It gets worse...

Going over to Carl Rosner for the bits... and my wallet fell out of my
unzipped pocket somewhere.

£120, all my MoTs and insurance certs, driving licence, NUJ card....

Bollocks.

And the bits were £616. Ouch.

 

You lot are a bunch of paraskevidekatriaphobics, you are.

 

616 - the real number of the beast. Spooky!

 

Oh shit.
Friday 13th seems to have set a chain of events in motion for you, old chap.

I though my Friday 13th was bad enough, with a parking ticket in
Westminster. Seems nothing compared to your tale of woe.

Fucking hell, you really need to stay indoors on Friday 13th don't you?

Just wait until June 6th this year! That should be a real peach.

 

Shit comes in threes!! watch out

 

The loss of the paperwork is the painful bit in all that.

It's only money. Sell a few petrol tanks and gaskets to make up the gap.

Now go and lie down and don't go out in case you trigger a disaster
somewhere else in the world.

 

The Older Gentleman scribbled on the back of a napkin:

Do you ever get the feeling that the whole world is conspiring against
you?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Have you been eating mushrooms again?
You know what they told you about that.

 

Nah. We'll be okay. That's on a Tuesday.

 

Look.
Next time there's a Friday the 13th[1], FFS stay in bed will you?
Mind you is that /really/ that safe?

And don't forget : It always comes in threes.
So there's another "mishap" waiting for you soon.

[1] October this year, before you ask.

Actually, it's not as bad as it could be. Duplicate licence already
ordered from DVLA (£19). All MoTs can be replaced automatically now
they're on some central computer somewhere. There were four of them, so
that's another £50. NUJ card can be replaced.

Hm. Wonder how I'm going to get my shoes back from the mender? The
ticket was in it as well.

True. Unfortunately it comes at the sme time as the post-Xmas CC bill,
and the car is due for servicing on Monday.

Hmf.

Oh well, I've pulled off the two wrecked panels, fitted the spare
headlight I had knocking around, and now I'm about to pop back to Carl
Rosner because I need a couple of fairing clips and fasteners which went
AWOL.

 

LOL, *we* will, but what about TOG, I don't hold much hope!

 

Wicked in a previous life, innit?

 

Thass what I meant!
As long as we are ok.
Thass what matters.

True.

**** me sideays. Some geezer has just knocked on the door. He had my
walet in his hand - avec cash.

Seems his Dad saw it bounce out of my pocket, but couldn't do anything
until he got home to his reading glasses in the evening, because without
them he couldn't read the address on my driving licence.

**** me.

I bunged the bloke £20 and told him to give it to his Dad and tell him
to go down the pub. He grinned and said he would.

Restores one's faith in human nature when that happens. Mind you, I do
remember finding a wallet at Paul Ricard, and wandering around the tents
with it, and the look of delight on the face of the bloke who'd lost it
must have mirrored my own.

Don't bother: they were fucked anyway, and if you don't collect, you
won't have to pay.

Result. And you can put the duplicate licence, MOT certificates and NUJ
card on ebay to help recover some of your losses.
