THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO ME....
Mrs Villain, every now and again, bemoans the fact that we will never have an amazing change of lifestyle as we will never win the lottery for the simple reason that I have never in my entire life bought a ticket. Its a philosophical thing - tax on the poor and all that. I've never even been part of any office syndicate....
That's not to say I'm against gambling. Far from it....I'm no stranger to the inside of a bookie's shop, sometimes on horses, but more usually on the result of football matches. Oh and I also have a regular £5 monthly bet with the lottery that is run by the credit union that I've been part of for more than 15 years ....
The post arrived the other day with some great news that was almost exactly like getting one of the good Community Chest cards in Monopoly:-
I have much pleasure in notifying you that you have won Seventh Prize in the Lottery Draw on 17th June 2009. Your winning number was 14 03 05 and I enclose herewith a cheque for £250 being the prize money due to you...
Happy days. I'l be buying a new pair of golf shoes and some CDs I was thinking about but wasnt too sure about...
mp3 : Lene Lovich - Lucky Number
With big thanks to the delightful and handsome Davy H from The Ghost Of Electricity from which I, erm, 'borrowed' this track back in January and never got round to returning to him. For those readers unfamiliar with the song, it's a cracking piece of new wave pop that was a Top 3 hit back in 1979.....think Devo with a crazy girly singer....

Congrats JC why not treat yourself to one of these...I just have. A portable turntable with built in speaker. You can sit, sip and spin your favourite vinyl in the garden (then rip them to your PC)
Did you also know Lene Lovich did I Think We're Alone Now yonks before Tiffany
Surely it is better to invest this money sensibly in order to maximise its yield over time? A call to your Independent Financial Advisor would be prudent.
Eh Oh Eh Oh!
Congrats! Bank £1 and spend the £249!!! And Lucky Number was definitely a stand out track in '79!!!
Help ma boab! Lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink.
Roath Ravers season ticket and a fish supper for the adorable Mrs Villain?
Couldn't have happened to a nicer person, I enjoy your blog immensely. A.C
Golf shoes!!! Jesus.
hahaha!!! 'fraid I'm with Drew on this one! xoxo
But I need a new pair of golf shoes!!!!!
And besides, they're lovely.
Oh and DVD, the season ticket was purchased a few weeks back.
"For those readers unfamiliar with the song..."
I can't imagine anyone not being familiar with this song, but then I guess that's my age showing. Was it only a hit in the UK?
It wasn't exactly a hit here in the U.S., but the album Stateless was fantastic new wave pop. I wore out my copy as I stared at the odd looking but attractive Lene Lovich on the cover.
TSC.....I do have some (not many) readers under 25 who just might not be entirely au fait with Lene.
