EccentricsWe all know someone who's a little bit strange - Mum's UFO abduction secret, or the mad Uncle who isn't allowed within 400 yards of Noel Edmonds.
Tell us about your family eccentrics, or just those you've met but don't think you're related to.

absolute zeroIn my yoof I worked at a grocers at the weekend. The local population was made up of a large proportion of cofin dodgers and quite a few of the 'eccentrics' from the nearby nuthouse on day release.
Anyhoo around halloween (coincidentally) I was manning the till with the bosses sister. We had a large display of pumpkins built up next to us. A man-mountain (I'm 6"3- but this guy must have been at least 7ft) walks up to the till with his goods.
Half way through ringing the items through, he points to the pumpkins and says:
"You see that? I'll get one of those, freeze it to near absolute zero and batter the bitch with it....."
The bosses sister was terrified and my gorillas eye-socket was starting to loosen up. However, he just walked away without his shopping, while we stood there open mouthed in silence.
He used to come in quite a lot before that incident. He also wore shorts and a t-shirt whatever the weather.
