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.

A Fairly Dahl StoryRemember how, when you were young, every so often you'd get a new phrase in your head which you'd try to work into conversation as often as possible? This happened to me all the time.
One evening, my sister and I went to our regular swimming classes. She's three years younger than me, so we were in separate classes at opposite ends of the pool (me in the super-hard deep end, her in the wussy shallow end, of course). Throughout the lesson and in the changing room afterwards, I kept thinking of a line I'd seen in a Roald Dahl book I'd read at school earlier; "Go and boil your head". It was the greatest insult I'd ever heard, and I had to use it.
Once dried and dressed, I left the changing room. My sister was leaving hers at the same time. "Here we go" I thought. "Time to use the best line ever".
But before I'd had time to speak, my sister got in.
"Costas" she said, "Go and boil your head".
