That phone thing did happen, there was a woman who would text her Grandma every Sunday and kept doing it after she died, to remember her. Eventually the phone company recycled the number and the new owner of it messaged her back saying something along the lines of 'please stop messaging me', and she understandably got the shock of her life.

There was another incident of a teenager who died. The family asked if they could keep the number active so friends and family could use it as a grieving tool - just like how people leave RIP messages on Facebook. Sure enough the phone company did that... for about six months. Then this young lady started getting all these messages shortly after she got a new phone wishing she was still alive. So she replied. Everyone was very confused and the phone company got a very angry email :)

Frightening! Did he say which port it was? In the movie D Day 6 June with Richard Todd and Robert Taylor there's a scene involving a Colonel I think getting massively drunk and starting to regale the people on a public street with cconcerns about Omaha beach and impossibly strong defences and how it was hopeless. He is of course suspended and relieved of his command and packed away somewhere. I bet drinking was a huge problem though. But was necessary to people. I imagine it helped make life bearable for them. I'm not sure if it was rationed but I think it was in short supply. In another scene in that movie the Colonel is peeved to hear the bar patrons in one particular bar on that particular day were limited to one scotch, presumably because his supply was low that week. He gets his scotch by spitting out that he literally just came straight from the disastrous raid on Dieppe. I cite these things because I'm sure they had parallels in real life for many people.

My great-grandmother had two SIM cards, and whenever we used to visit the country they lived in, my mum would borrow the spare SIM card and use it in her own phone. We visited about 2 months after my great-grandmother died and whilst out, naturally with the spare SIM card, my mum decided to phone my grandfather. He nearly had a heart attack, when his Caller ID told him his late mother is calling!

Tim and Bill are like "before" and "after".

That tweet business just reminded me of Black Mirror.

Some people have added a few times a number has been recycled but I'll add another I read: A woman's son died in Afghanistan. Every now and then she'd text his number saying she loved him and missed him. One day she got a call back from another soldier who got the number when it was recycled. If I recall correctly he treats her like another mom now and they stay in contact.

The dead person ringing/texting back has happen a couple times now due to numbers being reused. I read online a woman who kept texting her brothers number after he’d died as if he was still there, and after a while someone replied. Luckily If I remember right, the person on the other end thought it was sweet and said they’d leave them to it. Correct me if I’m wrong, it’s just an article I half remember.

I have a Welsh friend from Llanberis who was absolutely baffled when I mentioned a "flannel" to him one day. Turns out, there is no Welsh word for flannel, and he had never heard the English of it either lol. Whenever I hear the word now I can still hear his voice - "Flan-Nell? What the Fyuck is Flan-Nell?"

The AC/DC song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" has the line "just ring three six two four three six, I lead a life of crime" with hilarious results.

Keeping the details of departed friends in my (computer) address book brings nice memories when I encounter them. Their names, not bodies.

No joke, that happened to my mom. Mind you, my dad probably hadn't used his cell in years so it could have been long recycled before he died, but about a year after he passed, 'bert cell' comes up on the caller id and scares the ghost out of my mom. She called me and my brother right after it happened.

My mother passed In 2012, and I still can’t bring myself to remove her from my cellphone contacts, either. Any time that I’ve used a feature or app which syncs contacts, it tells me “Momma just joined! Add her as a friend!” No random calls, and I know it’s been a couple of other people’s number in the meantime-so while it doesn’t scare me exactly, it definitely messes with my head. My dad disowned me three years ago, (spitting image of my mother, and too much like him to not butt heads,) but a couple of months back, I got two voicemails from him that made no sense and sounded like he was dying and trying to say goodbye. I spent 48 hours panicking and trying to get a hold of him to see if he was okay, (he was, he’s just cruel, and was ignoring me,) so eventually my stepmother texted, “I would tell you if your dad was dead. No one left you voicemails." (Thanks?) I went back and checked the details, and the voicemails were FOUR YEARS OLD, but just now came through for the first time as brand new with notifications and everything. So, he was mad because he thought I was lying and being dramatic, and I was beyond panicked because the last one just said, “Kara… I’m sorry… I love you,” and cut off. Still don’t know what happened or how, but that nearly gave me a heart attack. (He’s 72 and diabetic and overweight and has high blood pressure and… Yeah. Spooky and not fun!!)

My understanding of Bigot, from reading various memoirs of people who worked on Enigma and the other codes, was that it refers to people who had access to the Ultra decodes. These were the highest level of security and involved the Lorenz encryption for which the Colossus computers were used. The Lorenz system was used by the German High Command, so was mainly between Hitler and the senior command in Berlin, and the Theatre Commanders. The very highest level stuff, so handled with extreme care. One of the memoirs said that the reason this was chosen was simple but fiendishly clever. You could ask someone, "Are you Bigoted?" If they knew what you meant they could safely say yes. If not they would get angry!

Speaking of odd coincidences with the phone... I worked at a barber shop and had a co-worker named "Victory" who was married to one of the other barbers in our shop. One day, when she was off, I got a phone call on my cellphone from a phone number nearly identical to my own off by one or two numbers and a different area code (and this turned out to not be a spoofed number, as I'll explain). The person on the other end asked for "Victory". I, very confusedly explained that she wasn't here today, but I could take a message. I then asked if they wanted to speak to Victory's husband, who was present... and that's when the person on the other end of the phone became confused and told me... "But Victory isn't married." Victory's husband then asked why someone was calling me on my cellphone asking for his wife? It was odd, to say the least. As it turned out, the person had called my number by mistake and had in fact been trying to call a third number, which was exactly identical to my own, except with a different area code. They were trying to reach a person named Victory, who worked as a baker in a bakery in another part of the state. Only to prove this wasn't part of some bizarre practical joke, I asked for the area code to the bakery, which I then called... a very confused woman named Victory answered, perplexed that my phone number was identical to her own except for the area code. And so I explained to her what had just happened and the reason for my interest in contacting her. It was one of the wildest coincidences I've ever experienced in that, someone trying to call a woman with a very uncommon name, managed to reach a different person at that person's exact 7 digit phone number, but who also worked with a different woman with the same uncommon name as the person they were trying to reach.

Another thing I decided to drop from my original post about this event was the fact that Victory the baker and our Victory (the barber) had a second job as singers in a band. And, in fact, the first person calling to ask for Victory, the baker was a member of her band calling to let her know that they were going to postpone a practice session that had been scheduled that day. I left that part out initially, because I felt like it was already getting into "unbelievable" area as far as coincidences go. And, since we already had... - Both named Victory, - Calling me from a phone number that almost matched my own. - A third phone number that EXACTLY matched my own except for the area code. ... adding the fact that both were part-time singers was simply too much. Even without this last fact, the odds sound astronomical. Like I said, it was the wildest coincidence I've ever personally experienced in my life. Even more so than any of the wild experiences my dad had, which there are several... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The first of which was a man who broke down on the interstate near the city where we lived. My dad was driving by and, being the good Samaritan he is, he stopped to ask if the man needed any assistance. The man knew exactly what was wrong and had already removed the part and he asked my dad for a ride to the local dealership. Once there, the stranger was told that, yes... that part was indeed broken, but they would have to order a new part from another city and they would not have it till the next day. So, the man asked my dad for a ride to a nearby hotel, to which my dad said, "Forget that, you can come stay at our house" (

Bugger, I've Got One Testicle

When I was in university I had a job selling season ticket subscriptions for a Toronto theatre company, phoning people up from a list. I remember calling this one number and the sweet old lady who answered said, "oh, no dear, he (her husband) died a few months ago." I gave my sympathies and apologized for bothering her. She asked why I was calling and so I explained. She said that it was her and her friends who always went to the theatre and that she had just put her previous purchase on her late husband's credit card. She went ahead and bought a new subscription. Geez, now that I think about it, I hope I let somebody know so that the next year somebody didn't call again, asking for the dead guy.

I once had an instance where a person I knew got a new phone number and the old phone number accidentally called me randomly. Different phone and everything, and I still had the number in my contacts. So it was confusing.

I got a phone call from a delivery driver (I work in Warehousing) saying ('Caroline first other Wife') she's on the phone. Honestly, I will a) never forget it, b) Treasure the feeling I got for a split second, c) Be one of the first normal folk on the planet to own a Quantum computer and get wayyyy ahead of those odds. I think the odds in this case would have taken a really good current computer about 18 years to work out. A Quantum Computer can predict it in 6 minutes.

THEY STARTED IT!!

I actually had that happen to me (passed friend's phone number got recycled) except it was in snapchat. They did years before snapchat and I still had their phone number. When I first got snapchat, I added them because fuck it why not. It was fucking weird when I got a notification saying they'd added me and even weirder the first time the phone number's new owner sent me snapchats.

It’s been said before, obviously, but QI was so much better with Stephen Fry. It’s why I watched.

Did you reply with "Not if I see you first"?

I like the way in which Bill Bailey laughs off general public opinion.... Even if he talks about Hitler. He's like: people will repeat whatever, because it's currently popular...

Two weeks after my mom died, I got a text message from her that said, "How you been?" I about crapped myself. Ended up that my brother had started using her phone. I changed the name for that number super quick.

Beware I've got one testicle!!

is that dobby?

Beauty, I've Got Over Tuberculosis.

Tweet: I qlways sayed I am dead on the inside....now I am on the outside aswell. 😂

Who is she? She reminds me of professor Brian Cox, the way she talks and smiles.

Yeah, either that or they're the same person ^_^ But the accent is a very plausible explanation. Thanks ;-)

Why is dobby on Qi?

B.I.G.O.T.'S= British Invasion of German Occupied Territories in WW2. Very very interesting as usual.

Bruv, Is Garry On Tv?

Who's Garry

It would be pronunced 'Bye-Got' since there is only one 'G' in it. With a short vowel the 'G' gets doubled.

​@@mm-qd1ho No they do not, they're fairly linear & they're programmed. People say those words and people fuck up, a lot. For instance it's 'hold me so tightly', not 'hold me so tight'. An adverb is required, not an adjective. But for BIGOT, I guess it's even worse when it's British Invasion of German Occupied Territories with the 'of' as a stop there. 'BI of GOT'.

I thought he was the guy from korn.. 😂

Anyone else notice the dead twitter accounts are like headmasters portraits in Harry Potter?

Weird story. That's how I got my flatmate. She called me and it came up as my father's telephone number. She is the best flatmate I have ever had.

I know a couple of people whose email addresses still start with the name of their spouse who has passed away. Always gives me a real start when they email me.

Pity operation mincemeat had nothing to do with the invasion of Normandy in 44, it about invading Sicily in 43. Supposedly according to the Film the man that never was he was given Welsh citizenship, he was supposedly Scottish.

To be fair it would be a difficult task to give the PM a bollocking.

Isy Suttie is gorgeous.

Wouldn't want to attack a machine gun nest without my stick!

Surely when someone dies, a close friend or relative will just use his phone as he will no longer need it.

The phone maybe, but not the phone number. Numbers aren’t intrinsically tied to the phones they currently belong to, u know. Lol

Sure enough, there was a woman who texted her dead son as a grief coping mechanism and received a message back. The number had been reallocated.

The man who never was deception was for the Sicily landings, not Normandy.

Yes. More specifically, to halt the Czech violence against ethnic Germans. Hitler, being as patriotic as he was, tried to negotiate with the country to give the land up, but Germans were continually, so Hitler annexed the whole bloody area

Are my eyes going weird or is movement in this video liney and strange?

So to recap, if anyone calls you a bigot you reply "ah yes I was part of the British Invasion of German Occupied Territory, thanks for noticing"

There is a facebook page which gives daily updates on Michael Jackson's health. Bill Bailey predicting the future here.

After my Mother died, I had the old family phone number transferred to my mobile, so now whenever I call my brother, his caller ID says "It's Mom".

Or you get a phone, phone someone you know, but the new number you have, is the old number of a contact that died of the person you're calling.

Oh I thought BIGOTS meant Big Illusive Girls Only Translate Swedish.

That woman looks like Gary Lineker's little sister.
