Went to Uni in Leicester with a lad called Darren (originally from Worcester)- when we finished he moved to leeds and i moved to Newcastle.

Scoot forward 2 years, First IT Job, working with Vandenburg, Speaking to Darren via email, tells me he's moved into a flat with this geordie lad who's a good laugh, apparently they went out that weekend and Darren pulled some lass and couldn't wait to get back to tell his new flat mate he's finally got his 'brown wings'

At this point The Van leans over and says his mate has just moved to Leeds and got a flat with a southern lad and they'd been out that weekend on lash, he then tells me this new flat mate only went a pulled some stinker and kicked her back doors in!

Me : "err... what? is this lad called Darren?"
Van : "err.. yeah"

Our 2 mates had got a flat together in leeds without knowing each other - bonkers.

Does anyone on here find that everyone seems to know everyone else you know, in some way, as if everyone's linked?

Like you meet someone for the first time, someone that you've never heard of before, and it turns out they know people you know!

This keeps happening all the time with me, it's weird!!!

I've had loads of stuff like this happen, going to try not to make too much of a massive post here (blatently will) but it's to do with random coincidences involving message boards.

I used another (none local) clubbing board for a few years along with another lad from middlesborough, I was at Shindig for Sasha in 2004 and struggling to get through the crowd on the dancefloor, someone sort of helped me through redface: ) I got talking to him and he said he was from Middlesborough and loved prog, I asked his name and he said "scott", I went "Scott J??" (had to be) and it was him.

Fast foward some months and I'm at someones house through the day in Felling, Some lad is there and I get talking to him and he says he's resident at Colours at the Arches, I say I know a few regulars (scottish lass and mates) who are always at The Arches, he asks their names and I can only manage first names (wasn't prepared to say internet names ), he asks if I use many messages boards then names the one I'm a regular of. Turns out we both knew who eachother were as we'd been posting along side eachother for years. Both a bit shocked.

Then at the Green festival last year I got talking to some kid, he said he was tripping on acid and 2c-b, I asked his name and he said Tom, knew straight away who he was and that I'd had him on msn for fucking years, I said his message board name out loud and he fainted, proper freaked him out.

A couple of months ago I was talking to two people on msn, both from Whitley Bay. One of them said he was off to the pub and the other said he'd be back in ten minutes. He came back and said he'd just gave someone a lift to the pub and was given ten valium for free, I asked if he was called David and he nearly shit himself (knew he'd just bought a fuckload from a website )

To coincide with Phil Mitchells theory (most cliche stoner theory ever? ), I believe Danny Habbit and Phil Mitchell know the bloke in story one, Teknofish knows the bloke in story two, Purvy knows the kid in story threes best mate and the one in story 4 knows who bracken is.

It's happened to me loads, multiple times where one lad is concerned.

happens to everyone, its canny freaky, last year i went to visit my brother in leeds and went out on the piss, we were then informed of a house party going on and decided to go. this house was absolutely miles away from the city centre, got lost and took us about an hour and a half to walk there pissed up. got there and bumped into this kid coming thru the door the other way. nearly freaked out like cos we used to go to college togetehr and he works in one of our locals.

bout two months ago in nottingham i also bumped into a ladi went to college with who is flat mates with a lad ive known in notts for about 2 years.
