    The universe has been kind

    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.

    Well it was my first thought but only lasted about 5 seconds before common sense took over.

    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 . . . . . .

    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!

    Yeah, that sounds totally legit, too.
