Small world.

All I can say at this time is I am totally blown away by the day so far.

I have not seen my brothers really, since my parents died about 19 years ago. We kind of had a falling out about ten years ago and have not been in contact since. The last time I saw my brother was in High Wycome.

Well, I got up this morning feeling as rough as hell after a late night on the beers, to find an email within my inbox. It was from my brother. He was asking how I was and where I was living/working. He also told me the sad news that my Aunt had recently died and there is a funeral next week.

So I replied to the email, then later this morning, I get an MSN thingy, asking if I want to add him. So I did.

Anyway, it now turns out, he is living in the same town as me (Brighton) and working 5 mins away from where I work! I am meeting him for lunch in ten mins, Jeez, this is really odd. Such a small world. So much to catch up on.

Had to tell someone, so i thought I would share with you chaps and chapesses.

Someone will post up claiming to be his brother next.

That's cool though, that you are meeting up with him, not nice to lost contact with family.

When we were living in Paphos in Cyprus, my mum met someone she knew from the UK who was there on holiday quite randomly. Ironically, also from High Wycombe.

Not really, no. It is 24,901.55 miles around the equator.

This story just further goes to prove nothing good can come of being in High Wycombe.

Oi. that's where I was born!

Admittedly I don't live there now, but It's an ok place, especially with the new Eden centre place.

Lol, the White Horse, we used to go there when we were ~16-17 as it was the only place that would serve us.

I've never had any trouble in Wycombe, despite living in Micklefield at one point, which is known as being slightly rough.

I was at the Eden centre on saturday to see Iron Man, I was pretty impressed with it, so much better than the concrete monstrosity it's replacing.

Well yeah, i dont go there anymore

I try to avoid Wycombe like the plague, everytime i go there at night it just feels like theres some sort of atmosphere like at any moment you could probably die. Its just my imagination but there are better places to go to have a drink anyway.
