slightly spooky giant panda win
bollocks this was probably about 20 years ago now. That makes me feel old!

I was standing chatting to some friends while nearby some crappy street fair/market type thing was going on, which had a tombola store. Among the prizes was a very large cuddly panda. Suddenly and without warning, I broke off from the conversation and said 'oh excuse me I'm just going to go and win that giant panda over there'. I then went over to the stall, said 'oh I'll have the giant panda please' and reached in, picked out the ticket for the giant panda, thanked the surprised stall guy and walked off with the panda, which I had no use for and I ended up leaving it in my friends garage until it went mouldy.

I still don't really know what to make of that. I do seem to win school raffles etc whenever I enter, and I have bought a total of 5 lottery tickets in my life and won a bit more than what I spent on them each time - I think the sum total came to £40 after spending £5

Maybe I'm a little tiny bit magical or something, just not enough to be of any actual use. It'd explain why I'm no good at anything else...
