Unexpected Good Fortune
Travelling 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?

During my Grandfather's Wake....
..needed some fresh air (as during the procession me gran just informed the family that me grandad was a wifebeater, nasty piece of work) and walked down to Spar (about 100 yards down the road).
Bought some drink and a scratchcard, which won me £25.
Cue me walking back into the wake surrounded by shocked family members bouncing about and cheering smugly that I just won some drink tokens :)
I suppose I could have picked a more subtle time to announce my good fortune.
