Big Brother is Watching

Posted by Ray Forster on 14/7/2025, 5:22 pm

When out walking my dog locally this morning, I bumped into my ex next-door neighbour. I asked how his son was doing.
Later, looking for something on Facebook, in the 'people you may know' section, who should be the first one? My ex neighbour's son.
And they say that your phone doesn't listen in. His first name was only mentioned once.🤷‍♂️

Ray, I have had very similar experiences to that involving someone whose surname I didn't even know and who lives in another country!

It's scary to me how much data is being hovered up by all these devices and used for who knows what purpose!

And I was having a chat with a mechanic about cars, of course!!

I mentioned my first car, a mini, Reg No ML 878B...

Next day? Up pops TWO photo's of it, from 1977, taken by a mate of mine, who currently lives in Texas, and haven't messaged him, or spoken for about 10 years.......

The photos were posted in 2021 on Messenger.... but I swear I've never seen them before...

MORE than a bit strange......

We seem to get a lot of those ‘Coincidences’. I had to laugh when someone ordered an Uber on tv and our smart speaker Alexa piped up that it could arrange that for us! 😄 To be honest we mostly have it unplugged because our internet is not good. We tend to use it mostly for playing music.
