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.

Freak MagnetMy partner and friends have - independently - commented that I seem to have a strange ability to attract weirdos.
The best one ever turned up whilst I was sat on my own in a pub waiting for a friend to arrive.
A complete stranger walked over and kissed me on the head. Not a quick peck, either but a full on, wet, lingering, semi-open mouth smacker right on my forehead.
He proceeded to sit down opposite me and started talking to me like I was his best mate. Except that most people wouldn't threaten their best mate every time they disagreed with any expressed opinion, no matter how trivial, such as "nice weather, innit".
After ten minutes of this I was starting to get seriously scared. Whereupon my friend arrived and, luckily for me, said friend is built like a brick shithouse and had no trouble at all ejecting the dangerous eccentric from our table.
We still thought it wise to move pubs afterwards though.
