Yesterday, Friday the 13th, My car failed the Spanish equivalent of the MOT test. It's only three years old and it failed on emissions. Furthermore I had to spend €250 on a new tow bar, because the perfectly good one which had been fitted since the car was new, didn't have the correct paperwork. The test centre in Algorrobo, which is government run, kept my log book and tow bar paperwork so that I can't nip off to Antequera and try my luck there. They wil return the documents when the car has passed the test.
Now in Spain, Tesday the 13th is the unlucky date, so I thought I would have been alright, but it just goes to show that it's where you're born that matters as far as superstition goes, and not where you live.
Changing the subject (a lot), if anyone likes a bet, get yer money on Barnsley for a top ten finish this coming season. They are favourites with the bookies to go down, but have brought in a lot of new players. I have a good feeling about it all, but then again, I get this feeling every pre-season.
