Hansel Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Was at my mother in laws having a cup of tea and a blether the other day. Poirot is on the TV in the background and I recognised the guy who played Trigger in Only Fools and Horses. So we Start chatting about how the actor had died a few years back, and I tell her how I used to get the characters Trigger and Boycie mixed up. I thought Boycie was called Trigger because his laugh sounded a bit like a machine gun. Anyway, I asked her if the guy who played Boycie was still alive and she said she didn't know. Neither of us could be bothered to Google the answer and just moved on to chat about something else before she went through to the kitchen. Must have been about 30 seconds later, I was scrolling through Facebook and refreshed the feed........... First thing I see is a news article stating that John Challis (actor who played Boycie) had died 😔 What is the chances of that? We had just spoke about the guy and now he's dead. Freaked me right out 😆 Has anything like this happened to anyone else? am I some sort mystic? 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 There was one year (looking back it must've been 2008/2009 as it was one of the earlier rounds) where we were all debating who we might get in the cup draw which was being made later that day. I felt absolutely 100% convinced we were getting Hibs to the point that I was gonna be a smart-**** and post that the draw had already been made and we got Hibs. Lo and behold when the draw was announced a few hours later we did indeed get them and I felt really relieved that I hadn't bothered posting it since no-one would've believed me if I had then said "ach it was only a feeling lads, just a lucky guess" sort of thing.

Jamhammer Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I’ve often throughout the years been singing a song, turned telly or radio on and the song is on I think I can receive radio signals wibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Салатные палочки Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Around 1998 we were sitting in my mates house watching the telly after playing football. The BBC 24 hour news channel was still in it's infancy and a mate turned it on saying "I wonder what's happening in the world" or something like that. I said "probably some Airbus has crashed". I have no idea why I said it but when he turned it over, I kid you not, the first thing that came up on the screen was an Airbus that crashed on landing in the Far East. It caused a mixture of hilarity and freaking out. One of my mates who was into paranormal shite was really freaked out. I still have no idea where it came from and it's still mentioned to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I questioned Barry White's health to work colleagues on the day he died.

Haken Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Years ago, three of us in our office (back when offices were a thing) were discussing middle names. My boss, who was about to retire, said we'd never get hers, but that it started with an 'M'. I looked at her for a couple of seconds and said, 'Myrtle'. She visibly paled and asked me how I knew that. I didn't know it; I guessed. I just guessed a name beginning with 'M' that wasn't common. I probably also subconsciously factored in that due to her age, it might be an 'older' name. But what I told her and my other colleague was to be careful what they were thinking.

AlimOzturk Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Me and my friend were having a few pints in the pub after his dads funeral. We were talking and telling some stories about his dad when a guy who could have been his dads twin cycled past.

SectionDJambo Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Anyone else had a dream, that they have forgotten about, and some time later been in the location and circumstances of that dream? It seems to have happened to me a few times over the years, when I'm going about my business and think to myself that I've seen this situation before. More recently, when I was told about John Challis passing, I was convinced that I heard about it a few days earlier. They say that the subconscious is a strange thing.
