Many years ago, aged about 20, I had a boyfriend who was boringly normal
He loved football, he drove a sensible car, he worked in a factory, he didn't have an irrational phobia of microwaves or think the moon landings were faked, etc.

Then one day, he talked about his ex. He told me she'd given him amazing insights into the future of the world, so I sat up and listened. The channel tunnel was just coming to completion at the time and it was big news.

This guy told me, completely straight-faced, that when complete, the tunnel would send a massive shock wave up the length of Britain, that most of Europe would sink under the sea and that he was one of 44,000 "chosen ones" who would survive. Because his ex had given him that power, apparently.

I left him soon after.
