Default It's a small world

Just received a text from my cousin that she was on Schiphol airport (Amsterdam) and they were paging somebody with the same name as mine who was about to miss his flight to London Heathrow..

What are the odds hey? And it is not like I have a common name..

Paging Mr. ToolkiT. Mr ToolkiT, please report to gate 407...

Must've been odd indeed.

It was the obvious joke wasnt it.. I was thinking of adding 'my IRL name' but figured people would understand and not silly enough to make the obvious joke...
But I underestimated our class clown I guess

Its 'van de Toolkit' (note the space and no r in vander, only ducho americans use vander as 1 word

btw what kind of surname is 'grrl'? and shouldnt the C and G be capitalised?

Nope. You must have felt the force though. Strong in pdxtreo it is. I have been a member of the SW fan club for 29 years.

User name = hometown + device of choice. If I had been going for the SW angle, I would have used R2-Treo, but that's a different thread.

I think she'd marry a french person and move to France before she'd agree with me...
