In the mid-Eighties there was a woman living in Leicester who was a dead ringer for my old University friend Vicky. I and many other people spoke to her on the street or in pubs thinking she was Vicky, and I shared a house with Vicky for two years so it's not as if I didn't know what she looked like.
A couple of years after the last of these sightings, Vicky went on holiday to Thailand. On her first evening there, some people came up to her in a bar and greeted her by another name. It turned out the Vickyalike woman had moved from Leicester to Thailand, and was a regular customer at that bar

The other day I was thinking about having a threesome with a couple of cracking birds and the next day it happened.
Then I woke up.

Oooh I have another one!
A girl I worked with was on a boating holiday in Italy or somewhere. Her and her husband made friends with another boating couple who bizarrely included the vicar who married Mrs MUN and me!

Also, recently a new teaching assistant joined my wife's school in Hampshire. She is the daughter of my old science teacher from the same tiny welsh village mentioned above.
Coincidentally my brother is the border control guard who should have denied them entry into England.

Strange coincidences?
I've had lots when travelling. They stopped when I threw away my copy of 'the lonely planet'.
