Unexpected Good Fortune
Travelling 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?

This might sound a bit gay
in november last year (and before my sixth winter season) I went into woolworths to buy the new family guy dvd (Stewis Griffin - the untold story) and as I got to the counter to pay the lady asked me if i´s like to buy some chocolates for my mum at a special price of 3 pounds
I only had 2 pounds left after buying the DVD as I had 15 quid on me, so i decided to have a bit of fun and buy one of those 2 pound (with ha few chances) scratchcards instead and vowed to buy mumma that treat if I won
I scratched and found I´d won 5 quid! The lady scanned the bar code
"I´m afraid you haven´t won 5 pounds sir"
must have read it wrong, my heart sank
"you´ve won 55 - you didn´t scratch off the other part"
WAHEY!
Mum got the chocs, and I bought a new jacket on sale!!
