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.

Ronnie Mouth OrganThis is just going to degenerate into stories about tramps, isn't it?
I nominate the late great Ronnie Mouth Organ, an ex-boxer who hung around the centre of Merthyr Tydfil for years, talking to people. A lovely guy, he had a habit of befriending strangers, and trying to give them his shoes. He also had (as the name suggests) a mouth organ on which he would occasionally busk - well, I say busk, I mean, blow aimlessly, interspersed with Pogues-style yelling. We all thought he was just mad; just after he died, I found out his dad had made him take part in bare knuckle prize fights when he was young, which is why he ended up the way he did. RIP, Ronnie.
