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.

One of my jobs at the hospitalused to be taking hip/knee implant patients for their first walk down the ward.This can be painful for the poor dears.
One morning, I was sent to escort a lovely elderly gent. He was quite nervous, so I said, 'This might smart a bit, so it's OK if you swear, as long as it's in Swahili!' - that being the most unlikely language I could come up with on the spur of the moment.
He looked astonished. 'How did you know that?' he asked.
Turns out that he spent 20 years with the Army in Kenya and was fluent in Swahili.
He relaxed and we had a pleasant stroll down the ward, with him looking forward to telling his daughter about the spoooky nurse!
It was just a guess. I think.
