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?

School boy dream comes trueNot recently but many, many years ago, I entered the 'spot the ball' competition on the back of a 'United' chocolate biscuit pack to win a years supply of said biscuits! - My tiny mind doing somersaults just imagining having a dumper truck full of Uniteds tipped on our drive.
Being a mere 7 years old I completely forgot about it until one morning whilst getting into my school uniform, mum shouts to tell me there's a parcel for me.
Well it turns out that a years supply of (not just) Uniteds but Blue-Ribands, Trios and Taxis can fit into quite a small parcel being a sum total of around 60 six packs. Not quite the humungulous dumper truck I'd imagined, but enough to keep me in McVities (I think) snacks at dinner for a full school year.
