Reminds me of my sister's 'Pineapple Surprise' - she genuinely forgot to put in the pineapple, so it was indeed quite a surprise!

My friend went to this bar/restuarant the other day that sells itself as a kind of 'urban chic'/contemporary dining 'experience'. Unfortunately when he went to order the girl said 'I'm on my own today, so I can only do garlic bread and chips'! Apparently Gordon Ramsay is thinking of making it his signature dish...

The other forum I participate in allows me to edit or remove my own posts but obviously nobody else's.

Other forum? On the side, you mean?

Multiple forums can be quite difficult to manipulate, though, can't they? Don't you ever get your posts mixed up?

Ooh, sorry, is this bigamy? No danger of confusing the two, the other one is on a very different subject and much more serious! And I never go on both at the same time.

God, no. It's more along the lines of making nocturnal visits to the "mistress", but I guess we all do that, in one way or the other.

Actually, I was just wondering how likely it is that two people, who are already related in one forum, accidentally meet while, well almost simultaneously, posting on another one. I think that could get quite interesting!

I think the odds would be stacked pretty high against this. It would indeed be interesting though and coincidences do happen. The very first thing I ever sold on ebay, I found myself posting to a house I used to live in as a teenager! Obviously it could have been anyone, anywhere in the world who won it and I haven't moved many times so I thought that was quite uncanny.

Surely, that had to be prearranged by someone, or something... It sounds too deliberate for it to be a mere "accident". But then, coincidences are just that, I guess. Well, whether intended or not, it is unnerving, but quite engaging, at the same time.

No, there's no way it could have been arranged. You can usually see what town a seller lives in, that's all - no name. And I live in a different town now from the one where the buyer was (and I used to live) if that makes sense!

Just a mere coincidence goldencup.
