Spoooky CoincidenceB3ta'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.

Weather KILLS!My mum lives in a fairly small village. Our local vicar's house is right over the road, next to the church.
One stormy night, when I was a nipper, and scared, my dad held me up to the window and said 'when it's thundering, that's just God clapping'. When it lightens...
He never managed to finish the sentence because it did strike lightening at that point. I shat myself, not as much as the vicar must have done though, because it hit his aerial, collapsing his roof!
The worst part was, the insurance company wouldn't cover it, saying it was an act of God! (my dad found this hilarous and 15 years later, still does, he isn't very religious!)
Whilst his roof was being repaired he took a well earned ski break in Switzerland with 2 other vicars. They got a ski lift to the top of a high snowy mountain, in order to ski down. They stopped to take in the view, and while doing so noticed the weather turning dark.
Before they could snow down the mountain to escape the brewing storm, a bolt of lightening struck, hitting and killing the vicar in front of him, and the vicar behind him. Our vicar was unhurt.
No-one in the village could decide whether he was the luckiest or unluckiest vicar ever - or what he'd done to piss off the man upstairs!
