Yeah, but as we were through in the past... there are no coincidences in
Magnolia (apart from the initial introduction) -it's more to do with
ironies.
Your examples _are_ more coincidence-like I agree though. ;)

You have a swimming pool then? Is it one of those over-ground jobs like in
the links on that forum?
Do you fill/empty it each year or leave it stand for the winter?

Yup. A lot of real-life coincidences would be derided as ludicrous if they
appeared in fiction.

I tend to cringe too much when thinking of anything to do with the 80s. I
don't like too many reminders of it really. Onward and upward I say! The
best is yet to come! :)
I appreciate that most of the stuff on there is likely off-topic though.
I'll pop round when I get lonely/bored/have time to escape. ;)
