You have already posted what it is, but I have no idea what the actual thread is about.

When you think about it, many of the simple decisions we make are life changing, we just don't realise it at the time...the sliding doors theory.

You've become a Jehovah's Witness? That's...unexpected.

Joking aside, I hope life hasn't turned a bit crap and you're doing ok. I've enjoyed chatting with you in the time I've been here.

Ain’t THAT the truth!

I wonder how many of us have thought 💭Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!🗯️

Even something like meeting your partner(s) is down to a series of choices. 'why did I choose to go that club that night' 'why did I shop in Tescos and not Sainsburys that fateful day' 'why did I holiday in Spain when I should have to Italy with my other mates'. Do something slightly different and your whole life could have turned out either better or worse.

When I was younger and my football team had a goal disallowed, I used to tag it on to the final score and think 'bollocks we would have won without that goal being disallowed' but of course the whole game is played out differently when the other team were given a free kick because your player was offside.

I met my partner because my then boyfriend who worked in a nightclub, for some reason, couldn't pick me up from the nightclub I worked in.

I rang a cab.

You would have had a completely different life!

Years ago me and a couple of mates were on a pub crawl in Covent Garden, pot luck which bar we were drinking in. I bumped into a girl who I used to work with, but who was unknown to my friends. She ended up hanging out with us for the night - she hit it off with one of my friends and they ended up getting married and having kids. Whenever I see their daughter now, I always tell her that she only exists because of me!

Just pulling your leg, I probably should have added some appropriate smiley but I don't know which one means just kidding.

Funnily enough, an attention seeking thread like this has led to some interesting comments about the nature of chance and what a big part it plays in our lives. The comments so far made me reflect on how if our parents had never met, we would never have existed...

Calling Syl a slag is not funny, or pulling her leg, it's downright nasty and insulting!

Yep, a very odd remark.
