Its a small world!

[Raven]

I was away at the weekend for my wife's, nan's funeral. Anyway, it turns out one my wife's cousins is married to a guy that I buy most of my camping gear from, I bought loads of stuff off him last year. Then sitting down to breakfast this morning and it turns out my wife's aunty's, Husband is the brother of my old next door neighbour. bearing in mind my wife's family are all from Lancashire.

It got me thinking about connections, out of 60 million people (or whatever) I meet the random bloke I have been buying gear off and someone related to my old neighbour.

What's that rule about only being 6 people removed from everyone you know?

It is true how small a world it is, you can be on holiday in a different country and meet people you have connections to.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah the 6 link thing, where you can connect any two people in the world via 6(or less) other people.

Not sure on the basis of it, ut hey, could be.

Yeah it's a small world for sure;

Last weekend(short story, shortened sentences), at bar, someone said "are you (last name)", i said yes, she said bullsh*t, i showed ID, she said "no way", i said "why?", she said "Because you look exactly like my mothers friend who is named (same last name)".

Not related in any way, freaky as sh*tcakes.

Was in Turkey last year, my mum bumped into an old school friend of hers who is living out there, they hadn't seen each other for 40 years.

My best mate Daryl, his niece just got engaged to to a guy who is my brother-in-laws best friend. None of us knew about the connection until the engagement party, they all live miles apart and didn't go to the same schools.

Really is a small world.

What's that rule about only being 6 people removed from everyone you know?

That´s the "global village paradox" and as far as I remember, the average number is 4.

hehe my 18th birthday I was having my first legal beer and these guys were in my local, never seen them before and they came up and we started chatting, i mentioned it was my birthday, the older guy asked what my name was and when I said he started laughing. Turned out 18 years ago he'd been drinking with my father when he got word that I'd been born.

Small, but perfectly formed

Went out drinking in Newcastle ages ago...first bar we went in had a familiar face behind the bar. Turned out to be Ronnie, the guy who ran the Europa nightclub in Sheffield where I used to get cheap drinks after we closed up next door (glass collector in Gossips). Well, got free drinks until my mate Dave shagged his missus (trampoline instructor, very nice...)

Nice guy actually, was fun to catch up.

 

[Ezteq]
