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?

What fantastic luck!I think not.
Heading to the bar in my local, to buy my second or so drink with my last bit of change, I spy a £20 note on the floor. Bob down to pick it up, stuff it in my pocket. Result, thinks I, a few more beers with this. A while later, go to the bar, open my wallet. Empty. Never mind, I thought, I've got that £20 I found. Funny that, I could have sworn I got £20 out of the cash point on the way here...
Yep. I'd dropped the £20 buying my first drink and hadn't noticed. I effectively stole £20 off myself.
Just goes to show, kids, honesty is the best policy. Mind you, I can just imagine had I handed it in, then had to go back an hour later to explain that I'd merely given them my own £20 to look after.
I am a stupid, stupid bitch.
