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?

More examsDoing an A-level in classical studies. The paper gave you a quote from a text on Roman politics and required you to say where it came from in the book, what its context was and what it meant. This meant you had to virtually memorise the text.
Imagine my surprise, then, when the quote in question was from the very same page I'd been reading two minutes before I went into the exam room. Got an A.
