Wardy Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you were in the same year surely that wasn't that strange a coincidence? I joined uni in third year and the classes were quite big. I'd say it was a bit random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I was the only customer in a poster/tat shop in Edinburgh very early one Saturday morning. Two boys, clearly still hammered from their night's activities, burst in and yelled "Angus" in my direction, before spouting off about "peeing himself". I didn't recognise them but they clearly knew me and were starting on me. Being sober and ready to go I was happy to get all Danny Dyer on these jaked ruffians. After a few harsh words from me they were a bit startled, apologised and explained they were simply quoting a line from Highlander. Much hilarity from the boozy pair when they discovered that I am called Angus, hence me taking exception to them bursting into this quiet shop and questioning my bladder control.

Funky Nosejob Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I joined uni in third year and the classes were quite big. I'd say it was a bit random. You only need 23 people for the chances of a matched birthday to be 50/50. The Birthday Paradox In my third year class at Uni we had less than 20 in the class and two pairs of matched birthdays. The class was for a degree in Statistics, so we didn't think it was that special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it did mention that it was just the date and month, not necessarily the year. The girl that had the same birthday as me had all 3 matches. what would we ever do without p&b??

1320Lichtie Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Just a random guess... Is it your birthday on 15th November? Was just away to say that. THT must have a ritual around that date that involves him getting a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Numerical coincidences are interesting, but no more. Here's one. My brother was born at 22 minutes past 2 on the 2nd day of the 2nd month. He's the 2nd son of a 2nd son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Was in Florida many years ago and was on one of those shuttle busses on International Drive. Noticed a guy wearing a Rovers cap and went up to speak to him telling him I was a season ticket holder. He totally blanked me and walked off the bus. Maybe Rovers caps are trendy and he had no clue it was a football team.....or maybe I'm an annoying walloper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
