Wow, i've had a really brain dead day. I took the train to work today and, in typical dopey fashion, proceeded to get on the wrong train!

Well, i realizing my mistake, i dashed off the train to try and get to work on time. Well, i my rush i left my bag with my wallet (£60 inside), my phone, my chess board and book! and various other bits and pieces on the train, DOH!

As soon as i got to work i cancelled my cards and all that. Phoned my girlfriend so she could remind me of what a dumbass i am, etc...

Anyway, she is a little more sensible than me and quite cleverly decided to phone my mobile to see if anyone answered. Well, shore enouph, i friendly Spanish chap answered and has given me his address to go over and pick it up! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂


Through years of watching tv, i had come to the conclusion that everyone is out to get you, honesty no longer exists, etc...

Isn't it nice to realize that people are willing to help you out 🙂

i lost my wallet once or rather it was stolen while I was in the hospital a couple years back for a kidney transplant. 3-4 weaks later after I had already replaced everything I got the wallet in the mail with everything in it save for $25...ironically there was no return address on the post

I went to Cornwall one summer with some friends. We went down to the coast to scramble along the rock cliffs. It was great, but for some reason i took my wallet out of my bag and left it on a rock. Needless to say a couple of hours later i realized i'd lost it.

About two months later i recieved a call from a lady at my bank, calling from SOUTH WALES! Telling me that my wallet had been handed in by a gentleman who had found it on the beach.

Basically the wallet had washed out to sea and had turned up in, what is technically, another county!

She sent me the guys address but to my shame i lost it before i could say thank you 😳
