Nah nothing like that - she had been married 6 years at that point and me and the Mrs weren’t even married so the timing of it all was pretty random. I impregnated her the morning after Man Utd won the Europa league final v Ajax and it was the day of the Scotland England griffiths free kicks we found out the news of pregnancies. I was also grotesquely over weight at the time and a full blown alcoholic slob recovering from 4 years of being a student and constantly posting on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, few random occurrences I know about Me and my mate were in a bar in Singapore and we got speaking to an Welsh girl. Bumped into the same girl the following year in Cairns, Australia. A mobbed Bondi beach in the middle of summer, speaking to a group of girls from the south coast of England. Turns out one of the girls had an auntie and uncle from Dumfries, who were both my teachers. My Auntie was walking down Rodeo drive in LA, and got tapped on the shoulder by a guy she went to school with 40 years earlier. In London on the same day, I seen my mates sister on the underground and seen a girl in a bar that I used to work with.

The travelling ones really aren’t as huge a coincidence as you might think - people from U.K. are forever going out to Australia / New Zealand to work and stop off in east Asia en route and will go to popular places for tourists to visit. Bondi area of Sydney and St Kilda in Melbourne are awash with Brits, you’re highly likely to bump into people you know from back home but people get all funny about it because it’s geographically so far away. Me and the Mrs were in a restaurant in Vietnam and two Scottish ladies heard our accents and started talking to us and found out I knew one of their friends and they couldn’t get over how outrageous a coincidence it all was when the reality was we were in a popular tourist destination and they began speaking to us because they knew we were Scottish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I once met my mum and dad at York races. Then I remembered I was only 12 and we were there on holiday together. Oh how we laughed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I was at an NFL game in Oakland California about 3 years ago and at the train station after the game I saw a young guy wearing a "Wildcats" hoodie. I say to him "that's a strange coincidence, I used to play for a team in Scotland called the Wildcats, where are your ones based?" It was the same team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Worked in a call centre for a mobile provider years ago, was blethering away to the boy next to me about fitba, and he was talking about players Celtic should sign and mentioned Irish international Kevin Doyle who was at Reading. Within maybe half an hour of that conversation, a call came through to me from Irish international Kevin Doyle who was at Reading. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six degrees of separation is the idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other. As a result, a chain of "friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. It is also known as the six handshakes rule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the remaining few uncontacted tribes in the Amazon? Or people who don't have friends? Utter shite theory. However, all people in films can be connected to Kevin Bacon through six or fewer co-stars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Posted a few out-there suggestions which Jim Jefferies then used in games. Stick Callum Morris up front and launch it at him being one. Probably my fault Pars never got promoted that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 A guy I work with on an ad-hoc basis has this remarkable ability to cause a rig/platform to have some form of drilling failure on a consistent basis, despite not being actively involved. Last week, two 'bottom hole assemblies' broke during drilling in the space of our first three days (leaving no drill bit on a drilling rig), happily adding five extra days to the timesheet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
