Spoooky Coincidence
B3ta'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

It's How I Was Made
My grandmother was working as a barmaid in the late 1920s. A kind looking chap used to come in the pub every week or so as he was a travelling salesman. He was plucking up the courage to speak to her:
"So, what's your name?"
"Florence."
"Really? Thats my mothers name."
Florrie, me grandma, wasn't having any of this - this was a pretty lame chat up line at the time, but he insisted it was his mothers name. So Florrie asked for his name.
"William."
"Well that's a coincidence, that's my fathers name."
Turns out that Florence and William BOTH had parents called... Florence and William. Thus:
They courted, married, and stayed together for the rest of their lives.
AND THAT'S HOW I WAS MADE.
