Please don’t.

Think about it. Thousands of times a day, one has a thought or hears or reads or sees a cultural reference without there being any coincidental mention on TV. The law of averages says this is expected and predictable. However the same law of averages says that just now and then, perhaps every few hundreds of thousands of instances, two of these cultural references will coincide to give you that frisson of excitement. This was one of those rare but inevitable instances.

To be fair, it's not like my username has "Emmerdale" or "The Beatles" in it. It's a pretty unlikely coincidence as these things go.

I was being facetious. I didn't really think it was something ethereal happening. I hope you can believe this.

Sid, is this a good time to say that I watched the entirety of that ninja clip? (I actually did - I wanted to know who would win).

Maybe unlikely that it happened specifically to Eric, but reasonably likely that it happened one of us.

It only happened to me, as I was watching an episode of 'Caught on Dashcam'. Two trucks had collided, in China I think, and one was transporting a water tank, in which the water splashed up in the air, and all these little animals (I don't know what they were) ended up on the road in the water. Hence the commentator's reference to 'like those Sharknado movies'. I had just read Sid's post, and then looked at the TV having heard the commentary. It was just chance, but still weird.

Yeah, that's fair. But still unlikely from Eric's perspective.

It's fair to say that, for example, I've probably read or replied to plenty of Guiness Boy's posts while drinking a Guiness without giving it a second's thought. Frankly I'd be more surprised if I somehow found out I hadn't.

Can you remember drinking some and it leaving a sour taste in your mouth?

I've heard he's caught ebola and died.

His agent's been propping him up with a stick and using him like a ventriloquist doll for the last 5weeks in a desperate bid to squeeze another transfer fee out of him.

Oh we definitely should.

I'll just leave you with this though.


Anyway...

I'm sure the perceived delay in the signing being announced is nothing to worry about.

Wow. That's one of the worst 5 minutes of cinematography I have ever wasted 5 minutes on.

Shit!
