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?

Double glazingA few years ago I got a double glazing firm to do some work for me; new windows, front door and porch, soffits, bargeboards, etc.
Total bill - £2500
Paid deposit - £200
Work got done - promptly as I recall
Never got a bill for the rest - I think the salesman was sacked in between the completion of the work and the billing process, and threw all his paperwork away - soup herb!
