I was watching 'The Cube' tonight and one of the contestants was a guy that I used to play golf with.
It wasn't a huge surprise to me. I'm used to these things happening.
I befriended a girl in San Tropez once on holiday and literally bumped into her 3 weeks later outside Harrods.
I was once on a skiing holiday in Austria, on a bus going up the mountain and somebody behind me said "Mark?".
It was my cousin.
Have you got any weird stories like this?

I don't know if he's known more people than some, or if it's just coincidence
Edit - he's more recognisable from a distance than most people
3 years later we go on holiday to new york and bump into the same couple in Times square!
At school, my best friend was a Sikh. Several years after we left school he had an arranged marriage to a girl from India that had never been to England before.
It later transpired that her uncle lived next door to my father.
My dad is the same, no matter where we went he would see someone he knew.
I then bumped his mum a few weeks after I returned home only to be told that he had died in a car crash in Northern Australia the week after I had met him.
Back in 2008 someone I went to college with turned out to be the primary contact my department had with a technology company that was in the building next door. That was a bit odd, but more likely as it was within 20 miles of the college we both went too.
