Something weird happened today but no-one seems to think it's that weirdI was jogging this morning and happened across a couple of ladies in full, traditional African dress. This might not seem unusual to those of you living in ethnically diverse cities, but I live in Norwich, and it's completely unheard of here. Moreover, this happened near Carrow Road football ground, which I don't spend much time around cos it's three miles from my house. This is at 8am.
What are the chances of me happening across my first sighting of traditional African dress in 13 years living in Norwich near a football ground I never visit on the day that the first ever World Cup to take place in Africa kicks off?

So if I understand this correctly...You happened across something hadn't seen before in an area you don't generally visit, on probably the most likely day to see this thing. I don't think you understand how experiencing things works.

It's a highly unlikely occurence happening in a part of the city that I never visit on the one day upon which the coincidence would have special resonanceactually

I see your pointIn which case it's still a massive bastard coincidence because I hardly ever get out there, but happened to today.
Also, Kristine, as you're American I will be forced to pretend I don't like you until about 9.30pm British time tomorrow evening, and for much longer if your lot beat us, my apologies in advance

That made me giggleTypical British repressed pessimism requires me to make noises about how we'll need to play to the best of our ability to get a result against a tricky opponent
But we really ought to batter you

I've attempted to watch football once, it was so_fucking_boringI changed it after about 15 minutes, most exciting bit was when some guy got hit by the ball and his face bled for a bit
But I'm going to watch it tomorrow, and FUCKING DRINK

Please don't ever post again, please? Oh and if you could die too, that'd be a bonus

WellToday a masai warrior in full beaded attire walked past my house.
Earlier in the day, a woman dressed as some kind of saxon lady in homespun garments.
TBH although it was a little away from the usual and I did do a double take, it made a change from the usual Hare Krishnas, Sufis and Buddhist monks
