Lucky numbers

THE Nottingham couple winning £45 million on the EuroMillions lottery last week reminds us of the gag when Scots couple Colin and Chris Weir won the biggest every Euro lottery prize last year.

"Did you hear a couple who live near Largs won the £161m EuroMillion draw?"

"Fairlie?"

"Of course, you can't cheat the lottery!"

Cleaning up on stage

NEWS stories of comedian Billy Connolly walking off stage at concerts in England, unhappy with hecklers, remind John Park in Motherwell of seeing Connolly in Glasgow. Says John: "A bloke in the audience started heckling him. Billy looked over at him and said, 'I don't like getting interrupted at work. How would you like it if I came into your workplace and told you how to sweep up?'"
