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?

Oh yes!On a train from Brighton to London I was putting my bag on the rack, and I found a folder. It was plain blue, and on the front was printed "Indiana Jones - Part 4". My heart stopped - it couldn't be? Yes, it was the whole script of a new Indiana Jones film, pages and pages of it.
I couldn't decide whether to keep it or try and sell it on Ebay; eventually I took it to the film distributors in Hammersmith, who promised to send it to Mr Spielberg on my behalf.
What did I get as a reward? A walk-on part? An invitation to the premier? 6 free DVDs. Sent to me by someone who wasn't Steven Spielberg.
But as it turned out, one of my friends googled the first couple of lines and the whole thing was on the internet anyway. Still, if they make another Indiana Jones, and it starts off with Indy fishing in an urban lake, a la crocodile dundee, you heard it on B3ta first.
