Unexpected Good Fortune
Travelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

Had to work for it..
But was approached to do some odd days here and there for a company and was told that after tax it would be £180 per day, that's not bad going really for me, after a pause and sharp intake of breath as I was impressed they took that to mean I wanted way more, then offered £250 per day (about half 9-4 with lots of breaks).
