here’s a comedy thing. i saw a tweet from my friend andy shudall this morning retweeting something one of his friends posted about a camera he’d found in the road. Apparently the camera had fallen off a car roof further down the road in front of them.
(sweet)
the finder, being a thoroughly decent, as well as modern, man decided to test New Zealand’s famously small world and the 6 degrees of separation thing, and posted a picture from it via twitter and invited people to contact him if they recognised the people in the camera, so they could reunite him with the camera.
i didn’t bother to look at the photo which is a shame, because i work with the chap in the photo ! By the time i did look at it, he’d been contacted and the camera reunited.
And on Friday night at my office party i was talking to the person i sit next to at work and he revealed his mum is the marvellous Marge who picked us up from the airport when we landed in Auckland last Easter on our exploration tour.
so there you go, it really is a very small world over here and 2 degrees of separation is the real thing !
