedly save a northern English city that many residents believe has been cursed.

The people of the city of Carlisle on the Scottish border say the recent inscription of an ancient curse on a large lump of polished granite has brought down on their heads floods, pestilence and sporting humiliation.

"I have offered to take the stone off their hands, put it in my garden and exorcise it," Geller said.
