  • Said on here before about a Messenger voice call I had with someone about a new chain for one of my chainsaws. Had chainsaw chain ads and sharpening tool ads coming up more or less straight away on the Facebook news feed
  • Had a beer last night and asked my pal at breakfast if he had any paracetamol. He said he had Nurofen, but I can’t take those as get a reaction to ibroprufen. My phone is charging back in the room.

    after breakfast go back to the room, later on I pick up my phone and look at Facebook. First thing on my timeline is an advert for Nurofen. 
    Have you had both jabs?

    Alexa/Siri is always listening (has to in case its name is called). 
    It sits on the wifi network, probably has your phone on the same network. 
    2 + 2 =  3.9999

    George Orwell looking very smug behind the pearly gates I reckon. 
    Actually, just realised you must be right. I had my Garmin watch on which I suppose is connected to my phone. So no coincidence at all, just another example of how f***ed up our ties to technology are and the impact it can have on our lives.

    Yup - That's the long and the short of it.

  • Was playing The Wheel board game last week with my son. He’s 11, autistic and doesn’t know any of the answers to the questions. But he loves spinning the wheel so that’s what we do. 

    Game was going on forever so I made the decision I was going to start pretending to read the question cards but make up the question in my head that I knew he’d know the answer to. 

    Decide the next question I was going to ask ‘who sang Uptown Funk’ as I know that would be the only music question he’d know the answer to. I turn the card over and the question on the card  was ‘who had a hit single with the song Uptown Funk’. 

    Literally fell off my chair. Honestly couldn’t believe it. 


    Superb … love it

  • Need to share this as it’s weirded me out a bit to tell the truth.

    Rarely dream, or remember dreams these days. But last night I had a dream where I was walking through the park and my local MP James Brokenshire was walking in the opposite direction to me. And I remember thinking how important it is that an MP is out and about getting a feel of the area he represents.

    I’ve never met him before, been in his company or anything, so it was really really random. Just flicking through Twitter this morning and saw a tweet saying it was 12 months to the day since he died.

    WTF?

    So, here’s one from me.

    About a year or so ago, I received a parcel outside our front door. The driver had just left it and driven off. The address was ever so slightly similar to ours, but definitely not one you’d get confused with if you read it properly.

    Anyway, looked up the address and it was in a development about a mile and an half away, so jumped in the car and delivered it to the correct address. A lady answered the door and was really grateful as it was some decorations for her son’s first birthday. A brief chat and another thank you from her, and that was that. 

    Now fast forward to this week. We’ve got our house on the market and had one viewing on Tuesday morning as they couldn’t make it this weekend. I took the viewing as it was easier to manage on this occasion, but the agent would normally conduct them for us. So, I open the door and there stands the very same woman who I delivered the parcel to last year! 

    Now I feel bad as she’s not sold her place and we’ve had an offer from a first time buyer which we’ll likely accept, but we really wanted it to be her family that ended up moving here to almost “complete” the whole thing. Crazy. 
    Sounds like you have a stalker if im honest mate.

    you should shag her and find out
    Coincidentally, my mate said the same. Your name isn’t Ben is it Dave?

    No, it's Rodney
    What a coincidence that another Rodney would say that!

    Amazon Alexa echoes probably now tapping into our dreams!
