How small is Adelaide!

I wanna hear from anyone out there who has had some freakish realisations of how closely everyone is related in Adelaide? I recently found some news that just made me sit back and think, wow, there is only 2 degrees of separation between people who live in A-town!

Check out my story.....

One of my best friends who I work with (and for who I will be bridesmaid for later this year) has a sister who has a daughter of seven years called Emily. I have spent a fair amount of time with these girls over the past few years and have become close friends of mine. Meanwhile during last season of poker I got to know a fair few people from various locations around adelaide, especially the northern crew.

The other day my friends sister sent me an email asking if im coming to the hens night and noticed that her last name was "fullager" I then asked my best friend if her sister was married to the infamous "todd fullager" and said to me "OMG how do you know him!"

So there you go, I had been spending all this time with Emily and her aunt and mum, completely unbeknown to me that this was the daughter of Mr Todd Fullager....I couldnt help but be a bit freaked out....lol

I work with a girl that went to the same school as Scott...wonder if it's the same girl you both kissed :D

And once I went to a friends house and sat down in their lounge room for about a minute before I noticed a girl in the corner - a cousin of mine I hadn't seen in about 10 years! (and could go another 10 without seeing her again...but that's another story)

i worked with my cousin for 4 months until she pointed it out to me. I wouldn't have known if she didn't.

I knocked around with a guy called Brian for around 20 years and became good mates. One day we were talking to his mum and she asked my mums maiden name. It turned out we were second cousins. Not kissing like Bacon tho, just good friends. :lol:

i'm positive someone has been in and edited that!

We kissed the same girl at high school! Hence why Laura replied about the same girl.

Pete, i'm looking at you :x

Wow, somebody i know knows somebody else i know. AMAZING!!

Smallish world though. Saw a guy i went to uni with 2 years ago. the amazing bit was that we were one row away from each other at rod laver arena last night watching roger federer.

That was a small world moment.
