Are you superstitious in any way?I saw a lone Magpie the other day and without thinking about it i gave the Magpie a quick salute and then said"Good morning captain"to ward off the bad luck that it is said would befall me if i didn't carry out this "ritual".I will not walk under a ladder,i will not open an umbrella indoors and i will not place new shoes on a table,all because it is said to bring bad luck!
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!
