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.

My oldest friend...Cuple of months back I get a text from the mammy asking if I knew a certain individual. I reply saying I do as he's a good friend of mine, the reply was just 'small world'. I shall explain...
She had been out with work and was in a taxi headin home when she got chatting to the driver about where he lived etc. He lives in Swords but used to live in Blanchardstown (Dublin for those not in the know).
'So did I' replies my mam. 'Where bouts?'
He tells her and she goes 'thats weird, me too! Wat number?'
'134' He replies. 'We lived in 144!'
Upon further enquiry it turned out they lived across the road from one another and were once upon a time good friends. They started asking about each other's kids wen the taxi driver asks 'whats BigFatPaulie up to these days?'
'Oh he's studying engineering in college'
'So's my lad, what college?'
'TCD'
'Jaysus, so's my youngfella, wat kind of engineering?'
'civil, wat about your lad?'
'same! what year's he in?'
'final year'
'So's my son!'
I then get the aforementioned text and it turns out one of the guys I've been hanging around with for almost two years used to live across the road from me as a kid! The two of us were friends even back then! He even has pics of the two of us playing together at his 4th birthday party! Spoooky!
