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?

Double spawnMy old housemate creates an aura of positivity. One time at Sainsbury's, I put the trolley back in the rack next to the car and found two bottles of whisky. I wanted to take them back, but he said "Shut up. Pick up the bottles and get in the car." "No", said I. Someone will miss these. "Get. In. The. Car." So I did. It was only Teachers, but it was also free.
I returned the favour when someone dropped a 50 euro note in a Hotel lobby. If only I could have walked slowly towards the man and told him of his mistake and given him his money back. Then again, the man was being an arrogant cock. We split it in duty free on the way home to Blighty.
All true.
