This is a question Eccentrics

We 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.

*spangs*
Grey Area wasn't really eccentric though, and the Sleeper Service was just pretending

:-P

true
more universally hated than Eccentric, wasn't sure whether to put Sleeper Service or Quietly Confident.

is it sad that I posted it or sadder that you spanged it though? ;)

The Culture
novels by Iain M Banks include a class of ships called "Eccentrics" that are nominally part of The Culture as a whole but sort of bumble around and do their own thing
