adlinds   10 #3 Posted March 14, 2008 Despite the 1 in 14.5 million chance, I win the UK national lottery three times a week without actually buying a ticket. Now THAT is lucky!  All I have to do is send every single last detail about myself and my finances to some fella in Nigeria (for the UK lotto) and I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams.

mapadale   10 #8 Posted March 16, 2008 LOOK as every Sheffielder knows, (unlike them southern softies), if a thing looks too good to be true, it usually is !!!!  You want to try saying that again. I happen to be a "southern softie" and by the things I've seen by a lot of people up north, your more gullable by things than people down south.  And most of sheffield is made up of students, the most gullable of gullable. I should know been there and bought the T shirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
