Three degrees of separation

I discovered last night that a York-based friend of an Oslo-based friend is engaged to the vocalist of a 'prog' band, er, of rather more interest to a certain Manchester-based blogger than to me, to be honest.  Still, 'small world', and all that.

It's also interesting that each link is self-contained: apart from brief meetings in pubs, 'adjacent connections' don't know one another at all. Which is probably a good thing, if conversation accidentally turned to music topics or past relationships....
