    How Long Can A Run Of Bad Luck Last ?

    Since the start of 2007 I has so much bad luck, they say things come in 3's but ive had 8 this month.

    1. Someone hit my car.
    2. Picked up car from bodyshop they did a tulip job.
    3. Car broke down on way home, expensive repair, nothing to do with smash or bodyshop.
    4. Picked up by the police in relation to an accident where driver failed to stop, 2hrs spent in police station, not me 100%, I was in other part of country at time.
    5. Ripped off by a tradesman to tune of £250, I knew they hadnt done the work so I didnt pay them, didnt realise they were some gypo crew where it still meant I had to pay, suddenely there was a call out charge etc, lots of heavies.
    6. GF giving me serious grief, 7 yrs togeather probably going to split.
    7. Found damp in house.
    9. Got a mini cab today, half way through journey on country road, his bloody car packs up, it was a turbo desiel and the turbo went. Had to hang around was late blah blah

    I usually have a bit of bad luck but nothing like this, its stating to really suck.
    If anyone has got any luck spare please lend me it

    Got spare luck ???

    you are joking man

    Got a gig recently in London - £800 per day
    The PM has been depressed, she split withe her bf recently
    She is Indian and a real looker, asked me out for a 'team beer'

    We ended up in bed and bonked all night. As she was sleeping I started to rub that little red dot, the one between her eyes.

    Underneath it said 'You have won a timeshare in Spain.....'

      A long, long, long time. Something in excess of the half-life of a proton.

You are then in a downward spiral of doom and gloom whereby you will convince yourself that even when it rains outside the gods timed it for just when you were stepping out of the house.

                Focus on what is right in your life: have you good health, money in the bank, loving friends and relatives. Do something new and different that you will enjoy. Take a short break if you can to put a wall up between what has been and what will be so that you can break the cycle of bad luck. Before you know it things will not look nearly as bleak as they do now.

                    Don't talk to me about bad luck, I got the sack for something I didn't do, you can't top that for bad luck. Everyone knows car work always goes wrong and they try to rip you off, why do you take it personally.

                    The police thing - yes bad luck, but its just a mistake, again the world is not against.

                    Now stop taking my spot light, I am the one with the bad luck run here
