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.

go figurein a boozer in london, near putney bridge.
Had a few, a bit tanked - in this state I talk to all sort of random people, as you do.
Standing at the back of the bar in a quiet corner with missus and friends.
Guy walks past me in a "rhodesian rugby" shirt, I proclaim loudly "oh, rhodesian rugby, you from zim(babwe) then ?"
"yeah" he replies.
"I used to live in zim, many years ago, went to school there"
"Oh really - which school"
"courtney selous"
"so did I - what class were you in ?"
"the feller with the beard, mr robinson"
"me too. he ended up being headmaster. what year were you born?"
"1973"
"me too. whats your name?"
"pregnantfridge, yours ?"
"random bloke"
it turns out, the guy was my best mate when i went to school there in 1984.
He was trying to use the emergency exit to get out of the pub, which was the only reason he went past me.
in a city of 20 million people, in a country completely foreign to the one where we met, after my moving around the globe (lived in 15 different countries over the years), to run into your best buddy from 20 years ago ??
suffice to say i spent the rest of the evening acting like i had shellshock and even to this day i find it difficult to believe.
now thats a spooky coincidence...
