Cambridge Coincidences Collection

I started a place of work, where instantly they gave me a phone (as you would expect) and at the initial stage. I was unaware that there was a direct number set up on these phone and just thought it was the global telephone number for the company of which a receptionist would put calls through to my extension. I never received direct calls. On a personal matter my grandmother passed away, and weeks after she died, I started getting calls direct (not through the receptionist). The calls were for my late grandmother, Mrs P Jarrett, (Note my surname Metcalf, hence, no connection there). The first few calls (perhaps, one a week) I ignored as was still secretly in grieving, but after a few months was starting to get annoyed with this repeatedly reminding me of my gran, and thought to investigate. We worked out that each phone (not to any ones knowledge), had a direct number installed at the time of my grandmothers passing. Each phone got assigned a number and without anyone knowing, I had been given my grans number after she died, what are the chances of this?

"San Francisco" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bch1_Ep5M1s I became particularly "interested in" - got enamoured with - this song immediately after its singer, Scott McKenzie died. I posted on YOUTUBE: "... for days I can´t ´get off´ this song. I just listen to and sing it hundreds and hundreds times, as the ´Song of Eternity ´ - a message from long gone times that still live on forever..." I got some positive responses, but - for whatever reasons - my comment (these two sentences ) disappeared from YOUTUBE. I wrote it again and let it appear as my "motto" on my personal YOUTUBE-file. Whoever opened this file could see it immediately up on the right side. Recently I reopened this file and saw that - as a consequence of some YOUTUBE restructuring - this comment (statement?) disappeared even from here. After long search I found it tough, hidden in a box (or whatever the name for this ) under one of the so many new headings.

my father died in December 1999. prior to his death he was a lorry driver and often used to drive with our pet basset hound in the cab with him. in the year 2000 which was the first year after he died on the day that would have been his birthday 10 th july I arrived outside my place of work and there was a lorry similar to but not exactly the same as the one he used to drive and it there was a basset hound in the passenger seat. the basset hound was the same colour as our pet basset hound. while I was on the phone that day I took a phone call from the company he used to work for .the company had stopped dealing with us several years before and this was the first phone call we had had from them for several years. there were several other small coincidences that year to do with my father( members of the family winning premium bonds only on birthdays, which never happened again ) . I cant remember the full details. but ever since then we have not had any coincidences to do with him . so by coincidence all the coincidences only happened in the year after his death.

This concerns my great-great-great-grandmother Isabella Ormston, who gave birth to a daughter on April Fool's Day 1835. She had another daughter two years later on April Fool's Day 1837, a third exactly two years later, and a fourth exactly two years after that, so that all four girls had the same birthday and all were seperated by two years. This story was covered at the time in the local newspaper (http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=DxkHAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA250&dq=ormston+daughter+april+sunderland&hl=en), and I can confirm the birth of the third daughter on 1st April 1839 since I have her birth certificate.
