I believe they tried to burn Welshie at the stake. They kept the fire going for 2 weeks but it had no effect.....she walked away, no problems.

Is there not something about stirring things clockwise? If you stir anti-clockwise you stir up the devil or something.
Oh hell.

When I started my current job I was constantly reminded not to say word "quiet". Half jokingly, half seriously. Use any other word but "quiet". Apparently if you say it then all hell breaks loose. 
In my experience if the hell breaks loose it happens 30 minutes before shift ends.

Yes I was just taken by your turning round of the phrases - I liked that, hence the "Touché".That's okay, I describe myself as a heathen, but I wish you well.
Just to be clear, I wasn't having a dig at you, or anyone else at all with my comment. It was just a light hearted observation.
I might do that now too, just to see the confusion on people's faces! 😆Can't be certain but I don't think that is actually a law.......so if you wish to do it that way round feel free
Being a Taurus, it is all Bull to me! 😆

I feel a bit uneasy about solar eclipses, and the sun and moon generally. Fine tuning of the conditions for life is dealt with by the anthropic principle, but having our two main heavenly bodies be exactly the same apparent size in the sky just seems like too much of a coincidence.
Rainbows are a bit too pretty for my liking and all, but there's a load of stuff either side we can't see so I've learned to deal with that.

I can be merry for twelve days and happy for 365, I don't think I could manage it the other way round.

A chef I know is very particular about knives which must be laid down with point and edge away from you and a knife can never be handed directly to someone else.
If giving the knife to another person it must be laid down by you and then picked up by them. Never from hand to hand.

Yes, that's what I said. It's too perfect, something must be afoot.

This is not superstition, it's catering good practice: for safety.
