Re: Friday the 13th
I am not supersticious touch wood, but never cut your nails or hair on a Friday. Never wash on a Friday if the ship is to sail that day as you will wash yourself away. But it is Ok to kiss the mother in law ona Friday if you are going away as with a bit of luck she will be gone by the time you get back.
Happy daze John in Oz.
