You lost me after "I haven't......"
Thank the lord for that.
Actually, the sort of way you need to think to understand it is that you are watching a series every week - I dunno Benidorm or something - and you have made a few comments on here saying you like it a lot. And then in one episode, a character turns up and he's called Hercules. As it happens, he is in one of the trades you were once in. You think "oh, that's a bit unusual" but think no more about it. After all, many people are called Hercules. Well, not that many but a few. Then two or three episodes later there's another character who is called of all things Ethel Grytpipe-Thynne and that was your mother's name. That's too weird for words. It suggests someone in the show has read your contributions on the forum and done it deliberately.
Of course, it doesn't quite work in your case as your first name isn't actually Hercules - or at least I don't think it is - and your second isn't Grytpipe-Thynne. Nor was your mother's although there was a person called Hercules Grytpipe-Thynne who was fictional and could have been brought in for reasons other than you, if unlikely. Why have a Hercules in a comedy set in Alicante? And actually it is not my own mother's name that is involved here but that is the sort of concept basically. The alternative is that it is mere coincidence. That's cool. It adds to security. Life's a funny thing. But who would believe that? I am, if nothing else, mere but I'm not sure I do believe it is coincidence. There you go. Hopefully crystal clear.
