    I haven't seen this thread here so I thought I'd start it off.
    I have been living nad working here in holland for the last 6 months and have met lots of ramdom Corkonian people (including this guy from Ballingcollig that I never want to speak to again)
    I have by fortune met this girl that actually lived like a mile from my house in Grange.

    I would like this thread to include stories of how you met people you know just by chance while out in a different country.

    Would also be interesting to write down all the little irritating things that foreigners (which in this case would be locals of the country you live in) do that would get your head kicked in by garday back in Pana.

    Anyone is welcome to tell their stories.
    (No kerry people please)

    Isn't it Corkonian?

    Not foreign climes, but I met a friend of my sister's while dawdling aimlessly around Dublin one afternoon. I was just up there for a couple days and hadn't seen the guy in prolly ten years, it was bizarre.

    I think your right about the k. I'm happy enough that I got the word half right. I was going to write "cork person" but that would be ****ed up english.

    i met my uncle while i was inter railing in Budapest, very strange. I was walking down a street and then there was my uncle on the other side, he was as surprised as i was.

    I suspect the grand prix had something to do with it though, unless he was following me around interrailing.....

    I live in Amsterdam and I've seen plenty of people I know from home here at the weekends. Some of them have been in a part of town they probably shouldn't have been in, at least not as paying customers! I just keep walking, saves some embarrassment all round...........
