Wobbling Jan 2017 3:44pm, 24 Jan 2017 4,520 posts	Quote Pin Wobbling Until we moved to the current Chez Wobbling, every house I'd lived either had a 6 or was a multiple of three (or both). The first home I bought was 163. The second, 96. The third, 3. It was the same when I was a kid: 446, 46, 6
Diogenes Jan 2017 4:04pm, 24 Jan 2017 20,287 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes [I used to live at 13. I subsequently moved to 52, four times as lucky. I've lived (the ones I can remember) at 28, 1, 33, 69, 24, 11c, 12, 6, 56, 17, 49, 13 & 52]
Seratonin Jan 2017 8:42pm, 24 Jan 2017 14,018 posts	Quote Pin Seratonin My abodes have been numbered - 35, 7, 11, 457 & 18 Strange that I prefer even numbers but have lived in nearly all odd numbers!
McGoohan Jan 2017 9:54pm, 24 Jan 2017 27,712 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan 12, 5, 23, 18, (then studenty places), 21/22, 17, 51, 160, 27, 25, 20 (there were some shorthauls in there as well whose numbers I can't recall)
Mazlin Jan 2017 9:56pm, 24 Jan 2017 2,195 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin There's no 13 on my street. Because there are only 5 houses, so it would look weird.
Duchess Jan 2017 10:06pm, 24 Jan 2017 7,358 posts	Quote Pin Duchess There's no 13 on my street either, the odd numbers start at 19 and the even numbers start at 2 almost directly opposite. God knows where 1-17 were supposed to go.

Fleecing Icicles Jan 2017 10:18pm, 24 Jan 2017 32,773 posts	Quote Pin Fleecing Icicles I live on the even side of the street though I don't know if there's a number 13. I did live in a number 13 though for 16 years with no mishaps, not sure I can remember any other numbers.

Red Squirrel Jan 2017 10:31pm, 24 Jan 2017 19,795 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel Gears thoroughly ground tonight. Waited in the cold for an hour for 2 buses which didn't turn up. The only bus which passes that way. Where the f**k were they? 20:17 - nope; 20:47 nope. The next bus was scheduled for 21:47. I doubted very much if that was going to turn up. How can they do this when people rely on that one bus for getting back into Bristol, 13 miles away? I might walk it next time - 2 hours 24 minutes.
