Today is Friday the 13th, any of you superstitious?

Have you ever suffered bad luck on Friday 13th?

To answer your questions in order: no, and not particularly - certainly no worse or no better than any other day (because it`s all a load of **** anyway!). Don`t forget last year on 14 March I read the horoscope, "Beware the Ides of March tomorrow....." , so to be on the safe side I stayed in bed all day on 15 March, then on 16 March my horoscope said, "(continued from 14 March)....because you wouldn`t want to waste it by staying in bed all day!" (...................................................!)

And on this day Bothwell did have an invitation to attend a cruel Northern Baron in the northern Hamlet of manchester, nestling prettily on the banks of the Manchester ship canal. Bothwell proceeded Northward on the leafy country lane known as the M6.

Bothwell did attend the court of said Baron at his new fortifications in Ashton Under Lyme, and verily the baron was mightily displeased with Bothwell and his serfs. The Baron conveyed to Bothwell that if his fortifications were not complete before the setting of the sun this day then he would be disposed to craft a necklace from dangly bits of Bothwell's anatomy.

Verily Bothwell did convey this message to his serfs who were sore afraid. Bothwell then mounted his horseless carriage to return to his kingdom, but the Gods were dipleased with Bothwell and conspired to make him drop his Talking box, these cruel Gods also contrived to make Bothwell unaware of this fact until he had crushed the talking box beneath the wheels of his own horseless carriage.

Bothwell now rashly cursed the baron and the Gods of construction as he returned from whence he came, and again the Gods heard Bothwell and stopped his carriage by deflating one of it's tyres. Bothwell struggled mightily to replace said tyre and was thus engaged when two of the Queens messengers rode up on their carriage with blue lights. On enquiring of Bothwell his business they espied that his new tyre resembled the buttocks of the Badger and gave Bothwell a cunningly worded invitation to attend her majesty's court in these parts at a date to be fixed.

Yes Friday 13th, B********G off a site manager, ran over my own bloody mobile, then got a ticket for having a spare tyre that was as bald as a badgers A**e

Aaahh...that sucks, Sir Bothwell! My family has no triskadekadelophobia. (fear of the number thirteen)

When my father was a fighter pilot, he chose plane number 13, because there were more pilots than planes and you didn't want to share your plane with an idiot that might over-G the aircraft and cause the wings to fall off the next time yo flew it. So he chose #13, and he didn't have to share it with anyone!

It always brought him back, too, even with 108 bullet holes in it one time.

So, of course, when I got my plane in the Air Force you can guess what my tail number ended in.....13!!!

(This is a picture of the plane I flew, but it's not my plane.)
