Nelson - one leg, one eye, one ball or something like that.
111 in cricket is considered bad luck to loads of cricketers, something to do with the number looking like wickets without bails, apparently. They all sit about in the sheds with their feet off the floor until the next run is scored, don't ask me why.

My missus salutes magpies and says "Hi Sir" whenever she sees a lone one. More than one, or two people seeing one, is fine apparently. Tch, some people....

Thanks.. my mother always used to greet a solitary magpie with a "good morning Mr Magpie, where is Mrs Magpie today"

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

As introduced by that chick sans bra with nipples like chapple hat pegs....

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Don't remember her, but who could forget Jenny Hanley?

Now she deserved an "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."

Bloody hell! Mrs W. salutes magpies too, (doesn't call them "Sir" though).

Aparently a lone one is bad luck as per the old "Magpie" TV theme tune; "one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told . . . Ma . . a . . a . . ag . . pie".

Ahem, alledgedly.

Good reason for it. One magpie on its lonesome is generally a sign that there is something wrong with the locality. They're scavengers and if there's nothing for them to eat then things are real bad...

Now if there had been a steaming (dog)turd on the drains I could understand it but to avoid them because an ex-girlfriend used to do it is a bit wet.

When I were a lad you used to see lots of white dog turds- don't seem to see them now-a-days. Wonder why?

... and the cricket umpire who would hop on one leg when 3 of the same numbers (e.g.111)were on the scoreboard

What do you mean by 3 drains?

We only have one drain at a time up here - is this another north/south divide thing again you drain mungerring fascists?

Ah, it's a long time since I heard that word - mungerring. A verb, meaning "to take it up the tulipter" , not to be confused with the word "mongering".
