Not bad! I've got an even better one though...
(I did post on here about it at the time)
There's another forum I'm on (not a web forum like this, it's a Newsgroup), I've been on there since 1998. This other guy, who's been posting on there even longer than me, asked if I'd do him a favour and get some tickets to see New Model Army, who were playing in Portsmouth where I live.
Apparently he doesn't have a credit card or any method of paying for the tickets. So I agreed to buy the tickets and also buy one myself and go with him to the gig.
On the day of the gig he gets the train from Bournemouth and I meet up with him. As it's still early,we go for a beer before the gig.
So, while chatting to this guy, who I've vaguely known on the net for years, it turns out that we both grew up on the Isle Of Wight.
So I was like "No way! Whereabouts?"
He says "Cowes"
"Ha, that's where I'm from."
He says "Oh, you'll know Sun Hill then?"
By now I was getting freaked out ... "You've got to be kidding, I used to live in Moira House flats on Sun Hill"
He looked as amazed as me. He said he used to live in Moira House, Flat Zero (how many blocks of flats even have a flat numbered Zero?)
Guess what number flat my family lived in? Yep; Flat Zero.
What are the chances of that?
It turned out that his family must've been the family that moved into that flat after my family moved out. He definitely wasn't pulling my leg either, he was able to describe the place exactly, like how the kitchen was on a raised floor one step higher than the rest of the place.
It was bloody spooky!.
