I can't believe that someone has had the time and patience to sit down and gather all that information on a mere superstition !

It said so in The Da Vinci Code so it must be true.graham wrote:I believe Friday 13th has a connection to the Templars - the day that they were turned on/ burned out of existence by the French Monarch of the time was Friday 13th. Or something like that.

Any idiot can deal with a crisis. It takes a genius to cope with everyday life.

Examining the CCTV recording , wonderful PC Gilbody saw a man board a train on another platform with my bag. This train stopped at two stations only, at one of which my bag was discarded! I collected it from Maidstone West yesterday! All the money gone, obviously, but diaries, notebook, phone, lipstick and cards all there. This is so superb. Fantastic. Today I buy the biggest glossiest thank you card for PC Gilbody!Munch
I was so pleased to hear that you got your bag back.....
