Be Careful Who You Meet!

A transgender hip replacement surgeon was the first person Mr Dumper (otherwise Totally Anonymous from Times Encounters) and I realised that we both knew in common.  The surgeon's name used to be John, and now it is Jennifer.  My sister did notice that Jennifer looked a bit manly when she came and sat on the bed to discuss her forthcoming operation.

Strongest man in the world, also ex-president of the Budgerigar Society, Geoff Capes, turns out to be the mutual point of contact between my new journalist friend and me.  I once employed him to judge a "Bravest Little Boy" competition when I did PR for Tonka Trucks.  He wouldn't do anything I asked, so I had to issue my instructions via my photographer who was a bloke.  

Esteemed Partner and I discovered that we had been at the same skating party in Suffolk when I was six.  And now my nemesis, 'She', has embarked on an affair with his first cousin. Grrrr.

Another blind date I was recently set up with remembers meeting someone like me 30 years ago at a party at Exeter University.  He arranged to see her the following day, but was four hours late for the appointment and missed her.  It turns out that that person was indeed me.  And he drove a Ferrari at the time, and had a pet parrot too!
