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.
