Ok, you’re gonna be as supersticious as me after this!
Since i’ve come home to the isle of man I’ve been having b*ke rides everyday to get my fitness up. everyday i take the same route down to the stream in the forest, and back again. And i always wear my lucky hat.
well one day i forgot it, but hey? what’s so special about a lucky hat?
well my chain came off about 5 times, just before all the jumps
but that’s ok, i can live with that.
so i got to the furthest part of the ride. thought i’d skim stones as usual, but NONE of them skimmed.
So i turned around to come back and i got a puncture FOR NO REASON! no glass or thorns! and it took me an hour to walk all the way back home (no mobile signal on that day, for some reason)
oh, and i trod in some dog crap.
the number of times i’ve not been able to find something and i’ve been in a hurry then you shout at the air help me find my (whatever) and it just seems to appear in the most random place,1 time i needed a pencil rubber, looked everywhere up n down the stairs i went,shouted out said statment
And low n behold next time i went to go up stairs it was there on the 3rd step!?!?
No! The third step, you say? How spooky is that?
Now there are three new steps to Heaven…
Step one: you find a girl you love.
Step two: she falls in love with you.
Step three: you find a rubber…
In my day, you just kissed and held her tightly, and that sure seemed like Heaven to me.
You young people. (Walks away shaking head and tutting.)
