The universe has been kind

[Akzle]

Yeah, that sounds totally legit, too.

common sense or Mrs. Oakie?

Nah. I didn't tell her for about 3 hours after that. I have her reaction on video too. Priceless.

Private room or there and then on the kitchen table?

So a good mate of mine got a phone call on Friday afternoon from a radio station telling him he'd won a $7k trip to London at the end of the month to see the Rolling Stones in concert. I was really happy for him as he is a real 'Stones' fan.
Then just one hour later I get a phone call from my bank telling me that our 'Save and Win' account had just been drawn out and we had won $10k! Outstanding I thought!

Interesting the twists and turns life takes sometimes.

(And no, a new bike is not on the menu)

Its a great feeling...several years ago a Finance Company called to inform me, that they owed me $7K...it helped me buy the CB1300.

Good on ya, great to hear. Have fun.

Bedroom actually. I might even provide the YouTube link if Mrs Oakie says it's OK.

I can't believe what a coincidence this is! I had an e-mail from the trustee of his estate in Nigeria yesterday, all he needed was my bank account details. Sweet as bro, can't wait for the moolah to start rolling in . . . . . .

Bwa ha ha. I got one of those at work this morning ... but it's from Holland ... and it's only $6.5 million. Miserable Dutch!. At least the Nigerian one is usually in the 20s of millions.

I won the house lottery, only to find out that the cost of the ticket was in the high 300K!

Ah well, at least I got somewhere dry to park the motorbikes now!

That is awesome stuff! Congratulations to both you and your friend!! Love hearing good news stories!

[Oakie]

Sure is. Nice! Do with that money what you will. I do however recommend a nice weekend away with Mrs Oakie, sans kids. Just enough wine for things to get "frisky". HI FIVE!

Well the kids have left home (in theory) so that's not a problem ... but as it turns out we are toodling away for a nice weekend to a small country pub with good food and nice rooms ...
