Night Before A Funeral.....
Was in Sep 2004 that my dad died while I was on holiday drink related and not completely unexpected but still a shock all the same. Finished the holiday early and arranged flights back home etc for the funeral getting home on the Thursday for the funeral on the Friday. As I didn’t have a suit at the time I picked one up before flying back home and got the mother in law to sort the legs as the were two long.

Just after she finished altering the trousers and put them back in the suit carrier she hung them over the door by the hanger. Que a few seconds later the whole lot ended up crashing to the floor and the main light started flickering like mad they thought nothing of it at the time and went through to the kitchen when there they got the strongest waft of alcohol going past them and then disappeared as quickly as it came.

Best thing is as neither the mother or father in law drink they have none in the house it proper spooked them both out as no one else was in the house at the time and the smell was so strong it was as if it was real.

Couple Of Ones Here
You know when your at that just awake stage still partially asleep and about to open your eyes and gave a stretch before venturing into the world well as I was going through that stage one morning I opened my eyes to see a set of legs bearing the old rusty sheriff's pointing directly at me. Now in my half awake half asleep state I was wondering if I was dreaming or not then it happened my little brother dropped his guts mere inches from my face and ran away laughing to hard that he look like he was having some sort of fit. Went from asleep to fully awake and in killing mode in less than a second and beat the snot out of him for it.

Also when I was a wee nipper I was put to a nice catholic nursery run by nuns. However all I was interested in was playing with the toys and didn't care for the lovely stories about Jesus and all that other tripe (come on there was toys to be played with I wasn't going to pass that up) so when asked nicely to come over and listen to the nice stories I responded by saying no f**k off you bunch of penguins.

Strangely enough mother was told under no uncertain terms not to take me back i was the devil's spawn etc

Cheers uncle Nicky lol quality words you learned me there

Long time lurker first time poster
Had my fair share

While having a fight over masking take at school with a knife funny that my hand came off the worst all the teacher was worried about was the blood on the floor and his wonderful tools while I leaked all over the place

Have also fallen out of my loft onto stuff not once but twice first time was onto a chair not the greatest feeling in the world and secondly onto a ladder which promptly broke but to be fair it was like the ones that you see old people using in them adverts where they fall and break there arms and legs

After the latest one I have since purchased a new sturdy proper ladder which works a treat
