    I must be the third. A friend gave me a bundle of her husband's old clothes to sell at at a carboot sale. There was a tenner in one pocket and a book of first class stamps in another. I did tell her of course, but she said if her husband was that careless I should keep them.

    Nice friend you have!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    It's amazing how much stuff we seem to be finding.

    I found a gold chain that someone had left lying around behind some glass in a jewelers. When I get out of prison I'll be 52.
