Title: Small world ain't it?
Post by: Slacker on May 13, 2012, 07:21:09 PM
I've been thinking back how many people on this (and the other) forum I have connections with in the Real World.

I'd met Pete several times before I found out he was cousin of someone I worked with years ago (therealJR)

I met Gert some years ago before the forum was formed.

Dave numbers ran an old forum I used to post on.

Indalhombre worked with my wife some years ago.

Alan is someone I knew years back, mostly through my in-laws.

Smeat and Sap1ent were in my mum's class in her last year before retiring as a teaching assistant.

Old poster Zycomm works at our place.

And the latest thing is I've just found that old Cruser is sister of someone I've worked with since 1985 !!

(hope I haven't missed anyone)

>> Bet you didn't know Pete was my love child...

So, you're in you mid to late 70's...  :P

Just to add to the list, I worked, although not for the same company, with Slacker's daughter a few years ago, talented lass actually.

Seems your v well connected Andy. :)

Aye you did that Mr Slackly.  I flogged you some tickets as I recall.

Crikey, it seems ages since I was on here.  I can't access the forum from my usual daytime place so have been missing an awful lot.  I hope you're all OK.

Would I know you by name, knew quite a few from her class at St H ?

We were in the same year at St H and both faced the wrath of Miss Clark by going to V M to do Nursery Nursing. I also did quite a lot of supply at Ashgate when my children were little. Still in the same line of work but in a mainstream school for the last twenty odd years.  :)

To get back to serious (SIMON by the way "As far as I know, I have no link to anyone on here.  Or do I?". YES YOU DO you mend my computers at work).
Years ago Mum went to New Zealand to visit middle brother and decided to go to Chapel one Sunday morning.  After the service she met the minister who asked her where she came from, she replied Chesterfield, at which he replied "my sister lives there" after a bit more conversation it was revealed that sister worked at Woolworths and her boss was my wife.
Mum, Dad, her Sister and her Husband were walking down the front at Benidorm (as you do), next minute a woman ran towards them pushed Mum and Sister aside and started hugging Dad.  Turns out to be his Sister who he hadn't seen for donkey's years.
