Did you ever see Rosemary's Baby?

Aa a famous writer once said 'All my children are Adapted' - except he didn't, I just made that up as I'm pretending to be Stephen Fry for the day. Time to put on a red scarf, make a cup of Twinnings and talk about not bumming young men.

As for embarrassing family moments, I hate flying anywhere with mine, it's just a cringefest from beginning to end.

Rosemary's Baby!

When I was little mom made a shrunken head thing based on Rosemary's Baby. I glued on the hair and pushed the eyes in. Then we made a tiny cradle for it. It turned out great

Is your mom Morticia Addams?

My parents are...strange. Mum is an obsessive clean-freak, which scares my friends no end, and dad makes rude, misplaced jokes, while wandering around in shorts in all weathers. He's also terrified people by showing up at the house while still in his running gear, which at least used to be comprised of Lycra.

And my brother? If any of you had the misfortune to speak to him while he was here, you'd know that he's totally off his nut, walks around the house shirtless, and is crazy about his hair being absolutely perfect.

When my girls were very ickle, I always used to get a laugh out of them by doing my Papa Lazarou impersonation. "Hey, Dave?" and "You're my wife now!" used to have them in fits of giggles. Now they are ten, whenever I do it they give me odd looks - especially when I do it in public. (I assume once they actually see the LOG they'll understand and start laughing again?)

Andy used to do that, without knowing the context ,all the time! !

I sometimes did the school run in pj's, other stuff too, but was never a Cowboy.

I've got a friend like that.

At least you don't have to live with them, or share their genes.

No, but he is wanting to 'mix our genes' if you get my meaning...

Is his name Robert?

Got it in one!!! How'd you guess?

I am some kind of mind reading genius.

Can you read his mind please and tell me exactly whats going on... if anything...

*does so*

Absolutely blank I'm afraid. No activity.

Perfect!
