I love coincidences.
Yesterday I had to put some cheques into my personal account but had no paying in slips - used them all up. My local NatWest will allow me to pay into my RBS account only if I have an RBS slip, so I was about to toddle off into town. Hadn't had a new cheque book in nearly two years but there on the doormat as I was leaving, with cheques in pocket, was a brand new chequebook with six paying in slips at the back - perfect timing. Off to the local NatWest instead. Went to town afterwards anyway.
Some people are so struck by coincidences that they think that it is divine intervention, so I'm going to start the Chequebook Sect. Anybody want to join?

Immaculate Coincidences
Port is basically a red drink
Re: Immaculate Coincidences
When I came home from the Lake District today I fancied a glass of port. By strange coincidence there as a decanter in my wine fridge half filled with Fonseca Guimaraens 1988. Spooky or what?

Wow! I fancied some port this evening, and in looking about, I chanced upon a nearly-empty decanter of 1985 Dow, and then another decanter, which I suspect contains 1985 Martinez.

Re: Immaculate Coincidences
It is a strange coincidence that you and I seem to have had very similar coincidental experiences. Spooky or what?jdaw1 wrote:Wow!

Re: Immaculate Coincidences
Alas, my decanters now seem to be empty. I wonder if the spooky forces have caused that to happen to anybody else?
Re: Immaculate Coincidences
Seriously? I just can't believe this is happening! My decanters are sitting in an entirely empty statejdaw1 wrote:Alas, my decanters now seem to be empty. I wonder if the spooky forces have caused that to happen to anybody else?
I am now thinking it would be a good idea to fill a decanter with Port. Surely no-one else here would be thinking the same?

Re: Immaculate Coincidences
Phew. That string of coincidences was getting too much. Alas Paris-based port supplies are critical, cap’tn, and we can’t risk using more this evening. Whisky for me.

Me too! I was just standing in the kitchen, wishing I had something to drink, and suddenly there was an open bottle of 1997 Quinta do Tedo in front of me.g-man wrote:woah.. i just felt the spookiness.
