Synchronicity

[Danger Man]

I was sitting with a friend in the local park one evening last year having a drink and listening to a radio show she had downloaded on her phone when a fox strolled past just as they played a track by John Fox.

Would have been better if John Fox had strolled past.

Ooooh now that's an interesting concept!  Subjective synchronicity!

Isn't it all subjective? Otherwise it's just an animal walking past some noises.

Would have been better if John Fox had strolled past.

Not really. I said 'Hello John' as it passed by and it looked back at me, which is even more amazing when you think about it.

Was listening to Absolute 80s when UB40's Red Red Wine wafted over the airwaves. Spookily I was quaffing my second bottle of red red cotes du rhone of the evening at the time. As I passed out I was struck by the synchchronisiyty.... singcronicity...sinchronnishitty... sod it coincidence of it all

I don't really check CaB much these days but I put on the BOC ETL live album earlier after finishing work and nearly started a thread in Oscillations about how that's an amazing song but decided to just open some General Bullshit threads instead and I opened this one. Synchronicity.

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

If only I was listening to Song 2 by Blur right now.
I wasn't though.

work's shuttle bus driver would play Abba, and he seemed to time it so the verse started just as he accelerated off the slip road onto the Westway.

Classier is Laura Barton describing how Monica Queen's vocal in Lazy Line Painter Jane would begin just as her car went over the crest of a hill.

Ahhh but which ABBA track? Given the traffic on the Westway I would guess 'Andante Andante'?

I think we should be told.

sorry, half asleep. Mamma Mia

I woke up early this morning, so picked my phone up just to check the time. Just as I did this it rang. It was my friend Kim - who had done it by accident. I mean she's a bit eccentric but she's never called me up at 6.19am before.

Still, could be worse. An acquaintance of mine (I can't really call him a mate because I haven't seen him for at least a quarter of a century, plus he holds some dodgy political views) rang me at 3.28am a few weeks ago. It turned out he'd fallen asleep with his tablet on and had somehow rolled over onto my mobile number - the one he's never used before. I last spoke to him about a decade ago when he rang me at work about some dodgy political thing that I politely expressed interest in while knowing that under no circumstances would the paper cover it.

Anyway, morning everyone.

[NoSleep]

I was up this morning, too!
