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?

I'm generally pretty lucky.......and yet am always cursing people for their good luck.
When working during my year out, my mum came in one day to tell me that Lloyds bank had been on the phone to say I'd won first prize in some competition and won £2500. I was taken aback by this as I had no recollection of entering any competitions. Turns out that I had probably filled in some form whilst still in 6th form and won top prize out of everyone in the country (everyone who entered obviously). I believe it was something to do with the Push Which University guide or something....
Also, I was once sat out back of the surf on my board, when a fiver floated along past me.
Latest: thought I'd lost my passport, so had to make an urgent appointment with the bastards in the Newport office (2 hours drive away), and pay £77.50 for the pleasure of getting a new one within a week, not to mention the fuel to get there and having to use up some valuable holiday.
Then I found my passport. There was much rejoicing.
I apologise for nothing!
