Name's the Same...
So, apparently there's a woman called Lisa Williams who has a show somewhere in the distant depths of the Sky TV menu. She sees dead people.
I'm used to the fact David Kennedy isn't a terribly uncommon name (there were three that I know of at my school, one of whom lived in my street). And having briefly had a boss who shared my Mum's name[1], I've got used to that as well. But, innocently flicking through the channels for something worth watching, this is the first time I've seen the name of an online friend in a context where it clearly isn't the online friend, and it's a bit of a surprise.
[1]Which didn't help me remember it, at all. In fact I'd think "No, it's something like that, but I've got it confused with Mum's maiden name..."

Thankfully some helpful people pointed on LibraryThing that Family Bites also wasn't written by *that* Lisa Williams either.
My sister has Sky. That show always breaks her brain when she sees a trailer for it...

I confess that I too have done a double-take when I've seen "your" name in the TV listings. Luckily (for my sanity), it's been pretty clear from the context that it's another Lisa Williams.
