    This is the second of the 3 Friday the 13ths that happen this year. For those readers of a superstitious bent or those with a phobia based on the 13th I'd like to ask if anything untoward occured last time that justifies a continuning fear of the 13th when it falls on a Friday?

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    What a load of poo! Pighead has no time for all that superstitious Friday the 13th nonsense. Have never ever ever experienced bad luck on the 13th. And the lucky clover Pighead keeps in his underpants will make sure that it stays that way.

    Nothing today but I remember one year Friday 13th fell on halloween.


    That one was really weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    Hmm just try and find of copy of this game today....

    Friday the 13th & no 6th so far = What the hell?

    Weird indeed.
    Was that back when the Julian calendar was in use?

    Gregorian.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Gregorian.
    The Gregorian one is the one we currently use.
    Friday the thirteenth cannot fall on Halloween because Halloween is always the 31st.
    Dipso facto.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,639 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    Friday the 13th and I get Stickied for the first time. I don't know if I should feel Durty or unclean.
    I'll opt for Durty. :o

    Well today i woke up all warm and stuffy. It was either ghosts or my girlfriend turning the central heating on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    I'm having a CRAP day today. Slept in, my colleagues are incompetent SH*TS, my boyfriend owes me money but his w*nker bank won't clear a cheque that he lodged on Monday until next WEDNESDAY so that ruins both our plans for our first weekend going out on a mad one in ages. Sob sigh sulk :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,528 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    A third of the world is having a better than normal day. Another third is having a worse than usual day. The final third are having a day like any other. Just like any other day of the year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,477 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Well the last 2 Friday the 13th haven't been that exciting but I'm going to Crystal Lake tonight, so maybe I might get lucky and get off with some hot chick

    Seriously though I don't believe in bad luck, i believe in Karma, and I haven't done anything wrong in a while so I'm safe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th

    i've been busy dealing with the surplus of new souls.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,338 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    I was walking home today and as I walked up the road, a black cat jumped down off the wall.

    He was about to run across the road, and thus cross my path, but he stopped suddenly, and stared at me, with a mix of terror, curiosity and menace. He then waited for me to pass him, till he jumped back up on the wall again and scarpered off.

    I know it is bad luck for a black cat to cross your path, but what happens if they stare straight into your very soul on Friday the 13th??!!:eek:

    Nah i totally concur with Pighead, all this superstitious stuff is bull****!!! Is there really any reason to be gloomy on a particular day when everything is so **** nowadays?!

    We need a day to be designated lucky to counteract this negativeness! :cool:

    Backed a horse that was tipped on boards and it romped home at 20/1
    If I make it to midnight without being hacked to bits by a crazed lunatic wearing 70's glasses and a sarcastic smile it will have been a good day.

    I spotted a house on fire today. Phoned the fire brigade and the house is still standing.

    Bad day for them. Good day for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,835 ✭✭✭CamperMan


    went to cut some wood on the 13th, took my chainsaw and axe with me, the fr!ggin chain saw slipped and narrowly missed me.. then I went to split the logs, I missed the log and the axe came within an inch of my foot, I gave up as I remembered it was Friday the 13th


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭mumhaabu


    I got insulted by my sisters boyfriend and he really started f'ing me out of it, I was so angry with him as it was totally unprovoked, yet I did not react and kept my cool and thus felt better in the knowledge that I am a better person than he is. My poor sister came apologising for the gimp then, and they had invited me over! Man families are complicated :confused:

    My birthday (13/11) sometimes falls on a friday. It's usually uneventful.

    Last night on the way home, the train reached my station without any delays! Strange or what?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,144 ✭✭✭Parsley


    Last night at a house party i was beating my friend in a game of uno, he got fed up and went to the fridge. He opened the fridge and one of my badly stacked beers fell out, and sprayed all over his face and clothes. Later another friend went to the fridge and fell comically on his ass cos he slipped on the wet patch left on the floor from the beer. :D

    Fairly good friday the 13th for me, about 10 of us from school went down to the bookies with free 5er bets from the papers, all of us put it on american trilogy in the 2:05 at cheltenham @ 20/1 and it won, 100 euros each was class. Ruby Walsh i love you.
