I'm not supersticious, it brings bad luck!

Life tends to **** on me on friday 13th.. so Im going to wrap myself in cotton wool, wear ear plugs, and ignore everyone... :lol:

past incidents have been: sort of dumped over the internet.. and broken my elbow...

Im not taking any chances this time.... :lol:

i tend to wear my "thursday" pants for two days on friday 13th

With my bloody job lately, every day seems like Friday 13th! Not sure it can get any worse!.........................Touch wood, fingers crossed etc. etc. [-o<

Like Steve H, Im not precisely sure how tomorrow is going to be much worse than things have been recently to be particularly bothered by a Friday 13th.

Link to some interesting reading on the matter:

:D

Nope and nowt!!! :lol:

13, for those of you who dont know, is actualy a very lucky and magical number. Only since christianity came along did they attempt to taint the number with bad luck stories etc.
Thats why there was 13 at the last supper you see.

That will be religion causing problems again then! :-#

Nasty combination. Need all the elbow you have when that sort of thing happens :wink: :lol:

Its because Judas was unlucky 13 wasn't he?

What, like :toss:, you mean? He siad elbow, not wrist :shock:




:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

IIRC the REAL reason that Fri 13th is considered unlucky - at least in the western world - is because that was the date that the King of France launched his surprise attack & rounded up the Knights Templar.

This had nothing whatsoever to do with religion (although that was the official reason) - more to do with the fact that the Templars were probably the richest organisation in Europe at the time & he fancied getting his hands on the loot - oh, & also because he owed them a truck load of money for financing his various wars, etc.

I'm not superstitious at all however all the actors I now work with are and they are all kicking up a stink about being in on that day :roll:

Yeh they love that word too :roll:

Argh! The Scottish play!

You knew a sheep that could surf the web? Wow! :shock:

:smt044 :smt044 :smt044

Erm, personaly i think that poor fella who got nailed to a cross was the "unlucky" one out of all those who shared dinner that night ;)

I'm very superstitious!

Broken mirrors,Magpies,Friday the 13th's you name it!!!!

So tomorrow I will take Zero risks,not do anything strenuous,and do as little work as possible to avoid anything going wrong! :shock:

Much like any normal day!

I have 2 house completions tomorrow. Would you like to move house on Friday 13? - these folks didn't mind, just hope that the payments system doesn't crash...

I didn't read this thread in case it brought me bad luck :D

Doesn't bother me as 13 is my lucky number....

Watch out for JASON :twisted:

Payday tomorrow, and I passed my test on Friday 13th (only unlucky for other road users.

H

Not bothered by it, it's just another day. Booked my bike in for it's mot without looking at dates, Friday 13th it is :lol:

Just hope it passes!

thats right hun

Cue twilight zone music...

i'm not really superstitous to be honest don't walk under ladders but thats about it

How Bizarre, I had to check that and according to my Mappoint you are quite correct, jct 12 is Runcornish and 14 some place called Hapsford.

BTW should the title now be :- Today is Friday the 13th.

and its bloody unlucky.

Got the bike out after doing all the prep work for the MOT, start it up (all ready to get it sorted) Think i'll just double check that number plate light. And its broken again, and whist fixing that the bike blew a tail light.

******* machine.

Dan

Normaly i would avoid ladders while driving

I forgot about friday the 13th and I rode the bike in. It's got it's MOT booked for later too :shock: It'll probably fail now and cost me a fortune to fix it :(

Well my friday 13th started well. Got the high-vis police lookalike jacket from Stu, decided to wear it today on the ride in to work.

During the commute...
"Do you know why I've stopped you sir?" :shock: :( I honestly didn't have a clue, until he informed me that "impersonating an officer is an offence." Ah, that'll be the jacket then.

Made me a little ****ed off, you can clearly tell it's not a police jacket from the back (esp if you're used to wearing them daily! fss!), so I explained, he checked the rest of the bike over (which is all stock, but a little dirty). I got a firm telling off for not cleaning my bike, and he let me on my way.

A little late to the office, but ho hum, better late than dead.

On a brighter note, if a copper can get the jacket confused, so will everyone else. But that does mean they all drive 5mph below the posted limit. :|

Yep that was covered on page 4 of that article I linked to. :wink:

And the reply was:

:P :lol:

I thought Stu got them from ex-police stocks?

I won £6.40 on the euro lottery... :lol:

Not superstitious at all 'cos its all cobblers :wink:
Spent the day (Friday the 13th) hooning round the Prodrive test track at Kenilworth in various Honda motor cars.

Breakfast, lunch and tea provided too :D :thumbsup:
