Maybe you ought to think about buying a lottery ticket before your luck
runs out? ;-)

On a serious note, the local tv stations here in Aus spoke to one of the
many Aussies currently in London.  This guy was just outside one of the
Underground stations when bombs went off - think he had just left it,
then was walking by the bus that was bombed just as that happened.  He
had just walked out of the Sari club in Bali seconds before the club was
bombed in '02, and was in the immediate area of the Boxing Day Tsunami
last year.  The poor guy was very distressed - albeit feeling very lucky
to be alive.
