Half Penny Jon Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Hi everyone,I heard on the news today that people who were born during the summer months are lucky and that people who were born during the winter months are unlucky. What's your views on this and are you lucky?Penny Master. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Well I was born in June, and found a rare 1823 (with I as 1 in date) farthing wedged inside another hollowed out old farthing the other day.Sold the coin for £38. Now that's pretty lucky! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 14, 2004 Author Posted April 14, 2004 I was born in May! Once I found a £20 note in the dark! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I was born in March (15th March) and i'm definitely not lucky. I was born with a Cleft lip and Palate, a lovely picture of which can be found here (not me btw). However, I had a skilled surgeon who rectified, then I went to a cosmetic surgeon and had plastic surgery (how about that - cosmetic surgery at 1!). In all I've had about £100,000 of treatment on my mouth - I've squeezed tons out of the NHS! Once when I was younger i tripped over an umbrella and I had no shoes on and one of my toenails ripped itself off (not a pleasant experience, I can tell you). Well that's all my worst bad luck....never come up on Premium Bonds either Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 14, 2004 Author Posted April 14, 2004 Thats the first case of bad luck on a lucky person so far today! The most bad luck I have ever had is being dropped on my head when I was a baby, I've got a scar like Harry Potter now! (But not in the same shape though). Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Oh I've rolled off tables once or twice when I was a baby Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I had to have the nerves in the 2 root canals of a tooth removed yesterday. I spent about an hour and a half having various small pin like files inserted into my roots until all traces of the killed nerves had been removed.But it was my own fault, not really bad luck. I have good teeth and should have had the tiny hole filled while it was still a tiny hole! So, i have my first filling aged 25. Quote

The worst I've had done is having two teeth out!Penny Master. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I had a choice, £50 to have the thing pulled out, or £250 to keep it and get it fixed up.I'd grown attached to it, so elected to keep it, despite the extra expence. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Ooh I've had countless extractions - a record (for me) of five in one go. The first time I had a tooth out I had it under general anaesthetic but the latter ones I just had an injection. I didn't like the gas because they just pressed the mask to my face and I was in the middle of inhaling so I spluttered but the assistants held me down until I went out Quote
Sylvester Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I had to have the nerves in the 2 root canals of a tooth removed yesterday.

I have good teeth and should have had the tiny hole filled while it was still a tiny hole! So, i have my first filling aged 25. I had my first two fillings in January, aged 19 of all things.It's my own fault, last time i eat a bag of eclairs... they are rock hard and i cracked not one but two teeth, at different sides.Infact the filling is playing up... and i really need to get it seen to.Other than that i've had no real problems, only had about 5 baby teeth yanked because they refused to shift.No sign of the wisdoms yet.By the way i was born in July.Oh and Oli you have the same birthday as my dear departed grandfather.

Emperor Oli Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 There's soemone else in here with my birthday too....................odd Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 14, 2004 Author Posted April 14, 2004 Oh sorry, bit too slow today! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Custard1966 or mint_mark or somebody else I can't remember Quote
william Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Custard1966 or mint_mark or somebody else I can't remember The guy who shares your birthday is Fenman. I know someone who was born on March the 15th also. My birthday is on the 4th of September, which isn't lucky at all, because my birthday is the day I normally go back to school after the summer holidays. Penny Master, I also have a scar on my forehead. When I was a toddler, I fell out the front door of my house and hit my head on a nice sharp stone! Hardly lucky... Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 14, 2004 Author Posted April 14, 2004 Apparently, September borns are one of the more unlucky ones. Quote
Sylvester Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 With my luck that's hardly surprising... i've got two scars on my head, one from running into the kitchen so fast as a young en and bashing my head on the corner of the cabinatethe second was from spinning around until i got really dizzy, tripped and went head first into the radiator... owch.Must have been 3 or 4 when i did all that. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I have a scar on my forehead/hairline too, and it was from the sharp side of a radiator after I rolled down the stairs as a young en.I also have a scar in my head that needed stitches after I had a go on my friend down the roads bike. Mine was the kind that the pedals went round with the wheels...There was no slip gear like on adult bikes.I didn't know his was a 'proper' bike and went rolling backwards down a small hill for a short distance, confused about how it was happening, and before I even thought about pulling the brake I met with a wall and was hospitalised. Quote
william Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Ouch!! When i was four i fell off a sofa, and broke my right arm. I had to wear a cast for eight weeks. Oh and last year i stubbed my toe on a plank of wood and that turned out to be broken! Wow, my luck really is rubbish Lol Quote
william Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 That can't have been nice! Trust me man, it was far from nice! Lol Quote
