I didn't realise it was *this* small a world. I stop into Rinkchat for a couple of minutes, and whom do I find there? Some Pommie newbie unknown to me. OK, not so amazing.

Turns out to have lived in my town for a couple of years. Slightly amazing.

Turns out to have been at the beach down the road from my house for last New Year's Eve. Slightly more amazing.

Turns out to be into sailing and flying, same as me. OK, unbelievably amazing.

Asks if I know a guy called _ _ _ _ who worked for the America's Cup website. I do. *I* worked for the America's Cup website. I sat *next* to the guy for six months and listened to him play his Gypsy Kings CD until you could see daylight through the disk and all our brain waves started to oscillate in the same rhythm as "Volare". Turns out he's now in the UK and is a friend of this guy.

Is it just me, or is this X-Files material?
