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 like your story......it reminds me of some of the eccentric teachers I had at school.
One was an English teacher who, quite rightly, had a very large vocabulary and was able to use it with great dexterity. School kids when given a chance will 'take the piss a bit' during class - particularly if they think they can get away with it. Invariably, with this English teacher, when anyone took the piss he would say, 'Hutber, I am convulsed with mirth', or 'Mullins-Hibbertson, your inanity puts me in a state of embryonic hysteria'...or somesuch.
Another of my teahcers was in his mid eighties, and taught Latin. He used to tie his dog 'Drucus' (named after the Roman General) to the back of his suitably old Morris minor, during lessons. Finally, one day he forgot to untie Drucus and he arrived home later that afternoon with a ball of meat on the end of a lead hanging from his back bumper.
