Half way round mine were one and two, then one fell and the other one faded away. A moments happiness for me followed by misery, a bit like fishing when you hook decent fish and then lose it.
I only won it once and then lost it. I was working in a shop and I had my eye on one of the shop girls. She came in one Saturday on national day all upset as her boyfriend had chucked her the night before. Never one to waste an opportunity I thought I would show her how kind I was and gave her one of my national tickets. I said if it wins it should cheer you up. It won at 18/1.
When I asked her out she turned me down, didn't even offer to buy me a drink.
Wemmin, horses and fishing, put on earth to create misery.
Have I learned any lessons yet, of course not !
