Re: Coincidences! Have you ever experienced one?
A man I used to work with, would work here for six months, then go home to family in Italy for six months. He did this every year. One year, his boss (also my boss) went on holiday to Italy. He and his wife plonked themselves down on a beach to only find that they were sitting next to him.Re: Coincidences! Have you ever experienced one?
One very stormy night, in 1956, I was on the bridge of a tanker (mv "Naticina") going North, up the China Sea, towards Nagasaki, in very stormy conditions.Re: Coincidences! Have you ever experienced one?
I had an odd coincidence yesterday. The gym has been closed down for the Isolation and the receptionist there also worked part time at a council facility and that was closed too. I was rung by a woman checking on how I was doing with the Covid-19 situation and I told her I had received a second letter telling me I no longer had to Isolate so everything was fine. She said my voice was familiar and she asked me if I went to this gym and I said yes, and it turns out she is the receptionist there and I know here quite well! The odds of that must be many thousands to one, really.Re: Coincidences! Have you ever experienced one?
A guy I used to work with in my very first job we became good friends. We was part of a electronics repair group that hung out together, went to the pub together, played sports together, he then had troubles at home with his wife and then the group never heard from him again. A number of redundancies later from different companies, I end up at another electronics company, a Chinese company that wanted a UK repair and test centre. Then one day we are told we must be on our best behaviour because some big boss from China is coming over. Come the day, all looking smart in our company uniforms, working away when we hear the group arriving. Then a few moments later, who should walk up to me and introduce himself? yep, you guessed it, the guy who i was friends with back in the day. The last time I had seen or heard anything from him was 22 yrs and there he was greeting me, needless to say we was both shocked because he was shocked to see me!!!. Here he is, some very important VP of the company and all we do is call out of names loudly and hug one another and get chatting about old times. This made my manager very angry because she and I never got on and here's me having a good ole chin wag with a company VP, OMG she was soooo jealous lol.Thread Tools | |
