My Dad's now wife was at a circus about 20 years ago where my Dad's Mum was bitten by a horse!

ETA: I must add she actually saw my Nana get bitten!!

Turned out my ex DF's new GF worked for my mum. That was fun. lol


I work with someone on here's mum. Perhaps that's not so much an Adelaide story, than an EB story. They don't know and I don't know who the mum is LOL - it was something they said like ' my mum works for that ....' And I work there too.

My husband was adopted. I met him through his natural cousin.

Our dads worked at the same place when we were kids. When I met him my dad works with FILs close friend.

Hubby used to compete in lifesaving. Coincidentally I spent my weekends watching them wink.gif

When my brother met his first wife she was the girl who looked after me (was a yr 7) when I first started primary school.

Semper Fi. You rat, you fry.
Mine's an "Australia is too small too" or more specifically, the Army.
My old neighbour, lived across the road on the RAAF Base in Darwin, now works/drinks with a guy that i was friends with in high school (Kempsey) and they are both now living in Townsville.

Mine are Adelaide, EB and this thread are too small 'stories'!

My son attended the same childcare centre (I think was in the same room?) as **Mel**'s daughter earlier this year. (Coincidently, I am also a Mel.)

(Feeling a little stalkerish right now...)

This is an 'Australia is too small' story.

I met my husband through RSVP. We'd been dating a few months when we realised our his father and my mother worked at the same place during the same time period. Turns out they were buddy-buddy co-workers and knew each other well.

Unfortunately for FIL, a bunch of lies he told ended up being exposed because of this.

This might lead to an EB is too small moment if my friend is also a member...

However, my friend had a 'world too small moment' recently when she figured out the guy who had recently started working with her husband, was a guy she had dated 12 years ago.

Fair enough perhaps, except he was Canadian. She's from England. They dated (briefly) in the UK then soon after the relationship ended she met her Aussie now-DH and moved to Australia.

At some point this other guy met his Aussie now-wife and moved to the same city in Australia.

Extra weird bit - both couples have daughters with the same first name!
