Do YOU salute magpies all the time too??????

[Brighton till i die]

i have this terrible habbit of always saluting MAGPIES whenever i see one.

if i see 2 i will salute twice and so on.

i have always done it, in the car, in the street, ****ing anywhere.

i know i look a right prick doing it but just cant stop.

Any one else have this "trouble"??

 

[caz99]

no but my boyfriend does even if he sees one when he is driving paranoid android

 

[readingstockport]

I always 'good morning mr magpie' but only if there is one and no more and only to the first of the day.

 

[Scarface]

I was told that seeing one magpie was bad luck and two was good luck. So when I see one on the way to a Brighton game I frantically look around for another one!

 

[227 BHA]

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.....

Only salute one Magpie, never two!!!

I never walk over 3 drain covers in a row-

I do walk under ladders though, i make a point of doing so!

My girlfriend does it to every one she sees. It's.... well, ok, I guess.

never do the 3 drains either - but 2 IS good luck.

magpies:

1 for sorrow
2 for joy
3 for a girl
4 for a boy!

My ex used to do it, a nightmare if you have ever driven from Luton to Bedford as there are about 8 million of them on that road.

Yes, yes I do it myself now

 

[Lammy]

I don't but the wife does.

I've I'm in the car with her this means I am forced to too!

[Meade's Ball]

I salute magpies. Just the one, of course, and ask him how his wife is. Typical of me, i don't hang around to find out the answer.

Yep, salute Magpies, won't walk under ladders, touch wood when i say something I don't want to happen, throw salt over my left shoulder if i spill any (although I always think i'm doing the wrong shoulder) and say bless you if someone sneezes.

Paranoid...moi?

i always thought it was the right shoulder dude??!!?!?!!?!??!?!

 

[Old Goat]

My whole mood for the day is influenced by whether I see one or two in the morning. There have been too many single magpies recently - big trouble!

 

[Mr Popkins]

Yep, and say bless you if someone sneezes.

Paranoid...moi?

but if the person says "thank you" its bad luck for them!

i never thank anyone!!!
