altalt: shower - baths are disgusting - lying in your own filth, and rubbing it over you.

altaltalt: nothing that anyone else hasn't got, I don't think - a couple of war stories, and a particularly moving story about my great-grandfather.

My father spilled soup on Francis Crick at Harvard once, though.

altaltalt: My grandfather did a lot of research into this in his later years.
On his side of the family, it's mostly a bunch of Bristolian merchants that made their fortune, before it got taken over to Australia. Going further back it's all pirates, smugglers and wreckers with a noteable exception in a chap called Colonel Blood. Stan Laurel is my gran's cousin of a few steps remove.

My dad's side is all highland sheep crofters, though the clan history is pretty spectacular.
