This is a question Spoooky Coincidence

B3ta's very own Fraser was once a cycle courier. On one job out to docklands his radio gave out, so he had to find a public phonebox to ring back to base.

He'd just located one when it began to ring. Picking it up, it was (obviously) a wrong number, but Fraser recognised the voice. Turned out it was a mate of his he hadn't seen for ages.

Doppleganger detention...
When I was 14, I was kept back after Welsh class by the teacher, Miss Jane Evans* She posed some delicate questions. i.e. Had I been sneaking around to discover her personal details and intimate them into the latest essay? Was I stalking her?

Now Jane "Jugs" as she was known was well worth stalking, but I was innocent. Well, not guilty 'neway. What happened was...

I'd been forced to write an essay about an old person. I couldn't be arsed to go and visit some old dear going on about how young folk were lazy, so I thought, fuck it, my dad's retired so he'll do. Wouldn't even have to talk to him about it. So I wrote an essay which started

J.G. Evans 6th May 1931 - present

John Glyndwr Evans was born with a twin sister, Jane.....

This is where it all hit the fan, the fan being an unamused, single teacher in her late twenties. Why? Well...

Jane "Jugs" had a twin brother. Named John Glyndwr Evans. Her middle name turned to be Gwen. So all were J.G. Evans. Jugs and bruv's date of birth was...wait for it...6th of May.

Now to prove I wasn't actually student stalker, I pulled out my contact diary, hoping to show her my dad's signature thus proving his existence. Apart from a little curve on the S of Evans, both hers and my dads were identical. Shit. Now I was forging signatures to cement my fantasies it seemed

I could see myself being forced to talk to the child psychiatrist again. But, bless her, she gave me the benefit of the doubt though she always looked at me funny until she met my Dad and at parents' evening and. Then she regarded me with some kind of pity.

*all names changed slightly, etc. to protect the length of the innocent.
