Triskaidekaphobia

[wheel_nut]

Are you superstitious? Would you buy a house with Number 13 on the door? Hotels and property developers often miss out the number, whether that be a house, room or a whole floor. Even Volvo seemed to be unsure about the FM13.

It seems like the decision is made, if you want a new vehicle early next year, then you will be having it on a 13 plate.

I did read that in Ireland they are still considering whether to use an extra number and make it 131.

The number 13 doesn’t bother me at all cos if it wasn’t for bad luck I’d have no bleeding luck at all

I go out of my way to back decent horses with the number 13, as my thinking is that “A good horse will have a price suggesting it isn’t any good, because hardened (but superstitious) punters avoid backing it”.

Essentially, you get a better price on a good horse. Such a price is exaggerated even more when backed on the tote in a large field handicap race, eg. 24+ runners.

So did I Carl, before that I didn’t think the 13th was unlucky at all, now I’m not so sure

The last two houses I bought, were because of the numbers, to some part of the decision

The last house that I bought, which is my last house, literally has a name which means a number…That number being the most luckiest number you could possibly have if you beleive in what I do.
So far, so bloody good
