Spoooky CoincidenceB3ta'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.

Absolutley true...Sometime in the early 90s my Dad got his PSV licence in order to help the local school out and drive the coach for them when his free time permitted. One such trip was to the museums in Oxford. At the time arranged, Dad walked up the front steps to one of the museums to meet the kids at the main door and who should walk out but ex U.S President Ronald Reagan and his obligatory security men. He took one look at my Dad standing there in his tie and badge and proceeded to shake his hand and thank him, no doubt assuming that he was something to do with the museum.
Fast forward to 2001 and I was in Oxford with a Colombian girl I was seeing at the time, just doing the tourist thing for her benefit, having a nice day out. We noticed a crowd of people outside one of the museums and I asked a nearby copper what the occasion was.
"Bill Clinton's here", he says - "his daughter's starting university".
"Oh - where is he then?" I asked.
"Next to you sir".
And there he was. In running gear with all his goons around him. He shook my girlfiend's hand, shook mine, had a chat with a few other people and then toddled off into the crowd.
What's the chance of a father and son shaking 2 ex U.S Presidents' hands in the same town?
Spoooky.
