Many moons ago, I wrote a program on a friend's CPC 464 to pick six unique random numbers, from 1-36 - lotto numbers.
His oul fella comes in, sees what I'm doing, and quickly jots down what's on screen - computer generated lotto numbers? Guaranteed winner!
A week later I see the oul fella again and he excoriates me. "Them fuckin numbers you gave me were a bag of shite. Your computer program is a load of bollox."
Thankfully no parallels can be drawn between this incident and current trends.
