Small world? I'll Say!!!

Let me caveat this post by stating for the record that I am absolutely rubbish at remembering names and faces of people that I have met. In fact, when I was younger we used to go clubbing every Friday at the same place, and almost every week for about 6 months one of my friends brought his cousin along...

Anyway, we stopped going for a while, and then a few months later we went back and this guy was him, and I had no idea of who he was or what his name was until he told me, which he found a bit strange (as I guess you would)....

Anyway, I've been at a Toronto Blue Jays Baseball match against Chicago White Sox tonight (Chicago won 6-4), and a very strange thing has happened. Sat immediately behind me are two people that I recognised (which seeing as I've only been here two weeks is strange in itself).....But what is weirder is where I remember them from, which was.....

My honeymoon, two years ago, in Sri Lanka. They were also on their honeymoon from Nottingham and we met and chatted for a couple of hours and that was it.....unsurprisingly they didn't recognise me, but obviously something they did has stuck in my mind.....

I'm not a mathematician, but the odds of meeting (and remembering) the same people in two completely different parts of the world must be staggering......

very, very small world this is you know
