Friday The 13TH...Today!!!!!

[ginger ninger]

Q. Are you superstitious...?

Is there anything you wouldn't do on a Friday the 13th, do you avoid walking under ladders, do you hate it when a black cat gives you the evil eye, would you panic if you broke a mirror?
Personally it doesn't bother me I think that if something's going to happen it's going to happen what ever the date/day is.

What do you think?

Im not but me and the missus are waiting on some really important results.....feeling worse now!

[Bigmallly]

Nope, Nope, Nope & Nope....................not sure where the superstition origionated from. I'm sure there is a grape out there who knows though.

[rustylady]

Thanks for that Ginge. I hadn't made the connection, but now I can blame anything that goes wrong on the date.

* hands up.....hands up!!!!!**** I know this one!!!!!

T'was Friday 13th October 1307 when the King of France and the Pope agreed to team up and have the Knights Templar executed as they had become too powerful.

See....I'm not as thick as I look!!!!

...Tis a family birthday ( obviously not the same year though!)-and it's something we descovered years ago!!!

13 is one of my favourite and lucky numbers.

Not really but:

I now try very hard not to kill spiders - it's supposed to be very unlucky if you do

And I now feel a bit sick when someone emails me those horrible chainemails. Ya know, send this to 20,000 people and you might find 1p down the back of the sofa but if you don't send it, you will die horribly horribly and the world will implode immediately.

I always delete them because the logical part of me knows it's just rubbish but each time I've done it (a real chainletter and 3 email versions) I've had really bad news very soon after. Terrible coincidences I know but that little caveman part of my brian keeps connecting the two events so now my heart drops and I feel a bit sick when I see them in my in-box.

[Glutton4...]

I delete them too Lizzy, and the stoopid phone text ones too. I never pass 'em on, I just hit delete.

I'm not superstitious at all - never have been.



Perhaps that's why my luck is sh*te!

[jackie j]

Oh yeah just remembered I put me knickers on inside out the other day so I changed em round hoping it would change me luck and did the lottery, I got one yes one number.

[lizzylemon]

Perhaps that's why my luck is sh*te!

LMAO

And the light bulb goes on! DING!

[danmon_81]

Well screw you (excuse the superlatives) Friday the 13th.......Everythings ok with baby!!!!!! Today i am a very very happy man!!!!!

[toastie]

Not in the least superstitious - delete 'chainmail' e-mails, texts and throw away any paperbased ones. If anything then happens to me its purely coincidence. My partner's (thankfully) isn't superstitious either as he's now on a plane coming from Amsterdam back to Birmingham airport and has flown several times on Friday 13th.
