Flanagan's Law

"Whatever happens, it's unexpected." As defined in *84 Charing Cross Road* by Helene Hanff. Said philosophically about unexpected turns in careers, especially in the arts.

Flanagan's Law can be a useful guide to preparation for challenges when combined with Murphy's Law: it's not just that if anything can go wrong, it will; it's that whatever goes wrong will go wrong in a way you didn't expect.
Helene Hanff, popularizer of the phrase, hoped to advance her future as a playwright or actress by reading classic literary works from a very old-fashioned reading list. She began to order books she couldn't find in New York from an English bookstore. It was her correspondence and friendship with the bookstore staff that made her famous: Flanagan's Law.

Helen Flanagan

A socialite and some-what 'actress' who appeared in Eastenders for 12 years. Mainly known in the UK for wearing to much make-up, having very spotty skin, tits out on a daily basis, unclassy dress code and having her hair tied back far to tight.

Person 1: Hey, Helen Flanagan is soooo hot could wank to her all day!!

Person 2: I couldn't she's a spotty, untalented mess.

Flanagan poking

The famous flanagan poke is often seen as an innocent hello to the untrained eye when in fact it is something much more underhand. It is a signal of sexual intent and it basically means she wants to ravage your naked body. Poking back is like a contract agreement, promising flanagan that she can get her dirty scouse hands on you.
