    There's a river in Dundalk and it's about fifteen foot wide. Every single time Pighead or his pals try to jump across it they fall slap bang into the middle of it, resulting in wet clothes and soggy socks.

    We call it "The river of bad luck"

    Picking queues. Doesn't matter how long or short it is, if I join it, the person immediately in front of me will have forgotten their wallet/credit card/PIN/want 17 Happy Meals, each with a slightly different non-standard request.

    Same applies for lanes in traffic. There is some as-yet-unnamed law of phsyics that states that the lane I pick will immediately slow to a crawl, until I move out of it, whereupon it will immediately speed up again.

    I have horrible luck ranging from:
    • Women (every single girl I have fancied or have been with has gone off to have long relationships with my worst enemies, absolute plebs!)
    • I always jump into the longest queues where old women buy lottery tickets with 1 cent coins or people don't know how to use an ATM.
    • Getting so close to getting decent jobs I'm over-qualified for only to be told it's been given to someone because of "their location" (that's happened 3 times in the last 2 months)
    • Gardai pulling me over every second night asking for my details and what I'm at when I'm walking home from my mate's house at 1:00 at night.
    • Gardai pulling me over and accusing me twice of crimes I haven't even committed.
    • I'm sick every St. Stephen's Day, the only time I ever am in the year!!
    • Any hairdresser I go to they always butcher my hair causing me to go to another hairdressers a week later.
    • I'm can only grow facial hair on one side of my face.
    • I'm going grey before I can even grow full facial hair.
    • I don't normally get pimples but when I do get one it's the type you can't pop, sits on your forehead for a month in full view for everybody to see and seems to have it's own heartbeat.
    • Group fights, even though I don't fight whenever I'm just standing there looking at the fight somebody throws something and it always accidently hits me on the head. E.g. Big, thick wooden barstool.
    • The past 3 jobs I've had has made me redundant while the lazy gits in the workplace get to stay on.
    • People are always stealing my jokes and ideas and getting credit for it :mad: (That one is the worst!!)

    Christ, fùck my life!! :(

    Ah cool, they are good cars (well except the opel) the reason I asked was sometimes people buy fiats/citroens/etc and then complain about their "bad luck" because the cars break down, clutch goes, timing belt, etc. That's not luck though because you can affect the outcome by reading up on cars and buying something decent (like most japanese cars, mazda, honda, nissan, etc).

    I'll just say one last point on the honda civics, they are very good cars and engines but usually the previous owners have driven the sh1te out of them and there's abnormal wear and tear on the cars components. Maybe that's why you had problems tho?

    The car was 14 years old and i knew the timing belt had nevr been replaced so yeh was my fault for not asking to change it when it was serviced.
