That's a hat-trick!

"...or shall we say "Third Time Unlucky"? Well, I have lost hope. Every time there is something good waiting to happen, something or the other just goes wrong. I try so hard to make it happen... I almost tell myself... 'oh, we are almost there'. But No! Fate doesn't like me fooling around and there I go again - lost, and hopeless. So close... yet so far... hmmmm, life goes on."
