worst record ever
where to begin? so many to choose from...so little time!
In the late 70's, I found a double album called "All This And World War TOO!", which was a compilation of Beatles covers performed by the cream of 70's recording artists (he said in a sarcastic tone of voice).
The one track that stands out is "I Am The Walrus", by Leo Sayer...THE IMMORTAL LEO SAYER!
To this day, I can still recall the sound of it, although the record is long gone into the mists of Time (I threw it away in the 80's).
I don't know if this was available in England, but it plagued the states (even Hawaii, where I bought it) for around a year. I think it was a soundtrack for a movie of WW2 clips, strung together by aforementioned bad renditions. Anyone else ever hearit, or hear of it?
Cheers!

malicious kitten
Only last month my wife adopted a tiny kitten she'd found behind the building she works in...it had been abandoned by it's mother, apparently. She brought it home and washed it (it smelled really bad!), then left me to dry it with a tea towel while she cleaned the sink she'd washed the kitten in. Feeling kindly towards the poor abandoned kitten, I held it close to my face so it could become better acquainted with one of it's benefactors...not a good idea. Kitten sprang forward and bit my nose, then clawed same nose with Kung Fu Grip, so as to gain better hold for a second, much more painful bite. It hadn't occurred to me that seeing a giant ogre-ish face that close could be scary to a kitten; after all, I love kittens. Just not this one so much, lately. We're getting on better now though.

vomit inducing local delicacies
We here in Hawaii have a delicacy called "poi", which is made of beaten and mashed up taro root, and is incredibly vile. It has a gluey consistency, and a color thats sort of purplish brown, with greenish grey overtones. Local custom dictates that newcomers must be made to try it, under pain of ostracization and being thought unsympathetic to local culture, which supposedly is greatly superior to all other cultures, simply because we have nice weather most of the time. DO NOT ever under any circumstances try this stuff...it makes English cuisine look positively wonderful by comparison (i KNOW, b3tA is a British Thing, but still...).
Also, SPAM is considered a great delicacy hereabouts. One of the funniest things I've ever seen was a note stuck to the refrigerator door of one of my cronies, which read: "Honey, don't eat the Spam Casserole...we're having company for dinner". I've declined every invitation to eat there since.
ETA: My Irish grandparents used to try to make me eat all sorts of dreck, like the ever popular Bangers and Mash or "Bombers and Trash" as my siblings and I used to call it. Not for me thanks!
