Unexpected Good FortuneTravelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

Woo, just logged in and second post without trying as well as...Many years ago I missed the last Metro from Newcastle to South Shields. I started walking the eight miles or so after midnight in the rain as I had no money for a taxi, only a couple of pound left.
I don't think I could have felt any worse, freezing cold and wet, knowing I had a good two hours walk, followed by four hours sleep and work the next day.
I spotted a chap I knew and vaguely couldn't stand as he was pikey, before pikey was invented, sitting in a bus shelter up ahead. I said hello.
"I'm waiting for the last bus to South Shields" he said "fancy a cigarette", suddenly he became my best mate and the world was all rosy again.
