What experiences have you had of bumping into someone you know in unexpected places. I remember when I went in the Millwall home end (see other forum) and for the return game 3 Millwall lads came and stayed at mine for the return. Well about 3 years later I was going to an England game and was stood on a packed platform at Baker Street waiting for the tube when I looked round and saw 2 off the Millwall fans stood next to me waiting as well.
Also, just recently when I went to The Brain Tumour UK Conference in Redditch I sat down in the main hall and was talking to a friend and happend to mention Grimsby. The couple in front of me turned round and it turns out they too were from Grimsby and only live about half a mile away from me but we had never met until that day. Later we also found out we were in adjoining rooms in the hotel too.

I wet to Ibiza a couple of years ago and saw and old mate of mine working as a p.a for one of the bars down the west end which was wierd. It ended up being a very good night though due to alot of free shots :P.
On a slightly different note i've recently found that a friend of mine form Hull who has gone out to work in Portugal has met another friend of mine working out there and are now very good friends!

I went to school with a lad I know, and in year 8 he moved back home to London. Two years later I bumped into him in Marmaris, Turkey on holiday.

Parked next to a car in the south of France and started talking to the couple,
It turned out they lived in a village a few miles up the road from me ,
Never met them before but parked right next to them 800 miles from home.

A lad I went to school with went to New Zealand for a long summer holiday with his parents. They were in Christchurch, went into a cafe for a coffee and our history teacher was sat inside.

Don't forget, we're all only 6 steps away from every other person on the planet...

When I was in Toronto I met two people from Gainsborough and on the same trip, while watching the 2005 champions league final in a sports bar, I met some Haarlem Supporters who knew a bit Grimsby because Menno Willems and Laurens ten Heuvel had recently been playing for them.
