My husband doesnt gamble much but he won the last two bets he's put on. On one he got a tip and won 90 euro. He had a similar win before that on a long shot where he was told not to bother because there was "no chance"!

Have you ever been attacked by a goose?

No, but I was thrown off the back of a ram. Shouldn't have climbed on it, I suppose.

What is your most vivid childhood memory?

I was talking to a woman at the weekend and she was saying that her mother lived until 102. How old is the oldest person you know/have known?
