My daughter found out today that she house cleans for someone who moved from the same town in the UK as us - how mad is that?

There are mad coincidences indeed.

I was walking along the beach in Pattaya (Thailand) and bumped into someone I had dated many years previously in Bristol.

I had just had my son at Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong - and went out of my room to get a drink - there was a girl in there who I had worked with in Bristol 12 years prior, who had given birth the same day.

My neighbour in our gated community in the New Territories (Hong Kong) had moved from the road behind my (then) mother in law in Sussex.

Strange but true!

"Fans called the move “underhanded” and “dreadful.” Meanwhile, enough people blamed Brexit for the change that a Mondelez spokesman had to tell the BBC, “This change wasn’t done as a result of Brexit.”

And International football breaks so Ingerlund can play a meaningless couple of friendlies without a full team as players tend to get injuries and then miraculously recover in time for the North London Derby;)

But when it comes time for the World Cup they seem to never suffer similar 'little knocks'.

Recognising, of course, that there are one or two world cup qualifiers happening so there's be a break anyway. :nod:
