Spoooky Coincidence
B3ta's very own Fraser was once a cycle courier. On one job out to docklands his radio gave out, so he had to find a public phonebox to ring back to base.
He'd just located one when it began to ring. Picking it up, it was (obviously) a wrong number, but Fraser recognised the voice. Turned out it was a mate of his he hadn't seen for ages.
What spoooky* coincidences have you encountered?
* spoooky should always have three o's. 100% fact

Nigerian Butcher
My Dad grew up in a small Suffolk village, in which there was (and indeed still is) a butcher's called Ruse's. When i was in Nigeria in a small town called Port Harcourt (helping rape the economy as an employee of Halliburton) I went to a bar and started to talk to the owner. Not a very old bloke. Turns out he was from a town in Suffolk called Bures (pronounced "Bewers"). Then it turned out that he used to ride a delivery bike for the same butchers. Well, I thought it was a massive coincidence. Sod the lot of you.
