My girlfriend who is 47 had an old boyfriend that she said liked to have sex for two (2) hours. She is from China, very well educated (Masters/Graduate level) and English is her third language. She speaks broken English and is still learning. She has this old boyfriend listed in her phone contacts as DAX. I didn't understand why she listed him as DAX and was curious as to whether this word had a special meaning. When I looked up the word in the urban dictionary, one meaning for the word is "Commonly used to describe the embodiment of someone who retains a high level of sexual stamina and an insatiable libido, although keeping in tact a cool demeanor and reflective persona in which can easily charm either opposing, or same gender" and "Usually known as a guy with a MASSIVE penis". She said that the DAX contact was originally for an old female college friend and that DAX was her initials. She replaced her old friends contact information with this old boyfriends information.

I was walking along a side street by Waterloo Station during one of my rare visits to London when I was waylaid by a burly young man in a tabard collecting for charity. Being charitable and in no hurry I stopped to talk to him. He told me about how the charity helped young people who had got into bad ways to find a better life. He said that he had been helped in this way after a somewhat shameful past life and was being trained in computer technology at a college in Canterbury. I mentioned that a man with whom I had worked closely in an office in Tunbridge Wells had later left that job to set up a training course in computer technology at that same college. It turned out that this young man's tutor at the college was my former work colleague. After this discovery we parted company like good friends and I never did give him any money for his charity, but it didn't seem to matter to him any more. So, two complete strangers meet outside a very busy railway station in London, talk for just a couple of minutes and establish that they both know the same person well from encountering him in different circumstances in different towns.

I'm recovering from a knee injury and although I can now drive and ride a bike I can only walk slowly with a walking stick. I can't bend down to tie my shoe laces and have to put my foot on a step or low wall to tie them up. As I walked towards the station to get the first Sunday train another man appeared and crossed the road to walk about 3 metres ahead of me. We were the only 2 people in the street. Despite my stick, I was walking about the same speed as him. I suddenly realised my right shoe lace was working loose and thought to myself I needed to look for a low wall to rest my foot on so I could retie the lace.<br /> Just as I thought that, the man in front of me deviated slightly from the pavement, and raised his right foot onto a low wall (but one too high for me) to retie his own right shoe lace!

I attended the University of Richmond in Virginia for just one semester in spring 2007. In my seminar class there was a girl, Karen D.(from New Jersey), who I became friendly, if not friends, with. Fast forward to fall of 2010 and I am four days into a 10-day backcountry backpacking trip with my boyfriend in Glacier National Park, Montana. We were averaging seeing three groups of people per day so you can imagine my surprise when we approached another young couple and there was Karen with her boyfriend, also several days into their backpacking trip!
