So, you're curled up with a good book....

[dellzeqq]

and the doorbell rings. So you go to the door and open it.

Now - what are the chances that the person at the door is the author of the book???!!!!

And what was the name of the book?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Was it Maxwell Hutchinson?

On the subject of 'what are the chances...', we've just sold our house and the people who've bought it are the same folk that bought the last house we sold! What are the chances of that?

 

[Bayerd]

Is this some sort of cryptic question that I'm about to rack my brain over and then groan when the answer is revealed, or did it really happen?

 

[Andy in Sig]

Tax Collecting For Beginners by The Man from the Revenue?

My life in telly by Susie Field? She'd forgotten her keys and this is a none-too-subtle way of publicising it?

 

[dellzeqq]

no - sorry.

Here's the offending tome........

there was a double take moment, when we both looked down at the book, and then burst out laughing.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Now that is a good book!

 

[srw]

no - sorry.

I was going to suggest that...

Incidentally, as you'd expect, I'll point out that statistically speaking coincidences are really not that surprising. It's just that we don't register all the many millions of times when a coincidence doesn't happen, so coincidences take on a bigger significance than they should.

 

[Dayvo]

I was going to say The Bible....!

 

[Dayvo]

Oh, and I'm still waiting for someone to lend me a copy!

Of AA's book, NOT the bible!

Nah, it's always happening to Dell, just last week, he had Charles Dickens cold calling on behalf of Everest.

Address?

I want it back though please

 

[TVC]

I hope you had plenty of tie wraps so he could make it home.
