Do you have a lucky charm
Do you have a lucky charm or a habit which is part of your everyday life, wearing certain cloths or superstitions like always putting your right shoe on first and quirky things like that
Me, I wear a St Christopher medal round my neck, the only time it ever comes of is if I need an Xray, another thing is I nearly always wear black tracksuit bottoms of slacks, when I played Golf I always dressed in all black including golfers hat

Re: Do you have a lucky charm
Nope.
Same sort of mumbo-jumbo as religion in my book. Though I can understand that human nature means there's a need to try and attempt to alter fate's path, by means of prayer, or rubbing a 'lucky' talisman. Thankfully, not being human, I don't share that need.

I am not lucky and according to the woman that slap me across the face I have absolutely no charm at all, so, the answer is no, I don't have a lucky charm!

Re: Do you have a lucky charm
Whenever we drive past the Premium Bond place in Blackpool, mum always asks Ernie to pick her numbers. She has won £175 in this month's draw.

Re: Do you have a lucky charm
Whenever I pick my lottery numbers, I have a special ritual that involves half-closing my eyes, humming tunelessly and waving my pen around in the air before marking my numbers at random.
I haven't won yet and I don't half get some funny looks in Tesco.

Re: Do you have a lucky charm
Here in Italy, in the autumn a lot of older people carry a horse-chestnut (conker) in their pocket -it's said to ward off colds.
Personally, i always have a candle lit in the widow all night on the 31st October. At Xmas i always bring some real evergreen foliage into the house and Mistletoe -to ward off illness. It also signifies the end of the cycle of the seasons. I am a follower of the Cult of Nature...

Re: Do you have a lucky charm
I used to have a very lucky "Tigers Eye stone", but I lost it.

Re: Do you have a lucky charm
Not really ... except that I do pick up pennies that I see lying in the street. "See a penny, pick it up. All the day, you'll have good luck." Doesn't seem to work though. But, I roll the pennies and add them to my regular donations to the Kingston Humane Society.
