Not me but my Grandma
She once bought me and my brother a 'Walkman' each for Xmas. We could tell they were off the market, heavy as a housebrick and about the same size. I even remember the make: SORNY. And it took 4 AA batteries. 4! for crying out loud.
So I stuck a tape in, pressed play and it worked! For a bit...after a couple of minutes the music started to slow down and ground to a halt. I opened the lid to find one of the spools had melted and molten plastic covered the inside and my tape, ruined. My Mum laughed her head off.
My Brother's did exactly the same. Brill! At least SORNY made consistent products.
Yay for Pudsey market.

» When Animals Attack
Attacked by Tom Selleck's Moustache
In Goa. I was staying in a mucky llittle room just off the beach as it was nearest to the bar as I could get.
Woke up from my daily Siesta and proceeded to get dressed. Picked my Jeans up off the floor, put them on and set off. A few seconds later, walking down towards the beach I noticed my right leg tingling just below the knee.
'Oh no, I've got ants in me pants' I thought. Better go back home and check it out.
Back in the room I took off the jeans and turned them inside out to be greeted by the biggest blackest furriest caterpillar i've ever seen. About the size of Tom Selleck's moustache, but with more fur.
I screamed like a girl, threw the jeans on the floor and shook for a bit as I watched the beast wriggle about. It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.
A minute or two later, composing myself back into a state of manliness, I smashed it to bits with a flip-flop, put some shorts on, went out and got drunk.
I was assured it wasn't dangerous but my leg tingled for about a month after.

Just remembered this one
GF bought some air fresheners from some 'bargain' shop in Bradford.
'Tikala Parfum d'ambiance'.
Ripped the back off a few, placed strategically in rooms around the house and before long the whole house stank of cat pee.
Lovely.
Still got one in the cupboard under the sink.

Jimmy Stewart in the bestest heartwarming tale ever. I've haven't met anyone yet who disliked it.
It's pretty much guaranteed to make you cry.

A Child Called 'it'
brought me to tears before the end of the first chapter. A beautiful book which everyone should read. I dare everyone to read it and not cry like girl.
