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.

I was quite strangewhen I was 16/17, I used to wear extremely outrageous hippie type clothes - huge baggy ethnic material trousers, with ethnic shirts and waistcoats - all clashing horribly. I also had monstrous hair and I'd never shaved, so I had a weird wispy beard. I also occasionally walked around with those chinese balls that clang in my pockets because I liked the bong BONG bong BONG noise as I walked along.
Children used to burst out laughing as I walked past, and people used to unashamedly stare. Looking back, I'm not really sure why I used to dress like this - maybe it was a cry for help or something.
My wife has, unfortunately but understandably destroyed all photographic evidence of this era, otherwise I'd post a pic.
