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?

When I were a ladWe were trying to move from London to Devon, and due to slightly dodgy parenting I was taken out of school for a year to help move stuf etc.
One day while the 'rents were househunting I was out walking. I was tired and starving but had very little cash on me.
I spied a rather posh looking inn by the side of the road and decided to see what I could get. I went in and asked at the cash desk what I could get for 80p (or whatever it was). They didn't chuck me out, but told me I could have some chips for that.
Just as I was finishing off hungrily devouring the chips, the waiter came up to me with a great big knickerbocker glory.
"I can't afford that" quoth I, to which the reply was "Oh it's alright sir, the man on that table paid for it for you"he looked around and pointed "Oh, he's gone".
So I got a luvverly knickerbocker glory for free - hurrah!
