    Friday 13th

    Just a cheeky one...
    Do you think Friday the 13th deserves all the bad press it gets?
    As an example - today, Friday the 13th, our fire alarm went off, and the whole building (all 6 floors of it) had to evacuate and wait for the Fire Brigade in the forecourt. They didn't show up, the alarm stopped, tho whole thing was a total waste of time.
    BUT... we had a 20 mins break in the fresh air - and it wasn't raining!!!

    Just heard from my daughter who is at Uni in Bristol. The house that she shares with 5 other students was broken into last night - all lap tops, tellys and car keys gone.

    If I find the ba*tards, I will make it a Friday the 13th for them to remember! The Police are on the case.......still waiting for them to turn up.

    I don't think that Salim Sdiri had a good friday 13th - he was hit by a Javelin while warming up for the Long Jump at an athletics event last night

    Good news - the Police have caught two of the theives. Bad news, one escaped with the van with all the loot in it. They managed to recover one IPod.

    Gee.

    You think - if you look at all the bad incidents that happen throughout the world during the course of a year - that there will be a statistically significant increase on Fridays the 13th?

    It's not so much 'bad press' these days as 'help! another newspapaer with 500 column inches to be filled - o, look what day it is' press.
