Cliff - In my defence, all I can say is that I had a rusty Datsun Cherry to trade in [that really was more rust than Cherry] and fuck all cash. I considered myself lucky to even get a Fiesta. In its defence, I will say that it got me down to Spain and back!

It’s not green cars that are bad luck, it’s Ford Fiesta’s. If I saw that parked on the curb, I’d want to smash into it too!

666 Grandad? I hope you haven’t been making dramatic calculations from the Book of the Apocalypse. Some guys and groups are deeply afraid of that number. And I am afraid of the literalist certainty of some of those guys and groups.

Did anybody ever choose the numbers 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 on a single line in the National Lottery? Ha ha, I bet you won nothing.

Ger - I was hoping to grab 13 WW 666 for my new car, but it looks like I might as well stick with the current banger.

I have had a couple of blue cars in my time. Accidents/mishaps in all of them. No more blue cars for me!

In China the number 4 is associated with bad luck, so many hotels don’t number fourth floor rooms with 4 and skip up to another number. 44 is very unlucky, but 88 or even 888 is considered very lucky. A lot of Lottery punters choose the number 8 and avoid 4.

I’m not really supertitious myself GD.. but shura what’s the harm? You’d only be kicking yourself if you were kilt in a ’13 car.

Actually, come to think of it when I see magpies, I always do a count of them. 1 for sorrow, 2 for joy.. 3 or more for more joy.. (it’s actually 3 for a girl and 4 for a boy but vibrators and magic bullets don’t make one preggers, thank god)

I voted for you too just there.
Only because, for a blogger, you’re not half as full of yourself as the rest of um.
