I remember an incident from the 80s when I was driving home in the early hours. I was travelling along the main road in Swindon when someone ran out in front of the milk float, which was coming the other way. He ran on, and I had to slam my brakes on. I then couldn't see him, despite there not being anywhere for him to go. I left my car and asked the milkman if he saw the same thing? We both stood there scratching our heads!

I think it was the junction of Cricklade Road and Gipsy Lane, but I believe the road layout is different these days. If it were just me, I would attribute it to tiredness, but the milkman saw the same strange thing!.

When I was about 14 I saw a documentary on numbers stations and spent half the night listening to them while sitting in the dark, very creepy! :| I'll stick an article at the bottom for anyone not familiar with numbers stations.

Especially this one, the tune itself is creepy but then the voice about a minute in really made the hair stand up on the back of my neck

:lol: :lol:

Some of them are very... bureaucratic lets say, but some of them are pretty creepy. Imagine sitting there with a ham radio in the middle of the night and you come across one of those broadcasts and had no idea what it was :)

I always had an interest in history and particularly the Cold War so that might explain it, or maybe I watched too many horror movies as a child! :D

I've never heard of number stations before but surely there's no use for them now - you can just send an email. :)

Every time I open a beer this fly appears and sits on top of the bottle

When there's no beer there's no fly

I seem to be living with an alcoholic fly

I've decided to call him Jeff

I was driving in the US when I pulled up to a set of lights. The truck in front of me had my internet banking password as it's number plate. It was so unbelievable I took a picture of it and changed my password when I reached my destination. I've never used just letters and numbers since.
For me, nothing has ever beaten this!

Last summer I almost swallowed a wasp that was in my beer!

Reminds me of the joke about the Scottish guy who pulled out a fly from his whiskey and said; "Spit it out". :lol:
