Oh Christ...
These things happen to me all the time.

The other day I was using my online banking, and the very moment I clicked the 'statement' link, some woman on News 24 said statement. The exact same moment.

Another time I was chatting on MSN Messenger, and sent someone a message saying 'Fuck em' about something or other. About 2 seconds later John Fortune on Bremner Bird & Fortune on Ch4 said 'Fuck em'.

I was in HMV when I remembered to have a look for Dr Strangelove on DVD. The next line of the song playing in the background began with 'Doctor' .

I was working in my section with the radio on in the background. Some bloke on Virgin Radio was doing a terrible impersonation of Rolf Harris and taking the piss out of that Mika song at the same time. I walked into my section's office where their radio was tuned to Radio One and had some bloke also taking the piss out of that Mika song.

I saw an ad for ITV4 promoting the showing of Apocalypse Now. I saw the ad the very same day I had made this.

In my block (military accommodation) there is a waterpipe running through my wall that sometimes can be noisy when the boiler is filling up or whatever it does. I was watching Terminator 3 on five, and because of the pipe I had subtitles on to catch any of the subtle dialogue (I didn't have my headphones with me at the time and couldn't just turn it up for some reason I forget), anyway I decided to turn the subtitles off. No sooner had I turned them off than the water pipe shut up.

I was once reading an article on Monty Python's Spamalot musical and a Spam advert came on TV.

Jurassic Park was on ITV1 over Christmas. I walked into my living room as it was on and saw Samuel L Jacksons character. Completely at random I decided to say 'Hold onto yer butts!' as it's one of my favourite lines from the movie. Trouble is, Samuel L Jackson decided to start saying it exactly in time with me.

I was reading on a forum a question from a guy asking if iPods could be charged from a laptop, at the same time a character in Lost on Ch4 said that some radios could be powered from a laptop battery.

A guy on TV saying 'blood' as my dog started sniffing a tissue I had been using to dab a cut.

Another MSN Messenger one - asking someone who was idle for a long time 'Are you there?' and a guy on TV saying 'Are you there?' into a walkie-talkie.

There are plenty, plenty more; however I think some kind of post-traumatic stress disorder is putting a mental block on them.
