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.

* spoooky should always have three o's. 100% fact

Another oneMy now-wife took me round to meet her Grandparents for the first time and left me with her Grandad who, although a really nice bloke, loves the sound of his own voice and can waffle for England.
Was losing the will to live and slowly drifting in and out of sleep while he droned on, when I suddenly heard him mention a tiny little village in the middle of the Forest of Dean where I lived for 18 months as a kid. They live near Manchester.
Turns out they had been there on holiday while I lived there and stayed at the only guest house for miles around which was not 100m from my front door. The village is that small it is not on many maps of the UK and has a population of less than 100.
Got all excited for about 30 seconds, then he went back into waffle mode again and I nodded off for a while. I don't think he noticed.
