Things that remind you of random, unrelated things

I remember hearing on radio 4 about the Titanic’s sister ship Britannic (which also sank) as I was driving round a particular bend along a county road. That was the first time I’d ever heard the Titanic had a sister ship, but every time I subsequently drove round that particular bend, the Titanic’s sister ship popped into my mind.

Reminds me of my parents rover 3.5 powering up the hill from Wycombe to Marlow.

She, Titanic, was the sister ship to Olympic, which was the first of the three ships.

Pardon the clumsy thread title, but I can't think of any other day to express the condition by which every time I see the front end of an Austin 1800 "Landcrab", I think of Cliff Michelmore.

Why is that? And are there other examples of this madness to relate?

Red corvette?

People say that Coldplay songs send them to sleep but I associate the opening bars of "Clocks" with all the fun of skiing down the slopes after too many gluwein.

All because of a skiing trip when the track was released; it was seemingly blaring out from every single mountain bar & restaurant, and that association has stuck ever since.

The verdict on the Polish missile strike reminds me of the scene from Thirteen Days where the reconnaissance plane returns with 'bird strike' damage.

For years, cooking a fried breakfast (particularly the sausages, for some reason...) reminded me of the Gannel estuary and Pentium III processors.
No, not a clue.
It doesn't happen these days, no idea why!

Whenever I see electrical conduit, I start wanting a cup of tea.

Whiff of bad drains - for years reminded me of the freedom of youthful inter-railing. Think it had some connection to London Victoria station.

Bad drains remind me of Rural France in summer. Every village had the same smell!

Goatee beards (with moustache) remind me of hens’ bottoms.
