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.
What spoooky* coincidences have you encountered?
* spoooky should always have three o's. 100% fact

21st Birthday partiesI started going out with a young lady in my home town. Nothing serious, I saw her on the odd weekend when I came home to see my folks.
Anyhoo, I'd only been seeing her a couple of weeks, when she announced that it was her 21st birthday party the forthcoming Saturday, and asked me if I'd like to come down for it. Cool.
Anyway, as I was her BF of the moment, I was cadjoled into having the first dance with her in front of her assembled friends and family, and the night ended without incident.
Keeping up so far?
The following Monday I was back to work as usual in the big city. The next weekend was the 21st birthday party of a rather attractive young lady who I worked with, and I was invited, along with a number of folk from work.
We played badminton together on Monday nights, and as usual ended up in the pub. There had been a bit of a chemistry thing between us from the off, and I suppose it was inevitable that we ended up sharing a snog over a cheese toastie. Having finally seen the light, I phoned the home town girl the following night to call the whole thing off.
Can you see where this is heading? That Saturday night, I attended the 2nd 21st birthday party in consecutive weeks where I was actually going out with the birthday girl.
Ok, not so much a coincidence, as more the uncontrollable lustings of a 21 year old arsehole.
Incidentally, I married the badminton girl, and I've not managed to shake her off since. :)
