    Do you have a number that keeps cropping up in your life?? Mine for some reason is 234.
    Started off being our telephone number when I was a kid. Then it was our car reg. Have had it on about 5 winning tickets for raffles. Then it was my wheelie bin number. Then my current OH was born on 23/4.
    Had it once as an employee number and once as the last 3 digits of my mobile number.

    Any one else

    0735 but only cause it's been my alarm every morning for the last two years.. Housemate has this number thing, sees one certain number everywhere she goes.

    I see fookin 11's everywhere. Started out with just 9:11, now its seems everytime I look at the clock its 11 mins past. There's some stuff on the net about it how its a phsycological thing the either the number means something to you or your trying to work something out and can't get it.

    I welcome my new 11 overlord :D

    Edit: Just remmebred, I work in it and regularly now the space on hard disk is 34.11 etc or....... it found me ahhhhhhhh the time its 11.01

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,519 ✭✭✭irish1967


    Late 70s in donegal no dial phones. Straight to operator. Numbers started at 1. I think council office was 1. Garda was 2 etc.

    Don't know who was 42.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 539 ✭✭✭Live4Ever


    34.





    Everywhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭Sanjuro


    666.

    Honestly.
    Same. It's in my phone number. So I must be predisposed to spotting it. Nothing more than coincidence.

    I see the number 1 everywhere, grrr, it's so annoying I'm sick of winning everything. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    At least 40% - 50% of doors in Ireland have the code 1978 or 8791 - So that is imbedded in my brain.

    The number 58 has always been around, and I guess I'd consider it my number. Not that its lucky.. cos I've won nowt with it.

    I always see 1337, every time its 13:37 i look at the clock or I would be doing sales request in work and it would run for 13 min and 37 seconds or it would be on the sheet some where. Also 666 in 2 personal numbers belonging to me

    222 and sometimes 666.

    222 is just everywhere. I listen to a song and I'll stop it at 222. I'll see a car and its reg plate will say 222. It'll be 2:22pm.

    And many, many more 222's.

    same here, although this might have something to do with me trying to kick gambling, and 11:11 eminds me of 4 Aces - always a nice hand to get in Holdem

    If I was you I wouldn't let your OH read this mail because if they see that you refered to them as your current OH they may start to wonder if you are maybe planning to replace them with a new OH sometime soon and then you'll be paying 234.00 in hospital bills because thats about how much it costs to remove a forcably inserted high heel from your ass :D

    Used to be 13, thankfully I have stopped seeing it everywhere.

    Probably just that I'm not looking for it as much.
