It always amazes me how small this world of ours truly is and how often strange coincidences occur.
Just a few months back I ran into, in a virtual sense of course, not literally, the author of 'Welcome to my world', who it transpired lives only a very few miles from me, used to work within 5 miles of me when I lived 'darn sarf' and shares a very similar name.
Again, just a few days ago Lisa and I were contacted by a lady wanting her blog redesigned. I was assigned to the task and on mailing her for details discovered she lives in Cheshire. My ears pricked up a little having lived there myself for almost 15 years and we began an exchange of mails that weren't altogether about blog redesign! This coincidence is even greater than the first.
The lady in question lives just 4 miles from my old abode, we know all the same places, went to the same pubs etc, her brother worked for the same company as I did, in the same store, she and I worked literally within feet of one another for some time, we must have walked pat each other almost daily for a while, we possibly know some of the same people via a different job, we both smoke, we both are cat obsessives and we are both terrified of spiders!
What a truly virtual 'global village' this is, that of the millions of people out there on the web, two people from such a small area should run into one another! Amazing.
On a completely different subject now, isn't it fab to have Blogroll 'playing the game' again, suddenly the blogosphere has come alive with people updating :o)

It's an incredibly small world. I could go on and on about coincidences like you describe. The latest one that amazes me involves a blogger that most of us read. It turns out he lives across the street and a few houses down from the home where I lived as a child. In one of the photos he put in his blog, I can see the soundwall of the freeway that drove us from that home. Over 400 miles from where I live now. Small world.
Completely amazing, that even more so than my instances. I supppose now I have to blog surf until I find the pic you are talking about to define who it is!? hehe
Let me guess. Is it beFrank?
