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?

big useless teddy bearI used to live in the charming seaside town of Brixham, where everyone is related to everyone else, and the fishermen will fight you to the death if you look towards them.
On the fisherman's quay, where the thugs hang out and mend their nets, was a church fete. I was walking past, and bumped into a couple of friends, and we stood chatting.
For no reason whatsoever, I said "excuse me a mo, I'm just going to go and win that bear" pointing to a 3ft tall cuddly panda. I walked over to the tombola stall, said "I'll have that bear please", paid for one ticket, pulled it out and won the bear.
I was as surprised as everyone else.
Didn't have any use for the bear though, as I was a single teenage bloke. It ended up in my friends garage until it went mouldy and I threw it away.
