(205) Listening to Peter Rhodes

On the morning of March 6th, 2004, I gave a chess lesson to Peter Rhodes, of London, by Internet. This was only the second such lesson that I had given him, the first being on March 3rd. I even asked him about his name, jokingly, and whether it stemmed from the guy who founded Rhodesia. I had had a question about who was the founder of Rhodesia on March 3rd, 2004, in a pub quiz.
Unusually, I had used the Skype technology to talk to Mr Rhodes through the computer, although neither of us was able  to actually see the other.
On the evening of March 6th, I looked at medium Craig Hamilton-Parker’s website and saw some audio clips on coincidences.

I played one and found that it begins with a joke told by a journalist called Peter Rhodes. I had heard the radio show of which it was part - one of a series on coincidence by Martin Plimmer - a few years earlier, although, naturally, I had quite forgotten the name of the journalist who tells the joke.

It was based on coincidences, concerning a confusion in Heaven between the fathers of Pinnochio and Jesus.

Probably the first one here listed -
