Thank you, Lydia. I also thought the King was in the all together .... as naked as the day that he was born.

I loved that film of HCA when I was little.

grr. I've got the Inchworm song as an earworm now. I can tell I'll be multiplying under my breath tonight. :rotfl:

There's only one thing worse than dying before the lottery is drawn .... living and realising you've lost the ticket

Although, in fairness, if you can state when/where you bought it, they know which terminal it came from... so you'd get it in the end.

DH is very fond of telling me this happened once, and the guy didn't get the money. Is he wrong?

You'd need a good explanation.

e.g. "I bought it somewhere in London when I was there for the weekend" is a different claim to "I bought it at my local Spar at about 6.05pm on the night of the Lottery just after the news had started; I remember the woman in front of me bought about 50 lucky dips".

But if you can say precisely which shop, the time (to within an hour I'd guess), you might stand a chance. It depends how hard it is to track down your version of events.

They know precisely which terminal and the exact moment the winning ticket was sold. All you have to do is match your story with that exact event - and that is why they never disclose which shop a winning ticket has been bought in when they're saying a winner hasn't come forward. They just say "in the .... area".

Coulson: "Er, Dave mate, there are some allegations flying around that whilst I was editor of the NOTW we might have done some dodgy things around some celebrities' phones."

Cameron: "That's ok, Andy mate, it's only a bunch of celebrities and their privacy we're talking about, nobody will really care."

Coulson: "Erm, well, actually, we might also have hacked the voicemails of some other non-celebrity types."

Cameron: "No problem, as long as it isn't anyone sensitive, we can get away with it, no worries."

Coulson: "Mmm, would you consider Milly Dowler 'sensitive'?"

Cameron: "Cr4p. That's not good, Andy mate."

Coulson: "Now's probably not a good time to mention the victims of the 7th of July bombings then? Or the families of troops killed in Afghanistan?"

Cameron: "Jesus Christ, Andy, what the f*** have you been doing? Are you trying to f*** my career up?! Anything else I should know about?"

Coulson: "Well, there's these police officers, see, and it seemed a good idea to at the time to offer them some money..."

Cameron: "I think it's safe to say Andy, we can no longer be mates...At least professionally"

I've just had an interesting 'phone conversation with my bank who, for several minutes, were unsure why they'd just sent me a new debit card. The old one is only 7 months old, so good to 2015.

Finally the girl said:

"Oh, I've got it, they've taken away your first name and put initials..."

"What do you mean 'they?' And did 'they' ask me first? Why have 'they' done this?"

"Errr...."

"It's OK, I don't really mind. I'm just pleased XXXX bank is doing so well it can afford to do stuff like this. Maybe it's a security measure."

"Oh, yes, probably"

"Mmm can't have people knowing my christian name..... Right, OK, so the old one's still good eh?"

"Oh yes."

"So that one goes in the shed. Then, when I hide my cards for security and can't remember where, I just go to the shed!"

"Well, maybe.....err....."

"Thanks, that's great!"

And I'm not joking about the shed either. Should have done this years ago! :rotfl:

I was told a not very funny joke about the Dalai Lama. I googled it just to fund out if there is a funny version, and I found this. Well worth watching the video.
