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?

Found £20Out in a club just this weekend, and when I went to the gents, found that some bloke had dropped £20 on the floor.
In itself, this isn't a big deal, but considering that so far this same week, I've:
- Been dumped, the day after returning home from an extortionately priced 2 week romantic getaway to celebrate 3 years together (she was staying with me for the holiday, apparently). This is the girl I was relying on to buy the shopping for the rest of the month, since I went up to, and far beyond, my overdraft limit paying for the holiday, and the cashpoint refuses to give me any more money, which means I now have scrapings from the freezer to live on for 3 weeks.
- Gotten in the first fight I've _ever_ been in on a night out.
- Found out my new ex is actually shagging my best mate
- Had the guy who was supposed to be relieving me from a 12-hour night shift get involved in a crash on the way in, meaning I was two hours late getting home, and as such missed my lift home. And it was fucking pissing down by the time I left. And it was lovely the night before, so I didn't bring a coat. And I walk home.
- Had a random girl nick my drink, and her three mates threaten to kick the shit out of me when I had the audacity to give her a filthy look.
Given the rest of my week, I think you can agree that finding a bit of money is pretty unexpected.
