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?

Once in a lifetimeBack at the end of the eighties (god, was it really that long ago?) I was playing in a band doing early music, complete with elizabethan costume and funny instruments. We were playing on the street at the Scarborough Fair when this guy came up to us and said 'How would you like to come and play at Scarborough Beach in Australia?' We thought - pull the other one etc etc. A Few months later we are in Perth, Western Oz, Club class flights full board at luxury hotel and four weeks paid holiday, with the odd bit of playing thown in.
Lucky b***ards or what?
