I was only kidding anyway Marlene. But as you've asked the question I can tell you that when I have to pick numbers for anything like that, I usually use family birthdays. The two numbers that always down first are 8 & 13. Back in the days that I did the football pools I also picked same initials teams. The one thing I would never do was put Wolves down to draw even if they were in one of those combinations of numbers 'cos I always expected them to win.
