So, I went to NYC for a long weekend, and just as I get to Times Square...I bump into a friend from home! How crazy is that???

(sorry I've been away for so long, holiday followed by 2 days of safari not being able to load Freeola) :(

and you come back to win a GAD! You're obviously having a lucky week!

I know so many people who've gone on holiday and bumped into neighbours or friends, it just shows that it's a small world.

Manhattan is one of the most popular tourist destinations all year round, maybe even more attractive with the £ over two to the $

I find coincidences like that more surprising when you meet someone at the airport, on the same flight, to the same resort and hotel. It's happened a few times now, all be it from the 'local' airport as opposed to a much larger one like Heathrow or Gatwick.

I had quite a surprise in Tenerife, staying on the North side (away from "This Is England" in the south of the island - which would be great if I was going with a group of mates on a booze cruise, not for much else) and meeting someone in the apartments we were staying in. He'd left a couple of days before and we ended up going on a trip to La Laguna, a way up the island. We went to one of several stretches of beach on the island and there was the person who'd left the hotel a few days back in Puerto de la Cruz, on the beach. It was strange in that we didn't take an organized tour and it's still not the most popular part of the island, or even close. Seemed a strange place to meet someone..

In Brittany I bumped into the kid I used to change next to in PE.

And in a theme park we bumped into our nextdoor neighbours (no idea we were both going to Wales, but strange).

It's a low chance but high probability, isn't it?

Very odd.
"What's going on here then, eh?"
Similar thing happened years ago. I was in Weymouth for a break, went to watch Independance Day at the cinema and saw one of my old classmates in there sitting a few rows back. Freaked out a little.

Strangely, that just reminded me that I went to see Independence Day twice in Exmouth cinema.

Can't have been anything else on the second time (that's my only explanation). Ah, but how do I explain having it on DVD as well? Oh.

The day America and Bill Pullman saved all our lives. God bless America *saluts* Next time those bloody aliens come back, they better have decent anti-virus software installed.

Nothing but admiration. I have been complimented on the church site that I manage through you and everybody thinks I am an IT genius. Your support is unquestionably outstanding.
