» Phobias

My dad had a phobia
of us kids, we used to take his false teeth out of the glass and stand them, balanced on the molars, he said it set his teeth on edge

An enormously long read, but well worth the time.
Basic premise is... fake cheque for nearly $1m cashed as a joke, turns out fake cheque was real, lots of hassle, lots of fun.

» Utterly Drunk

Drunk, I say!
My Ex Sister in Law worked in the City, earning megabucks like they used to in the 80's and 90's, and would oft go on a spree when their boat came in. This she would do on a regular basis, but my brother and I had to work particularly late this evening and decided we would meet her at Kings Cross. She turned up looking like a £5 hooker with a £1000 accent, and whatever passed for Jimmy Choo shoes and a Lagerfield dress.
Calling her over to the platform, she shouted back "I''l be there in a second, I'm gonna be ill" She staggered over to the nearest waste bin, the sort jubilee clipped to posts, and threw up an evenings worth of Bollinger, Lobster and whatever else she had swallowed. Only for us to watch it come clean out the bottom of a cylindrical bin, with no liner!
Shoes were thrown away there and then, the dress was disposed of when we got home

» How nerdy are you?

Hardly nerdy at all
after reading some of these posts, but I am a little obsessed with ww2 and I make paper models

In a paper modelling forum theres a guy I know who eats M&Ms by crushing two between his finger and thumb, he eats the broken one, and challenges the next sweet to a battle. He wrote and sent the strongest on to the manufacturer asking if they would like it, to 'breed' from, thereby making a new superstrong set of M&M's

» Tactless

Back in the early 80's
My father suffered severe burns to his hands, arms and face after an accident with a mobile fish n chip van.
Off he went to Stoke Mandeville along with many Falkland Island soldiers, bags on their hands, measuring how much fluid was being lost...
Anyhow, it was in June, on Fathers day, and the card I had showed a piece of toast, the top bit a little scorched, some wisps of smoke above it and the message on the front said To Dad...
Opening it up the message continued.. You're the Toast of the Family.
He laughed, non of the nurses did though.
