We have a small house but we keep our 2 bikes in the hallway, they just fit under the stairs. Some people have thought this strange but are to valuable to leave in any out buildings.

A friend of a friends house, who I had always thought of as very intellectual and straight -laced, had a large water feature in their conservatory of a peeing boy and a funny parrot on a wire hanging from the ceiling, that when switched on, spun around the room making squawking noises.

Not me but my mum/grandmother. She told me that her mother, a nurse, went into some elderly, childless neighbours’ bedroom. On the wall above the bed were two religious plaques. One said ‘Lord, I need thee every hour’ and the other said ‘God, give me strength.’ grin

A wooden loo seat used as a picture frame! ?

This was the topic on late night radio this week.

Some very funny, quirky and unusual items were found, such as the front of an old Mini Cooper behind a sofa ? in one Listener’s home.

My late Mum, who could be easily spooked, visited her sister-in-law’s home. On popping upstairs to the loo she noticed some dark brown hairy objects hanging from the ceiling of one of the bedrooms.

On enquiring what they were my Aunt said they were shrunken heads brought back from Borneo by her son. My mother almost fainted and said she was never going up there again. ?
