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?

WaterMy gf and I moved into our first house just over three years ago. The house cost more than we had initially hoped to spend and there were plenty of other things we hadn't thought of that ended up costing us.
To get our account set up I spent a while cutting away grass to get to the water meter grid at the front of the house and quite a while with a j-cloth trying to drain a foot of water out of the hole to read the water meter details.
After telephoning the water company they told me I had the meter number wrong (which I've since checked and I've not) as they didn't have it on their records. I phoned back again and asked them to look us up via our address but they didn't have that on record.
So, three years have passed and we've yet to pay a water bill. I thank which ever student on summer break couldn't be arsed to enter in the list of addresses he/she was given on their crappy summer job.
