    Bumped into a guy in Crescent Shopping Centre Limerick.

    Nothing strange about that , until I remembered that the last time I saw him was in Iraq in 2008.

    Walking through China town in Kuala Lumpur and I saw my cousin. Walked up to him, gave him a hug and he was a bit shell shocked to see me.

    He was with his friend who says "who's yer wan?". He says"My cousin from home!". Friend says "ah would ya feck off".

    Went on holiday to Cyprus years ago with my brother. Turned out the people in the apartment next door were regulars in the restaurant I worked in at the time that I knew fairly well from coming in

    Walking on the street. Someone's house. Cafes

    Don't know how unlikely all of this is though.

    I met a lad who lived 200m down the road in the reception of a backpackers place in Brisbane. Hadnt spoken to him in at least 15yrs at that point. Turned out there was a gang of them there and I knew a few more of them...

    Sitting in a soul food place in New Orleans having lunch and chatting away. Hear a voice behind me - "LenaClaire... is that you?" One of my friends from school was on holiday there as well :)

    I noticed my former school principal, collecting his bag in prague airport. I wasn't on a school tour before anyone ask. This was a number of years after I had finished in school.

    I met my mam during a massive orgy at Berlusconis mansion in Italy. Could not believe it!

    Some amount of bad attempts at humour on these threads.

    Ha !

    Same here. Those were the gigs where people on the dole got in for free.

    The trout I kne was signing on in about 3 different places at the time.

    On a construction site in far east Russia. Our respective homes where we grew up were about 100m apart!

    Coppers.

    About 2 weeks ago bumped into a pal from college that I hadn't seen in the last 5 years.

    Joyful reminiscing ensued....

    Met my dad at the std clinic. We were both there meeting friends for moral support and neither of them showed up. Coincidence or what.
