Well yesterday was supposed to be a very auspicious day i.e. lucky.

It was the 8th of the 8th of 08. 08-08-08

So I chose 8 on my Euromillions entry and picked it again as a lucky dip number - and - and nothing not a bean and no sign of the wretched number 8 at all :))

In China they believe the number 8 to the luckiest number of all and yesterday more than 16,400 couples married in the Capital Beijing!

All superstitious nonsense blah blah blah...............
