    This is worth trying - perhaps have some written notes on hand so that you remember which rooms which subjects are to be discussed in?

    I'd also be tempted to have some fun with them - I'm sure you could think of some subjects that would wind them up.


    We had planned on discussing why we moved to the area, because we had to leave our old house suddenly as we'd buried the neighbour under our patio :D
    Then decided if she is listening in (which she is), we could get a knock at the door from the boys in blue :o

    Estimates vary a bit but people speak about 16000 words a day. I wouldnt completely rule out coincidence.

    Same garden plants? Its summer, people will be gardening and in general people are pretty limited with plants they know. Then theres the other side if youve been specific youve probably done so to tailor to your garden, which would have similar properties to hers.

    Same car? Are you similar ages? How many of those cars are already on your street? Youre not talking about a mx5 bbr turbo then in all likelihood your talking about the 1 of 10 cars you see on the road.

    I cant help but think a herd though process is a t play. You might watch similar tv programmes that inspired the holiday or saw a specific advert that sparked you talking about a new car. You might visit similar websites. Its not unusual for a topic of discussion that appears on here to be headline news the day after, just a case of people picking up on something.


    Easiest way to know for sure though would be mentioning some form of illicit activity and see how long before the police show up. "What am i going to do with that gun, cant believe brian left it here, he enjoys shooting people too much" when the armed response kick down your door at 3am you can just point them to little brians nerf gun. Hsa the potential to go horrifically wrong though.
