Uncanny Coincidence!!

[pool pugilist]

Last year on 14th May I was rushed to hospital to have an emergency op due to an encapsulated hernia just above my navel (Got to admit I was more worried that I would miss LM due to the recommended 6 weeks converlessing than the actual operation!!! bearing in mind I am terrified of anything medical to boot  ) Anyway, the operation was carried out on the morning of the 15th May with no problems, furthermore a speedy recovery was made and I was able to attend and fully enjoy LM 2008. 

Now heres the spooky bit....2 months ago my wife complained of pains in her stomach, so after a couple of weeks playing the Martyr she visits the Doctors and low and behold she has been told she has a hernia!! My better half is promptly put on the waiting list for the op and told to expect a wait of approx 3 months barring a cancellation...The Surgical unit have rang her up just this morning and said they have a cancellation....you guessed it 15th May....Now what are the odds of that?? I wish I'd had a fiver on it!!

Anything similar happened to any of you guys??

That's a one off coincedence, I can beat that.

For the past 18 years on a Tuesday morning around, or just after the second weekend in June I have turned up for work feeling drained with the mother of all hangovers and in desperate need of a holiday. I haven't a clue what causes it but it happens every year without fail. I would get fantastic odds on it not happening again this year. Pity I'm not a betting man

Weird.. I've had a very similar experience for the last 20 years (bar a couple). However for the last 3 years it has happened on a Wednesday rather than a Tuesday.

I have a strange feeling it will happen again this year........ and possibly in late May too

More in relation to the thread... we have stayed in the same hotel in Dinard on the Monday night for the last 3 years... and have been given the same room each time... Queer.

Do you also, by any chance, seem to have one less pair of trousers than you had about a week before?

Or an odd sock

Probably the only time they feel they can let it out

I put it down to the fact that they must lead very shallow lives if that was the highlight of their past year

As the punchline to the old joke goes...

I have no idea what you are all talking about....
