Earlier on myself and my father were watching Olympic Grandstand (fortunately, the awful Clare Balding wasn't presenting) and the Speed Skating was taking place.
Steve Ryder: "Next up is the men's 1000m final that took place last night.
Sue Barker: "Yes, don't turn away because this has a rather unusual ending."
I turned to my Dad and said for a joke, "cool, the four leaders will all crash out leaving the guy in last who had been completely dropped off to win."
And so the race started, and with a couple of laps to go it was all quite close, although the Australian at the back of the pack was falling behind. Then the American made a great move round the outside to go into the lead, and I thought that this must be the special ending. How wrong I was.
As they came through the final corner the two at the front were pushing and shoving and it got much more exciting. Then, one of them went. All of a sudden, another went down, taking the guy behind him with him and then the guy in third. All four went flying into the side, and it looked like it would have to be ran again. But then, around half a lap behind the Australian who wasn't even on the screen when the crash happened cruised around to take the victory! More hilarious moments were to follow as the rest of them all scrambled and crawled along to grab the other medal places!
Quote from the winner: "I looked around and thought, hang on, this can't be right, I think I've won!"
Now, either I have amazing physic powers (even though I wasn't even trying to use them,) or it was just an amazing coincidence.
Although the first would be nice, I think I'll have to settle for the latter.
But still, it was a great laugh. :D

Sounds like my house.
The ice skating bit. When somthings been done nobody can believe it.
"Do the dishwasher" "It's been done" "Oh my God"

the only time i had some thing like that happen was when i watched this physic programme and this man said "look at these and tell us what number i am thinking of" and i got it
Cool, you never know, maybe we all have a small snippet of ability to predict the future. Probably not though.
I spelt it wrong too. Physcic? Psychic?

Yup, saw that. That's why life rules, because stuff like that happens and makes up for all the crap stuff that has happened.
Nice thing on the... mental powers, can't spell that other word. Cool when it happens.
Last time for me was with three cards in a row... friend held them out, facing away from me, oddly enough, and got three in a row right... it was really weird, I just cleared my head completely, complete silence in my mind, and then the card just popped in. Thrice in a row.
That ruled.
