I once owned a red Fiat Panda with registration number F278 GUD (Oxford). I parked the car in a supermarket car park in Lewisham (London), when I came back another identical, red Fiat Panda was parked next to it, it’s registration was F279 GUD.

My last name is Weathermon which is quite rare. In the mid 1980s, I was aboard a bus in Denver though I never lived there. I struck up a conversation with a lady and it go to names we both avowed a rare name and hers was also Weathermon. We made each other show ID to prove it. This may not seem profound unless you accept that Weathermon is one of the rarest names in the US.

Time and time again, I am listening to the radio or tv and working at the keyboard and hear the very word I am typing or had just typed!
It happens all the time.

One more and I will shut up. I was in Costa Rica about five years ago and started a conversation with a young couple who were from the states. He said guess which state and I said Idaho which was right and the young lady said “tell me something about me” and it just came to me that her initials were JW and that she was exactly twenty-one years old. JW were her initials and she had turned twenty-one the day before!

I was just thinking about my recent ex boyfriend and how “blank” and empty I feel sometimes and I was clicked “random coincidence” and nothing came up…just the “blank” screen…

I work in a garden centre and we needed a new delivery driver. So we got one whos name is Mark, about 4 months into his job, we needed a new cleaner for the Garden Centre so we did, His name was Dean. On Deans first day He is cleaning away and Mark comes up to him and says hello, then finding out that Dean is Mark long-lost slightly unidentical twin brother.

Turns out when Mark and Dean were born Their parents couldn’t afford two children so they adopted Dean, a few years later Mark did find himn again but lost contact with him and couldn’t find him again for 20 years til now. How weird is that?

About a week ago my boyfriend went on a school trip to a place called Holt in Norfolk, UK. I live in Essex but had never heard of this small town. On Friday just gone I was travelling to college, I was following a coach from Holt, Norfolk. I took a photo to show my boyfriend but forgot all about it after a day at college. Any way, I went to work today (Sunday) and a lady came into the shop. She told me she was travelling from Kent to Thursford in Norfolk and that her coach would be stopping at a place called Holt, had I heard of it? Of course I had! I think its bizarre that a small town I hadn’t previously heard of has come up three times in the space of a week. I googled the name Holt and it came up with a publishers in USA for learning materials. I am studying to become a teacher.

I got married 2 years ago in Thailand to a Thai lady she’s about 23 years younger than me,In May 2005 I brought her over to England on a 2 year visa. Three months later she was offered a job cleaning class rooms in the very school I went to 37 years ago.A few weeks ago she was offered another part time job cleaning offices in the factory where I started work when I left school.
Three weeks ago her friend asked her if she would be interested in working in the laundry at the local hospital in Blackburn where we live,she said yes and sent a CV in, on Monday she is going for an interview and a look at the job.
This is the very hospital where I was born.
