Do you believe in coincidencies at all?? It's just yesterday as I got to work the song "How to Save A Life" was playing as I got to the front door. This morning... EXACTLY the same thing happened... Odd, or what?

[Zoot]

Yea, I do.
In January Our family Cat died. I texted my father (who moved out 4 years ago for another woman, long story...) To tell him Tao died. He text back to say that that day, his girlfriends ex husband had to put down their family cat that day too...
I thought that was very strange.

Surely that's not a discussion, coincidences are a part of life.

When I was visiting family in the small town of Beaverlodge (still chuckle at that name) in Alberta, Canada, we met the neighbours who were English and had moved over some years ago - after chatting it turns out the dad used to drive a lorry through the village my mum lives in - and there are people three miles away that have never heard of that village.

[Vivienne]

Knew you would appear... I mean do you just dismiss things, or believe things are meant to happen... that's what I meant.

[MK Chris]

A coincidence is a coincidence... obviously some things are not coincidences (otherwise we wouldn't have conspiracy theories) but I think most things can be dismissed as a coincidence.

There's a place in the north of Scotland called Bonar Bridge, which always makes me smile when I drive past the sign for it.

Also, the road diagram on the sign is unfortunatly shaped like a flacid male penile machine. Coincidence? I doubt it!

[Vivienne]

You sometimes get on my nerves, Toph.. I reckon you may be a bit of a control freak. Personally, I don't believe in co-incidencies at all. End of.

[foot-loose]

I dont understand what you mean Viv?

So your song being on at the same time today and yesterday was what?

[Vivienne]

T'was something I was meant to hear... I don't know why, but this is what I think... I couldn't have timed that if I'd set out to do it... it gave me an odd feeling.

You don't believe in coincidences? There's not really a lot to not believe, it's just a case of when things that could have been connected happen without actually being connected; for example, I could say that it will rain tomorrow, and if it did then it would be a coincidence as I am not a psychic (and I don't listen to weather forecasts). It's a bit like Dom doing his weather, he just gives some vague weather report that, by coincidence, happens to be correct in some areas of the country.

[Zoot]

Ah, so you believe in Fate other than coincedencies?

Look, I don't live in a world of logic, OK.

Yes, I believe in fate, Zoot.

[Vivienne]

Sorry... I've only had about 1.5 hours of zzzzz's last night.

Nor a world of common sense it would seem...

[Boboff]

or friends, or sleep, or intelligence, or wit, or beauty.... I could go on.

[Vivienne]

O for heaven's sake !! I've got my own "common sense" ideas.... if I didn't, I wouldn't have lived this long.

Please don't...

Im not looking for an argument... only curious

What do you think is happening then when you walk in and the same song is on at the same time?

The obvious answer would be that the same person put the same cd on at about the same time (prob whenever they started).

[Vivienne]

I don't know what's happening now.... this thread is sending me round the bend... wish I'd never started it.

[Yudster]

As do the rest of us.

[foot-loose]

As do the rest of us.

Now come on, that was so obvious.

[Vivienne]

Sorry.... I'm off for a walk round this lovely industrial estate now... back later with more genius.

[Console]

What's the next thread going to be then, "Do you believe in UFO's?" ?

Hillington is a mess. We went on a tour of a factory there in School - Concord Chemicals it was called. They seemed to make lots of sex toys - I don't think the teacher knew that when she booked them to take us around the place. Not a good place to take a load of second years.

I got a free pen as well.
