Trevor and Barry Get Lucky (3)
"I want it on record that I tried. I went looking for my usual luck in all the usual places, and under a ladder, twice, in front of witnesses. The lads at the café were no help whatsoever. Barry found something under a hedge. And on Fourth Street, at dusk, something started to happen that I'd seen once before, in a car park in Swindon, in 1994."

Trevor and Barry Get Lucky (2)
"Tuesday. I caught a piece of toast. I'd like it noted that I didn't mean to. After that the day carried on in a manner I can only describe as suspicious, and I spent a fair part of the morning lying underneath my own truck looking for the reason. Barry was no help. Barry was having a lovely time." - Trevor

Trevor and Barry Get Lucky (1)
"This story is for Jenny (skinner_jennifer) . I don't do dedications, but I'm making an exception. I'm told she's missed round here, and I know what it's like when a regular's seat is empty. Barry would like it known that he'd share his toast with her. He wouldn't . But he'd think about it, which for Barry is a lot. No charge." - Trevor Mott. (Two Ts.)
