I was shopping for easter eggs @ the weekend and noticed an official FA Cup egg that comes with a ceramic cup. The egg was a bit shabby, but was clothed entirely in BLACK & WHITE foil :) I got the girlfriend to buy me one - but I don't dare touch it... Is this egg an omen from the footie Gods? Has anyone else seen signs ?

Just make sure that the black and white is still in the cup come Easter!

Can somebody tell me where magpies stand in the superstition states? I don`t know whether to encourge them or pelt bricks at them! (:o)

Allegedly..... seeing a lone magpie is unlucky, 2 is OK. Just wave nicely at them, they're all on our side!

Magpies are lucky in pairs but foreshadow sorrow when on their own. Nothing for you to worry about; by definition there are always at least 2 Magpies when a Toon fan views one of these magnificent birds :-)

I had a powerful and visionary dream last night which even outshone Glen Hoddle's singing at my ex's wedding.I was going through living Hell in the dream, completely unable to relax. I then realised that I had 2 stones in my shoe which were literally burrowing into my foot. I got the shoe off and squeezed the stones out of my heel. One was a chip of granite and the other was smaller, but definitely a shard of steel.
I was musing over this before realising that it is a sign that we will be unbearably uncomfortable on Sunday until Dunc (big piece of granite) and Al (sheet-metal worker's son) come out into the light and relieve our suffering. It's in the bag!

Fortunately a group of them flew across the highway on our way up there so I was finally able to relax.PS. Don't let me near Dougal's kitchen window on Sunday morning, please. ;-)

I saw three magpies yesterday. What does that mean in the footie world then?Jay

Jay,3 Magpies usually means that you're gonna meet a girl, since your a girl yourself I would suggest that you quickly invest in a video camera and make yourself a small fortune...

I saw a group of 10 magpies on my way in to work this morning. Somebody reassure me it doesn't mean we're gonna get a man sent off. I think I'm getting the fear ;)-- http://welcome.to/toonarmy
