Just sat in HK airport surfing around waiting for my flight to Taiwan when BenP stops and says hello. Random or what?

I'm amazed you can surf in HK Airport.

Met an old housemate from Leeds at the Pines Campsite in Arapiles a few years back. Had lost track of him 18 months previously when he went off travelling.

Having a coffee in Paris in 1995 when I looked up and realised the lady at the next table was my rather tasty English teacher at High School here in Australia back in the 70s! Amazingly, she remembered me as well.

Most bizarre of all was an encounter with a group of Australian Rules footballers from my home town here (Geelong) on an end of season trip to the UK who's bus had played up on the M6 so the driver dropped them in the town centre of Rugby where I happened to be living at the time. Anyway, imagine my surprise when I pop into town and find half the guys I played Under-15 footy with 15 years earlier wandering around looking for a pub at 10am on a Saturday!! I think the first exchange went something like "farckin'ell Dave ya old bastard, what are you doing here?", "errr.. I live here, what's your excuse!!??"

Bumped into a climbing buddy whilst wandering along the pier of Elephanta Island, Mumbai.

Neither of us knew the other was in India, I only decided to go there on a whim as my mate was confined to a no more than 2 metres from a toilet.

(I mean I went to Elephanta on a whim, not India)

Similarly, came out of a shop in Dehli and (literally) bumped into an old schoolfriend I hadn't seen in 10 years. The crowd was so dense that 5 seconds earlier or later and I would never have seen him.

Too bad you weren't signing me with 'Team Spaz Bukkake', I might have known who you were.

When I was doing some home office research my 'minder' said you need to meet x, he's a climber too.  Anyway after lunch we wondered over and went through numerous security checks and I tunred the corner to bump into someone I hadn't seen for years.  He was shocked and said basically, f--k me I didn't know you were in as well (security services) and my response was along the lines of I'm not and I didn't know you were.

Ps There's at least three quite good climbers at GCHQ.

I wonder who that could be ...    ha ha!   Mask On!
