Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

What's in a name?In my younger days, we used to live near a family who had 4 girls. Jade, Amber, Ruby and Crystal. Yay for Eastend Chavs and 'themed' names for their kids.
Having said that, I wanted to name my two after characters from Thomas the Tank Engine, but the Fat Controller {aka Mrs.Coopsweb} wasn't too impressed. "Come here Diesel and Stepney Coops!"
Also, hats off to the parents of the guy the wife went to Uni with = "Tim Macbeth Jelly" Well Done, that one makes me loose it everytime she mentions her graduation ceremony.
And finally - to the parents of the two boys on the train from Victoria yesterday - was it really necessary to have you kids names shaved into their crewcuts? Honestly!
