In Thailand, the annual military draft lottery in early April requires young men to draw a card : red means two years of mandatory service, and black means exemption.

Tenants in our third buy to let complaining about a bit of damp again. This generation wants everything handed to them. Margaret's horse costs us £800 a month and you don't hear us moaning. Open a window and get on with it.

When Ray Parlour and the rest of the Sunday crowd turned up at the pub, there were rules.
You got there at noon.
If you were late, it was a £50 fine.
Then everybody had to agree what time they were leaving, and once that time was set, nobody left early.
If the vote said 7 p.m., then 7 p.m. it was.
Anyone who walked out before then got fined £200.
Then one Sunday Tony said he needed to leave at three in the afternoon.
That did not go down well.
The rest of them looked at him and wondered what had happened.
“Are you feeling all right, Tony?”
“Lads, I have to.”
“You can’t. The rules are the rules. You made them up. If anyone else wants to leave early, they can’t.”
“Nope, I’ve got to go.”
Nobody was having that.
A few pints later, just before three, a car pulled up outside the pub.
The driver came in to collect him.
By then Tony was hammered.
So naturally the first question was what on earth could possibly be so important that he was blowing up his own system for it.
“I’ve got to go to do the FA Cup draw live on television.”
This was a car from the FA.
Sent from Lancaster Gate to pick up the England captain and take him to do the draw.
So once he had gone, the rest of them stayed where they were and waited for it to come on.
They sat round the television in the pub and watched Graham Kelly introduce it all.
Then came the line-up.
Terry Venables was there looking exactly how you would expect an England manager to look on television.
Suit on.
Tie on.
Hair neat.
Then the camera went to Tony.
And Tony looked like he had just been pulled out of the pub.
He was swaying.
His shirt was hanging out.
He had trainers on.
He looked, in Ray Parlour’s words, “a right scruff.”
The camera did not hang around on him for too long either.
Tony had to pull a ball out.
He put his hand in and started swirling it round.
You could almost picture Terry Venables beside him thinking, just take a ball.
Then Tony pulled one out and announced it.
“Thirty-one.”
The problem was there was no thirty-one in the draw.
So they had to stop him and tell him to look again.
It was thirteen.
By then it had become clear enough that this thing needed supervision.
They ended up with someone behind him checking he was reading the number properly before he said it out loud.
Back in the pub, they were in bits.
Then, after all that, the same FA car brought him back.
By that point it was getting towards the original leaving time and the lads were ready to go home.
Then Tony got out and walked back in.
“Did I get away with that, lads?”
He had also provided them with one of the funniest things they had ever seen.
He paid the £200 fine for leaving early.
And after that he changed the leaving time.
One in the morning.
