Pooster tells us that a relative was once sent to the shops to buy an onion, while the rest of the family went on a daytrip while he was gone. Meanwhile, whole sections of our extended kin still haven't got over a wedding brawl fifteen years ago – tell us about families at war.

You can't talk to them for five minutes without them bringing up what 'er Sharon sed towar Jeehson (twenty years ago.) This constant atmosphere of bickering and ill-feeling, endlessly propagated generation after generation after generation, was perhaps the reason I became the black sheep and have little if any contact with them now. On the plus side, this has strengthened my desire for independence no end; on the minus side, I find the very notion of family, so fundamental to most people's lives, quite appalling. To most people, it stands for happiness, warmth and support - to me, it means overboiled grey vegetables, cold uncomfortable chairs and two distorted ugly faces screaming at each other, forever.

You've just summed up my entire family existance for most of my life. Nice to know that it's not just myself who considers "family" to be a truely horrifying term.
