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?

Well, for the first time (and knowing my financial skills, not the last), I got charged £38 for not going overdrawn.
£38 that, naturally, I didn't have. So I am very poor.
Cock.
Anyway, it's my first or second day back at college and my mam (who works for the same bank as my account is with) texts me saying she's got back the overdraft fee for me. Score one.
Second, I went into the academy to hand out flyers for the gig that night (Breaks Co-Op, fact fans) and when I got out of the box office with my handful of flyers...
'Hannah? How do you fancy earning £30?'
Turns out Breaks Co-Op fans are great, so are their support bands, so is their tour manager. If I could get paid £30 for four hours of being bored (and knackered, I'd had oooh, three hours sleep the night before after going to a gig in Leeds the night before, getting back at two and then being up at six to get to college) I'd be happy to.
Good fortune? Hells yes.
