<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 4886444, member: 93702&quot;]20 years ago I was on a flight back to Ireland to see family (funeral unfortunately).. I was reading the book Papillon on the flight over (had enjoyed the movie of course but picked up the book at a used book store). I did not know when I picked it up that it was an autobiographical novel. Enjoyed it very much. </p><p>A few days after arriving some family brought me to the pub to watch the Grand National horse race (huge event there)- across the road was the local Bookie - so they all stopped in to place their bets first. Knowing nothing about horses (or betting) I put 10 pound down on a horse called &quot;Papillon&quot;.. at 10/1.. I knew it was fate as soon as I saw the name on the list. Of course it won and we had an extended stay at the pub!</p><p>Wish I had known about this auction!!! Would have bid just for nostalgia&#039;s sake..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
