As per the thread title.
Some to start off with.
I accompanied a friend of mine to the hospital yesterday. We agreed to meet by a local chippy before getting a bus. At the hospital, I met the same woman that works at that chippy.
In all the years my dad was yachting and sailing he only fell overboard once and that was due to a forestay on the deck of his yacht giving way when he was holding it for support. He had for a long time been meaning to install a rope ladder in order to make climbing back on board much easier in case of such an event, as it was very difficult otherwise.
He had only installed the rope ladder the day before he fell overboard.
I had to get a taxi back from Dunstable last year for the first time, having missed the last bus. So, I just found the nearest private hire taxi firm. One of my ex-tenants was working there. It could have been any taxi firm.
