Bizarre Coincidences...
Discussion
Had 2 today...
Opened a new pin number for an existing credit card and it's the same another card...
Was reversed into at the exit of a car park in the City - only to find that the person worked for the same company, and both in company cars...(good job I was calm and collected about it - she was a finance director) Only scratches on my car - nothing worth telling the insurance about - she's cracked her bumper!!

I went to school in Rome. I had a friend who I lost contact with when I left.
20 years later I was playing indoor cricket for a (tiny, hilltop) village team near Bury. A good friend, on the team, had a new girlfriend. He said to me
'You used to live in Rome. Did you know 'x'?' (expecting a 'it's a big city, you know' stylee answer)
Errrrrrrrrrr
Next thing you know they are getting married
It's a small world and I hate painting.

My cousin married the son of the guy who bought my parents' old house...
One of my bro's is married to a Julie;
The other is married to a Helen.
Helen is from Leicester.
I live with a Julie, from Leicester.
I used to live in Leicester Road.
There is a district of Leicester that shares its name with the road we live in now... I bought the house just as Julie and I met, I'd never been to Leicester.
Julie recently started a new job in Middlesbrough. The week after she started, one of the other staff in the department left to take up a new post.... in Leicester.

I was also born and dragged up in the Bristol area, and now live just around the corner from someone (didn't know them then) who used to live a few miles away. Not a great co-incidence per se, but seeing as I now live in Sydney, its a little weird, esp as we're the same age and reckon we've probably faced each other on the rugby pitch at some stage.
And during a particularly strange period when we lived in Weston-s-Mare, the old bloke in the flat upstairs from us grew up a couple of doors down from my grandfather and went to school with the rest of the family, in north Bristol.
I was with my dad visiting Seattle Washington and he decided while we where there to look up an old friend that he hadn't talked to in many years. And so he rang directory enquiries not really sure if he was even still living in Seattle.
I was waiting outside the Telephone booth while he told the operator who he was looking for and where he used to live only for the operator to demand to know who he was. Bewildered as to why he should be asked such a question he told her his name anyway only then to be told it was his friends wife!
She invited us around for dinner. Now thats what I call a helpful telephone service.

Twice recently I have had weekends away from home in the UK. While away, I have visited unusual monuments/historic houses.
On my return home the same historic house/monument has been featured in a bizarre manor on TV.
One was used in a S&M soft porn stylee comedy film and we had only been talking with the owners 4 days previously! The other was in a programme about the designer/builder who was executed by Elizabeth the 1st.
Anyone remember the slightly bizarre weblink posted on here a few weeks ago with featured a game to save an asteroid? When I followed the designers website, it linked through to a checzh (SP?) jewelery designer whose exibition I had been to the weekend before.

My home phone number and my mobile number used to be exactly the same digits in a different order.
A friend once introduced me to another friend of hers and it turned out she was the cousin of my old next door neighbour about 10 years previously and had visited my old house during a party.

Me and Wifey went for a day trip to a castle, about 50 miles from home.
Turned up and parked in the car park, looked out of my side window and my Dad and his Woman pulled into the same car park.
He lives 50 miles in the other direction.
To cap it off, I was wearing brown shoes, blue jeans, blue jumper and blue jacket. Guess what he was wearing! x 2

x 2A fellow PHer, cptsideways, runs a drifting club called Conedodgers. However, he is currently on the Plymouth - Dakar, a charity challenge. Imagine his surprise, two days ago... he was on the ferry from Gibralter to Morocco when somebody noticed the car (covered in stickers) and wandered over for a chat. Turned out he had already booked on the next drift day!
