Your chance in a million

Was on the way back from Slovenia and changing flights in London to get one back up to Edinburgh. We got speaking to the couple beside us, who said they were on their way from a cruise in the US. "My sister works on one of the Carnival Cruise ships, and my Mum & Dad were cruising with her last week", I said. The woman turned to me and said, "Not Helen & Alan, was it?". Indeed it was!

Not sure what the chances of that were, but it was quite incredible!

I accidentally headbutted Dennis Healy in the chest once at Victoria Station, Londinium. "Sorry mate", quoth I, then looked up (he was taller than me) to see who it was.

I had been wanting to headbutt a famous politician in the chest, at Victoria Station, for some time prior to this, which makes it a 1 in a million moment.

Minding my own business on holiday in Menorca by the pool, who should walk past, an ex-colleague who I used to sit opposite 3-4 years earlier, and we'd both moved on from the company. Same hotel, same week.

My father is always bumping into friends on holiday. He even bumped into one of my mates one year, and went out for a meal with them.

As a wargamer (We recreate historical battles using minutures on a table top, we do not play toy soldiers! ) I rolled 100% a nought on a D10 (Ten sided dice) and a nought on another D10 rolled at the same time three times in a row, literally one in a million not once but twice in the same game some 25 years ago. As 100% (The two noughts) was bad in the game I've been known as 'Lucky' ever since!
