no doubt about it, though.. Gerard has had bad luck for so long now.. maybe the culmination of it all, is just as he and his wife, ( who is fooled into thinking the affair has ended ) are back in the same bed together, guess what?? she ups and hurls herself off the Kholo bridge in the dark of night , leaving him the beneficiary of her insurance policies.... finally, a stroke of good luck for Bad Luck Gerard... ..
a wife that lays around all day like Camille, in the opera la Traviata, 3 girls when a son is needed to tip the scales on a dodge baronetcy, a wife who his mum and dad and sister are not too happy with, because she lost control of her bladder once... has trouble keeping a job, finally, dad and mum buy him one, only to find he cant seem to rachet it up to mogul status in a year.. to expand he has to take partners, and guess what?? they spend their money recklessly, and then the floods hit!!..
and then ,guess what?? after putting the hard word on one employee , he does it again, except this one clings like glue.. no matter what he does, he cannot get her to set him free , free to enjoy life with the wife and fiddley dids ,all tucked up back in the rented house.. ... he is driven , against his better nature to lie to her, and now he has to lie to the wife, as well.
and then.. one night.. .. all that bad luck seems to vanish, ... except no one will believe him!!.. he HAS the good luck and then the rotten QPS arrest him and charge him with murder!!.. he doesn't get bail!!.. back on the Bad Luck roundabout..
its almost too too sad..
