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?

The OffspringA few years ago now, I won a competition to watch SoCal punks The Offspring filming a session for the now sadly defunct Top Of The Pops. This was not, unexpected good fortune - just the regular sort of good fortune.
No, the good fortune bit was getting Sony Records permission to take my 10-year old son along only to arrive at Elstree to be told by security we couldn't go into the studio because my son was under 15. The Sony "handler" was so horribly embarrassed that instead of going to watch TOTP being filmed, we got introduced to the bands A&R man, who promptly took us backstage into the band's dressing room, photos with the band, got to sit with them whilst they did an interview for Radio 1, bumped into Shania Twain in the corridor (phwoar!), they gave us some signed 10x8's and graciously signed a stack of CDs for us as well. Then we got to watch their set for TOTP on a giant monitor in a backstage area...
An absolute horror of unexpected good furtune.
