Travelling up through Bali heading for Java. Off the beaten track a bit but still a tourist attraction I was with a girl I met on the plane from Darwin who I previously bumped into in Sydney and Koh Samui the year before. I was also with a Welsh girl with a well spoken English accent.

We sat in a restaurant behind two Welsh women in their 60s . I got talking to them. And introduced them to my Welsh friend.

Well anyway, they come from Swansea ... Welsh friend went to University in Swansea, was best friends with one of the woman's daughter while studying.

Gregory told me that a girl we know was also out there. Julie

Julie will be ""Gregory's Girl" then...!!

Ghff

I still see Julie now and then. Gregory lives in Australia now. He liked to exaggerate. When I met him a few months later in North Qld he had a broad Australian accent.

The next time I see him was back home after he spent time in South Africa. He then had a broad Afrikan accent.

Back to Sydney. More than likely one of my best.

I'm sitting in an Italian restaurant on Bondi.
Me and my Girlfriend were meeting our Scottish friends for a night out in Sydney..

They introduce us to 2 Canadian guys.

Where you from I asked.
Pete said Kitchener ... I know Kitchner .. that's were Lennox Lewis grew up and Lou lous the longest bar in the world. Yes how do you know that...

I lived in Burlington I said..

Mark then says I live in Hamilton the next city from Burlington.

I know Hamilton very well... I said

he told me he lived by Limeridge mall. That's up the top of Upper Wentworth Street isn't it.
I said

He then told me that was the school he went to...
So did my cousins I told him..... he knew my cousins

He told me that his best mate Ted was about to marry my cousin Mandy.

Is that not nuts....

My Dad in stand still in traffic in the M25 at the M11 junction... coming back from a job.
Nothing moving.

He gets a Bib from the left. My middle brother was in the car beside.

They get out and have a chat....

A Bib from behind..... it was my eldest brother..


Not that strange you may say... . Middle brother at the time lived in Banbury Oxfordshire and my elder brother lived in Yorkshire..

I wonder when we'll be allowed to 'bump into' someone again?

Well funny you say that. I was in hospital September Cambridge. One fella Bob in an opposite bed come up to me on the way to the loo. Said we had a mutual friend John.

We met 10 year ago on a day out in Cambridge.

I said when we are home I'd bring him some local honey when passing his home....

I did knock but he had died just before Christmas.

Hong Kong 1995
I'm standing at the left hand lift of 2 at the Changking Mansions

Me and this other white fella waiting for each lift. I recognised him from school. Because is I was in the middle Kowloon I sort of questioned if it was him or not.... I never liked the fella so I never said hello. He never liked me hence why he never said hello, but he see me ok.
But I was not 100% it really was him.

A few months later back home I come to work around his sisters house. Coincidence

I asked about him, and she said he was working in Hong Kong. So it was him... year or so later we walked past each other in safeways, and said hello to each other half a mile from where our school was.
