Wishing I Was Lucky

[Brighton Breezy]

I won a days training at Highbury with some Arsenal players when I was on a Coerver Coaching Course, and then won one at Wembley for a weekend but couldnt go as it was in the middle of my family holiday.

 

[Marshy]

I take it Ive won then !

 

[The Great Cornholio]

I won Barry McGugian's Boxing for the C64 from the Eastbourne Herald. And £300 on Channel 5's 100%. And a set of Pastels for 2nd Prize in the Midland Bank Junior art compo (I can't draw to save my life - the pic that won was 100 times better than mine!)

I've had a share of £200 from a club fruity a couple of times. I won a signed Albion football in the mid 80's - it's still covered in clingfilm to protect the scrawls of Haans Kraay et al.

I've won £400 on a horse racing Yankee without really knowing what I was doing - I then won £250 doing the same a year or so after - I rarely bet on horses.

I won £10 on whatever the old Albion money making scheme was and got a letter from that nice Mr Belotti with my prize.

I won £90 on this year's Grand National.

I won a box of tea bags at a darts raffle once.

I won £80 for 4 numbers on the lottery.

I've never won at cash bingo - ever. Despite many attempts on holidays to Pontins, Butlins, Haven etc. - my Mum always won but never me.

I come second in a crazy golf competition at Center Parcs last year and then won the snooker competition.

I won a free holiday at Devon Cliffs Haven after winning the Pool Competition on the worst pool tables in the world, ever. There was so much cloth on the cushions that it was like playing on a velodrome.

I played in THE worst kids football team ever - Trees United. Best result was losing 3-1. Worst result was losing 31-0. Average score was 15 or 20 - 0.

Stop me if I get boring! Whose going to go on Mastermid now? Specialised subject - The life of The Great Cornholio!

[Easy 10]

I won a slab of meat in a raffle one Sunday down our local. It was quite fatty.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I had 5 numbers on the lottery. The result came up as i was watching Blind Date. My breath shortened and i started running. When i came back, i phoned a collection of greedy friends, borrowed £200 off my mum and went down the pub. There were many promises made that night.
I was out until 6am, talking about my new ventures i'd fund with my vast winnings. A slip of paper lay by my bed with my mum's spidery handwriting on it.

"£180. I'm sorry."

So, i never got to make my biopic or buy a horse or play for the Albion. But at least i have my health.

That happened to me too. I'm a vegetarian though.

Itake it that was the same night I won £16 for 4 Numbers somewhen in 1995

I won £85 with 4 numbers once, and in a blur of ill-considered shopping lust, I spent the lot down Ford Market on a tan-coloured tatty leather jacket that makes me look a bit like Indiana Jones. If you squint your eyes. And imagine.

That sounds about right, yeah.
I wanted to blame Uri Gellar. It's got all the hallmarks of one of his experiments.

 

[Brixtaan]

I won our 30-strong Telegraph Fantasy football mini-league amongst mates 2 seasons ago.By far and away the greatest achievement of my life so far but it was earned not won.

I squinted and this happened:

And Rolf Harris is your best man.

You can see how the missus gives me a bone every time.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I won a raffle at the Forty Notes crimbo party, got a t shirt that is too big for me saying summat about Ska on it and a Space Raiders cd that i am still to listen to.

 

[poke]

years ago i won an eternal coat and cd, although me and my brother applied as well and we both have the same enitial so when it came back we wasnt sure who had won.

also won a football kit for my schools girls football team through the sports argus.

won a signed ablion ball, and an a-z book of the albion at the remf

 

[Rambo]

So in summary, we are not a very lucky bunch then.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I won £32 on the office Grand National sweepstake this year. Still didn't match the excitement of the Fraggles though.
