Title: Cerberus\' boat finally comes in....I\'m in the money, I\'m in the money!!!
Post by: Cerberus on May 17, 2005, 05:37:49 AM: Well, not really, it\'s only 50 quid.

When I was a baby, my dad bought me a couple of quid\'s worth of premium bonds.

Finally, after 31 years, one of them came up, and I got a cheque for £50 through the post.

I\'ll probably piss it away over the weekend, or put it towards something special, I\'m not sure yet, it\'s finely balanced between the 2 options.

My dad just told me, it could be like waiting for a bus, you wait ages for one to come along, then 3 come along at once.

He said my grandma won one once, then she won 2 more within the space of a few months. The first one was only small time, but the next 2 were bigger, the last was worth £2k (a tidy sum now, but back then, in the 60\'s, it was a small fortune), so you never know, I could strike it really big next time.

:)

I think America owes MUCH to Europe, not limited to the whole pizza debacle.
