Glad things worked out Looks like, Fridays [not just those on the 13th] can be unlucky [from the 1st link].... LEGEND HAS IT: Never change your bed on Friday; it will bring bad dreams. Don't start a trip on Friday or you will have misfortune. If you cut your nails on Friday, you cut them for sorrow. Ships that set sail on a Friday will have bad luck – as in the tale of H.M.S. Friday ... One hundred years ago, the British government sought to quell once and for all the widespread superstition among seamen that setting sail on Fridays was unlucky. A special ship was commissioned, named "H.M.S. Friday." They laid her keel on a Friday, launched her on a Friday, selected her crew on a Friday and hired a man named Jim Friday to be her captain. To top it off, H.M.S. Friday embarked on her maiden voyage on a Friday, and was never seen or heard from again. I remember from watching the Deadliest Catch. the captains would do almsot anything to not leave on a Friday. Link to comment

Ah, if only this were a true tale and not just a joke told by the Irish comedian Dave Allen on his BBC TV show in the 1970's. Andy Link to comment
