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.

Mental Mummy Mum has a weird eccentricity where she can't utter the word "homosexual". She has to mouth it. A bit like Les Dawson's housewife character when talking about her uterus and women's troubles. And it's only that one particular word. She hasn't got a problem saying "lesbian" out loud, bizarrely.
She thinks that if you turn the thermostat on the heating up to 24 degrees it heats up faster than if you only select 20, for example. As if the little gnome that lives in the boiler burns extra logs for that additional four degrees.
My Mum also eats bananas by mashing them up inside the skin and then sucking out the filling from a hole made in the side. That's not eccentric really, that's just gopping.
