I had a similar experience when pulling into Arsenal station when we played them away a few years ago. I was with a mate though, not my wife.Gribbo said:Giving my ex one in the train toilet as we pulled into Shagborough12 -

For only the second time in my life I am in a Spoons (The George, Littlehampton) I'm sitting in exactly the same chair, at the same table* as my previous visit. That's never happened to me before.

Dont do what we done Peterborough away a couple of years ago - Order some food using the app, wait 45 minutes for our food to come out, then get told by the barmaid we ain't even in Spoons when we complain about the time its takinStig said:For only the second time in my life I am in a Spoons (The George, Littlehampton) I'm sitting in exactly the same chair, at the same table* as my previous visit.

Similar happened to a mate in The Greyhound in Bromley North. Ordered on app and complained when his food was very late.Gribbo said:

Watching the parliament channel and it's a lord's committee meeting and reminded me to look up lord Strathclyde who was on radio4 the other night bemoaning the cessation of the 92 remaining hereditary peers. Find his parliament.uk entry and glance back to the TV to see he himself chairing the committee I'm watching, the Lords Constitution Committee. It's on right now if anyone else fancies it.

About 10 years ago when I was driving a van for a living, I was heading back from the Watford area on the M1 towards mill hill on a late Friday afternoon, my eldest son who had been working away in Liverpool always drove home for the weekend. I get a phone call from him telling me to look right, it was him in the next lane to me heading in the same direction.3

Unless every other chair was occupied, Stig, that's not coincidence, that's called "Sitting in the same chair I sat in last time"...Stig said:For only the second time in my life I am in a Spoons (The George, Littlehampton) I'm sitting in exactly the same chair, at the same table* as my previous visit.

Don't know if this counts as coincidence either, but for those that have not heard the story, they have been renovating Crystal Palace Park, and the giant bust of Joseph Paxton is being moved. When they lifted the bust one of the workers involved found some coins and a note saying that the money was part of winnings from a bet on a horse called Santa Claus in the 1964 Derby, it advised the finder to put money on a horse with a Christmas related name in the year they found it.
Well coincidentally (?) there just happened to be a horse running this year called Christmas Day, and it only bloomin' won!
The chap who found the note was originally from Romania - his name is Craciun Marius Dorin; Craciun translates from Romanian into English as... Christmas.
*Cue Twilight Zone music*

So on Saturday morning my mate had a hole in one playing golf. Went in clubhouse after and bought everyone a drink. Round come to £52.50.
Went home, came back to the club in the evening for a race night. Walked in just before they started the first race, he quickly put a £5 bet on. Horse won at 19/2, his winnings…£52.5016 -

Leading a motorcycle trip over the North Yorkshire Moors last week, we dropped down into a valley down a steep hill. A sign on a bend near the bottom said "Ford", whereupon a Ford car came round the corner. Silly but it made us laugh

My grandfather told us more than once about the time he was on a train and about to open up his sandwiches when the train drew into Nuneaton.10

Whilst out with Magnus this morning, it suddenly became clear to me that I always walk around Fanny anticlockwise. Then thinking that I know about 4 or 5 Addicks, who all do the same as me. However the spanners I meet ( about 3 or4) when out with their dogs all go around Fanny clockwise. Just go to show their brains are totally different to us.2

@Algarveaddick, what FB group is that, please?Algarveaddick said:I am reading a book that mentions a marque of car called a Delahaye, which I had previously not heard of. On Sunday someone posted a picture of a Delahaye in an Art Deco facebook page I am a member of.
Considering it's not a train, it's a pretty sexy mode of transport. 0 -

Got a corking coincidence told by Clive on our recent Arnhem trip. I’d post it but wouldn’t do it justice. Would outdo any posted so far.0
