I didn't think Richard Hughes would leave us on 13 loans, football folk can be quite superstitious.
Our young goalkeeper Jakub Ojrzinski has joined Cyprus second division club Spartakos Kitiou for the season.

You are right there @Jack, I think most thriving businesses are run on superstition and old wives rales.

My younger sis is in the States right now, apparently some hotels don't have a 13th floor or something?
Very bizarre, but apparently true.
{Ed002's Note - No hotels in the United States have a 13th Floor.}

Ed0002. You are wrong for once. The waldorf astooria for one. There are lots of hotels that do.
{Ed002's Note - It is owned by Hilton and they do have a 13th floor. The vast majority don't.}

I think they don't have Room 13.

As I’m an insatiable pedant I’m just going to have to say it.
They probably have a 13th floor, they just don’t number it “13th”.
Sorry.
{Ed002's Note - some number it as 12A.}

Could be right there Verdo.
Could Ron's pedantic logic apply to that too?
I wonder if any US sports team have dropped it from their squad numbers and shirts?
And they call the Brits quirky!

I've seen it called M because it's the 13th letter in the alphabet.

One of eds favourite bands the 13th floor elevators.

Just to add, most Asian countries don't have a 4th floor in hotels too due to superstitions.

Just to add to the debate . a lot of streets didn't have the number 13 house . people wouldn't live in them for obvious reasons.

Alot of emergency departments don’t have a cubicle 13 in them either - mine goes straight from 12 to 14 and I’ve visited others for work that are the same.
