so thats 6 weeks apart,
also they happen to support the same football team - but their friendship was struck up on a completly different type of betting medium,
or perhaps they just know each other anyway,but just make out they met on here.

there was a coincidence myself and joe replying at the same time, world cup handball etc.
malay - to be fair ,i do lean towards coincedence,theres a massive amount of things that seem coincidence(e.gwhen tony blair was pm - the head of the met was ian blair).
hence why i asked for a probility ratio 3 people ,all live in different cities(not the city of the team they support),joining close together,inseperable on threads,support same football team.

used to do the same job for different companies
drive the same car
and when they agreed to swap photos of their cars by email, with no prompting of which one to send, they each sent
a photo of their car
with the drivers door open
their wife in the passenegr seat
both photographed in the same place
270 miles from where they both lived
