Holidays
for me always bring up a bizzare memory. My dad, being OCD, was always obsessed that the taxi driver taking us to the airport was in league with a team of crack cat burglars whom would be alerted of our extended house leave and rinse us of all our worldly goods (!).
To this end, he would always have my brother, mum and me put on an elaborate show of "saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa" as the taxi drove away. This involved screaming goodbye and waving to our non-existant (dead, actually) grandparents which, for a child of five, is somewhat disturbing.
What I still fail to understand, other than what the taxi driver must have been thinking as a family waved manically to invisible people, is why he chose to leave the feeblest, least able to protect the house people possible as our imaginary guardians?
Best part is that, one time, we got burgled anyway and they stole the TV... old people are useless :)

Speaking of Toilets...
I was in Bar 1001 in Brick Lane a few months ago when I went to the toilet to find that, not only had the urinal (one of those metal trough type ones) been blocked somehow but that some twat had, I don't know, sat in it or something so that it was all bent out of shape. This meant that piss would miss the plug entirely and simply spill out onto the floor. Aside from the terrible stench it wasn't too much of a problem as there were a few, unoccupied loos next to it that were pretty clean so I relieved myself without too much fuss (having to hold my trousers up so that no piss based osmosis occured was probably the worst of it).
It was upon leaving said cubicle that I saw three guys just stood up against the broken metal, filthy, floor covered in an inch of piss urinal happily peeing away without a care in the world. One was even standing at the point where the overflow was so his shoes got a nice golden shower.
The scary thing was that they didn't even seem that pissed...
eep.
