When it comes to good luck,i was once out gardening when a passing Starling decided to drop one right on my shoulder,this in my part of the world is said to bring good fortune and strangely enough that afternoon i won a large amount of money on a little gamble i had.
So what about you?do you have any superstitions?do you do certan things to ward off bad luck?or indeed to bring good luck?do you believe in any of it?over to you!

I think that magpie one is a pile of crap, You would hardly ever see more than one magpie at a time, and as for walking under ladders, well it's normally easier to walk around them, so why would you walk under one? etc. etc.

....Do you live in FL and are the father of my ex? My ex used to say that her father told her that. Only other time I've heard that is from you! :eek:

As far as superstition, pfft, sorry, but I do most of the stuff you people here avoid, for fun. :D

Bad luck? No more bad luck than I was born with.

As for the ladder thing..
lazy ppl walk under it rather than around if its in thier line of walking.
In my country anything that has a picture or any icon with a peacock on it is deemed unlucky.
I wonder how all these superstitions started ???

I've learned to live with what life throws at me. I've changed a lot over the past two years. I may get down sometimes, but I always wind up back up on my feet and running.

There is no luck, just life....
