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

Dazzy Gazzy!?
I sort of come from the Isle of Man (i.e.: I lived there for most of my childhood). I've not been back for years.
It's a small place, so people often ask "Oh, I know someone from the IoM - do you know X?" like Americans asking we Brits if we know the Queen. Yes, the Island may be a tad inbred, but not everyone knows each other. There are a few dozen thousand people there, you know.
Twits.
Except, a mate of mine started a new job, and was amused to find that one of her fellow employees was from the hilarious backwater of web-footed no-tailed motorbiking and weirdness, the Isle of Man.
"Oh, I know someone from the Isle of Man!" says she.
"Yeah, everyone says that," says fellow employee. "Okay - who is it?"
"No Cake For the Impuritay."
"Shit! Never?" says Daz, my mate.
So I go to visit him. Strange, meeting someone you've not seen for all that time. We were kids when we last met, not in our mid-twenties, all growed up and jobbing professionals. Wasn't hard to recognise him: he looked exactly the same, except with a gaotee beard.
I was just going to say so, but Daz interrupts:
"Fucking hell, you look exactly the same, except with a goatee beard!"
