I had my family over on Saturday night for pre-Christmas drinks and dinner in a local village pub.
Over Dinner in the restaurant part of the pub, I was reminiscing with my elder Brother about the time as kids, our parents would take us for a 4 day Christmas mini break to Butlins.
My brother is a very big Spurs fan, and I mischievously reminded him about that time In December 1978, when Spurs got absolutely crushed 0-5 at home to local rivals Arsenal – we watched the game in the TV room at Butlins as there were no TV’s in the Chalets back then
A moment later I got up from the table to use the gents, as I walked past a group of guys in the bar area, I heard one of them say to the group “ lads do you remember near Christmas years ago, when spurs took a complete pasting at home against Arsenal – can anyone remember what year that was?”
I straight away thought, well that’s one for the forum as there was no possible way they could have heard our conversation from where they were standing in the bar
Not a coincidence but a bit later on that evening, something very strange happened.
We were in the bar area of the pub, I was standing at the bar chatting to my Farther and two brothers, when I heard the sound of a glass smash then a little scream. I turned around and saw that my wife’s ( who was sitting at a table with my Mother, sister in law and niece) glass of Gin and Tonic lay in pieces on the table.
She had a confused look on her face, as she said she hadn’t touched the glass , and my niece stated that she saw the glass rise very slightly on its own accord before tipping itself over.
