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.

Mad DadMy dad is a little loco.
He teaches Tai Chi by the river, goes on odd trips abroad and acts like the lovable lunatic that he is.
A few months back he visited Mexico to help out with some missionary work (My uncle is a priest and helped set up the mission, hence my dad's association).
A German TV actress was there with her crew hoping to raise awareness. They fell in love with dad and asked for an interview.
Next thing you know he features prominently on a 40 minute special broadcast on German national television (also featuring my uncle)
These types of things are regular occurrences for dad, and at this stage seem normal to him.
I just laugh at it - every week there is a new story! He is off the coast of Africa now and plans to return inland (Ghana) next year for yet more adventures! Retirement suits him.
