Superstitions
« on: May 13, 2011, 06:07:11 AM »
Sooooo, it's Friday the 13th and whatever minor mishap occurs, somebody is bound to say, "it's Friday the 13th". Off the top of my head the only one I do/mention is "touch wood", but that's more a jokey thing than I must do it or the inevitable ill happen

Any superstions you have?

Seriously though ...I always look for another Magpie when I see just one  redface: . I don't salute , or say good morning or spit or  anything though  noooo:

On the whole I am not superstitious though .

My mum was a bloody nutter about such things. Times when I was a kid and I came home, bought a new pair of shoes and put them on the kitchen table to show her. She would swoop in there and swipe the things off the table onto the floor saying that new shoes were never to be put on a table.

We were also never allowed to cross on the stairs   Shrugs:

Blue and green were never to be seen  whacky115

The list was endless  lol:

My Mum was the same... apparently we'd have ginger headed twins if we crossed on the stairs... t always seemed most unlikely...  noooo:

She'd turn her money over at the sight of a new moon too - never brought her anything tho...  sad24:

Christine Whatsit on TV was on about the magpies this morning and the spitting thing. None of the others had heard of the spitting thing so she said, "text in and tell me if you spit".... much stifled laughter on the sofa in the studio, and not so stifled at JOM Towers  lol:
