A few weeks ago I watched a fascinating documentary about some 1920/30's African explorers. It was a French production and I noted the name of the director.

Shortly afterwards I was selling a CD on eBay. The buyer had the same name and lived in France.

Turns out it's the same man!!

That's really spooky!

I once met a bloke called Jim. Same name as my Dad!



Once bought a power amp on ebay and decided to collect it. Turned out the seller was the very first regional organiser for the Herts/Beds region of TVRCC (a role I had at the time) and had recently emptied his loft of old TVR regalia ready to hand over to Sprint magazine.

Blimey! That's a bit of a hike, and some of that doesn't even have pavement either.

How long did it take you?

Question is why as ZR1Cliff is a taxi driver by trade didn't he get a cab?

In 1947 my parents bought their house from a man called Garrett. In 1987 I bought my first house from a man called... Garrett.

When I was about thirteen, I was kicking around Bahrain airport between flights (having given the BA nannies the slip as usual), and saw my mum, then we bumped into one of my stepfathers. All of us were travelling independantly, I was going to Dubai, my mum was returning to London and husband #2 was going to Nice.
