I saw one driving up the A24 on the way to the '91 play-off final.

Seeing as we were playing the Magpies that day I remember thinking that was a bad omen and we all spent the rest of the journey desperately searching for another one.

Needless to say we didn't spot another and the rest was history.....

Brill!! Just reminds me outside Millenium with pint in hand looking up and seein seagulls flying over the North end and just knew
IT WAS OUR DAY!!

I have NO IDEA what you are talking about! Saluting magpies ??

 

[Meade's Ball]

Ingrate.




I wear two pairs of lucky pants on important days. So far, we won the play-offs and i was successful in 2 job interviews. I don't want to wear the luck out though.

i have no idea either!

 

[Hungry Joe.]

I do it always. If I see one too late without getting the salute in I end up in a mess all day. Living in Upper Beeding and traveling to Worthing to work I therefore spend a lot of my time saluting or being in a mess. Luckily, being an old fashioned sort of a boy, I like saluting.

I always salute a single magpie too, and look for his mate. If its two together I just say good morning.

Touch wood.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Er, how do you salute a magpie?

 

[Yorkie]

Touch wood.

That superstition arose from peddlars selling 'original pieces of the cross' to people to bring them luck and heal them from diseases.

Load of rubbish.
