Woohoo... Is This Creepy Or What Options

[lizeeloo]

I know there was a thread for this subject but I cannae find it so here goes..

My daughter and I were having a discussion on Friday about old TV shows etc and we were trying to recall the name of a British TV talk show host. We could each see him in our minds perched on a high stool with a drink in his hand and he had a bit of finger missing in one . Well to cut a long story short she remembered the last name - Allan - and believe it or not I fell asleep that night and dreamed of him and his first name was Dave. Some of you may remember him.
Okay the stage is set for the weird part.
She went to a wedding the day after this ( yesterday - Saturday ) and here is an email I got from her this morning

Hey Mum,

Want to hear something really weird. At the dinner last night the tables were set up for 6 and 8 people. Our table was 6 - John and me, Chris and Cindy and, this is the weird part, DAVE ALLEN (same spelling) and Maureen.

Creepy!

i remember some of the repeated dave allen shows,was not allowed to watch it when i was younger.i dont think a lot of his material would be accepted nowadays,although i have to admit he was hilarious.you sometimes missed the start of a new joke ,as you were so busy laughing at the last one.

Dave Allen was a brilliant comedian, bought his dvd it came out just after he died I think , a lot of the stuff is dated , but a lot of it is still hilarious

thought i would write about something that happened a couple of years ago which we thought was a bit spooky.i took my youngest daughter who was 9 at the time shopping to our local centre.we went into the post office first,there on the shelf was an extra large teddy bear and dog the size of a large alsation.they were being raffled,and proceeds were going to glasgows yorkhill hospital for children.my daughters eyes lit up.i bought a couple of tickets ,but told my daughter that a lot of people would be buying tickets,i was trying to let her down gently ,as we just dont win anything .put the tickets in the back of my purse and forgot all about them.a couple of weeks later,a week before xmas,got a phone call that i had won the large dog and when could i collect it.got ready and went straight down.when i got home my hubby and i read the label on the dog,it said DOUG by MELISSA,ithink it is an american make.so whats weird about that?my daughter regularly attends yorkhills cardiology unit,and her name is Melissa. bye

Loved watching Dave Allen, did he not get his start on the Val Doonican show, or was that someone else?

Can you imagine someone smoking on a show now, I remember he used to keep brushing the ash off his knee as he spoke.
