Can you remember a random dialogue

September 02, 2022

that you may have had, that was pretty random and maybe led to something unexpected?

Here's one of my recent ones:

In 2014 whilst teaching and living out in Tanzania, we became friends with Nessy, Chris and their kids. We all got on well together and remain friends. They now live in Cornwall and each Summer we stay with them, (see last week's newsletter for pics). On the last day of our visit, we usually go fishing with their friend Ben, who once narrated a short and beautiful film called “Plenty More Fish” I wrote about it here.

We don’t know anyone else in Cornwall except their mate Mary up the road and Kate in Cawsand.

I've just started a new role in Guildford with ZERO and the University of Surrey, and my line manager is called David Stokes. We got talking and discovered that his daughter was Bryony Stokes, the Director of "Plenty More Fish".

Pretty random I thought.

Please send over one of your random stories or two, as I'd love to include it, if that's OK, in a book I'm brewing...
