    The company i worked for closed down recently. As i was a sales rep i had a company car and laptop.

    I was told that the liquidiators would be in contact with me around march to collect said items. I've talked to them a few times about getting paid but they never said anything about the car and laptop.

    It just strikes me as being a very lucky incident. Does any one have any other good luck stories.

    p.s i found another job almost immediately which i suppose was lucky as well

    Don't worry they'll come looking for that car soon enough.

    Now this is a story, all about how my life got flipped - turned upside down,
    And i'd like to take a minute,
    just sit right there,
    I'll tell you howI became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

    In West Philadelphia,
    born an' raised,
    on the playground is where i spent mosta my days,
    Chillin out, maxin', relaxin' all cool,
    An' all shootin some B-ball outside of the school,
    When a couple o' guys who were up to no good,
    Started makin' trouble in my neighbourhood,
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared,
    She said 'You're movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!'


    I whistled for a cab and when it came near,
    The license plate said 'Fresh',
    And had dice in the mirror,
    If anything i could say that this cab was rare,
    But I thought 'Nah, forget it - Yo, home to Bel-Air!'

    I pulled up to the house at bout seven or eight,
    I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo home, smell ya later!'
    I looked at my kingdom,
    I was finally there!
    To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air!

    If you dont pay the car insurance and car tax, you are kinda screwed
    One day there will be a knock on the door and the big man with da van will ask for car keys and cheque for said insurance and tax

    If you dont - say nothing
    But if you dont Karma - is your name url?

    I know that film!

    It's the one about the ex-CIA guy whose daughter is TAKEN from her apartment and when he finds out about it he has TAKEN offense to this injustice so he has then TAKEN a trip to Paris in order have her TAKEN back from the kidnappers.

    I think it was called "The Nutter who loved his daughter very much."

    Pighead
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    It was 1997, it was raining and Pighead was walking home from college. He was cold and wet. And worse still he was hungry. So so hungry.

    Finally got home and headed straight for the cookie cupboard. "Be gone hunger!" said Pighead as he opened the cupboard door with a flourish. But of course the cupboard was bare. That could only mean one thing. Fat Arse Frankie was home. Marched straight to his room demanding answers. "Where's Pighead's cookies Fatarse?" "Don't know mumbles Frankie" But he did know. The cookie crumbs all over his face, belly and bedsheets gave him away. Got angry at him and called him loads of horrible names including Big Bum.

    The rage was building. There was only one thing to do. To the pub. Four hours later and Pighead was blottoed. So blottoed that he was talking to a rather large girl known locally as "The Cookie Monster". She wanted action with a good looking Louthman and she could see that Pighead was for the taking. We kissed and cuddled and it was obvious that she wanted more. "Lets back to your place for some cookies Pighead" "No can do babes, Fat Arse Frankie has scoffed them all. That's fat people for ya. Can't be trusted. Hate every last one of them"

    And with that she was gone. Some say it was Pighead's harsh words about fat people that made her leave but those who knew her best knew that it was Pigheads lack of cookies that had made her skidaddle. Pighead had had a very lucky escape. Went home, went into Fat Arsed Frankies room, woke him up and gave him a cuddle of gratitude. The big man had saved the day.
