    Its the little things that count

    I had a chuckle to myself while doing the service report for a wheelchair today.

    filled out all the details, make, model, serial number, etc. then i noticed the job no. at the top of the form.

    it was number 1337.


    just thought i would share this momentous occasion with you all.



    anyone else get any pleasure out of the little things that happen?

    Re: Its the little things that count

    Yup, its amazing how you notice certain numbers lots in a day when your brain becomes "Attuned" to them. For me, its the numbers 420 (appears so many times per day you could almost think it was unusual, and all the more since i gave up smoking!) and 1337, which you obviously see at least once per day at 13:37

    I'd never have believed it!!
    On top of all that, the temperature here is 7 degrees this morning. Is this just a spooky coincidence or is it proof of the existence of an afterlife?

    Wow!! I knew you were going to reply something witty. Spooky isn't in it. So aliens did build the pyramids as a navigation system after all. Must go for a lie down when I've taken my lithium.
