I used to work for a small medical equipment company in Milton Keynes. Every year they held a user conference where they invited guest speakers from all over the world. I left that company and went to work for a Californian software company based in Silicon Valley. Once when I was visiting the head office we went out for dinner in a restaurant in Palo Alto. After dinner I went outside for a fag and got talking to this bloke and it turned out he'd been a guest speaker at my previous company's annual bash the month before, just after I'd left. What's the chances of that?

Stix broox had a better one...his doctor turned out to be schoolfriend to an ex stepdaughter & he used to take her to school. Apparently we all know by association everyone in the developed world by 6 degrees of seperation. There's a good application on facebook to prove this. There are only 4 degrees of seperation between myself an Jonathan Ross which I found worrying. jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

In 1993 I was driving through Bath trying to locate the house of my mother who I hadn't seen since I was three years old. Silly me, I was getting anxious and lost, not paying attention, and I ran over a pedestrian. Guess who it turned out to be... Oh dear! I think I ruptured my pomposity.
