I have several - one is that friend of mine has a mug with a photo on it of a really unfortunate-looking family. And she has no idea who they are!

We had a portrait taken about 15 years ago with my Mum, dad, brother and I. It was a dreadful sitting and we picked the best of the pictures.. I saw it today whilst at my mums and it really made me laugh...
I look like I'm wandering past in the background... the photographer got us to say MEN for some reason and Mother has her lips together in some sort of grimice.. my dad has his head at some weird sort of angle... and my brother look vacant..
priceless...

Was chatting to my brilliant SIL the other day and she told me that our in laws (we're married to 2 brothers) had given her the weirdest gift. Laminated photo's of them all to use as placemats [vomit emoticon]. How lucky am I that I'm seperated or I suppose I'd have got a set too . I laugh everytime I think of her having to use them to avoid offending her DH.

Ha suzycreamcheese... no chance... I would be a laughing stock...

suzycreamcheese · 18/12/2006 11:36

oh, go on, we'd vote you 'photo poster of the thread' and I'd make a badge for you (er, after christmas, going away in 2 days..millions to do..
I trained in photography and saying 'men' just made me howl, i could see your mums face..its purely professional interest you see...

drummumadrumming · 18/12/2006 11:47

I've only just learnt how to change my name after being here a couple of years.. photos.... are some thing else and will probably take decades to learn!

suzycreamcheese · 18/12/2006 23:00

okay i will accept lack of technical ability as good enough reason this time as mine are pretty woeful but I keep saying 'men' in the mirror now!
even taught ds to kiss like a fish today inspired by pic never seen!

TheChristmasArmadillo · 18/12/2006 23:06

I snigger at words like 'tit' and most embarrasingly as it crops up on my course alot 'phalanx'. I also snigger at serious sex references (these crop up a lot as well).

I shouldn't I know. I'm a grown up now. But...

When I was a kid, my friend's mum had a Smash Hits sticker of Robert Smith from The Cure on her hoover. Used to crack me up.

She also had a 'work of art' given (and made) her by a friend, that was basically a pair of Yfronts pegged on a bit of line, glued on a board and the whole thing sprayed bright green until it was solid. She didn't hang it up but whenever I went round there I'd make my friend dig it out of the cupboard for me and I'd practically wet myself laughing at it.

suzycreamcheese · 19/12/2006 12:40

you make me feel ancient..friends mum w/ robert smith sticker...

3Ddonut · 19/12/2006 12:46

I was wetting myself laughing yesterday when dh reminded me about what dd had said last year:

dd: what happens if you kiss the Christmas tree?
me: you'll get a prickly face
dd: waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
me: (sniggering) did you kiss the Christmas tree?
dd: yeeeeesssssss waaaaaahhhh!!!!!!

hehehehe!!

3Ddonut · 19/12/2006 12:47

Hundreds of women glued to their pc's and ignoring their children to see how a stranger's lunchtime date went.

In balamory, in Archie's montage, he electrifies himself on one of those static ball things in a physics lab. His expression is hilarious. My 4 year old dd finds it hysterical and in turn, her cackling really makes me laugh.

p.s. are those ball things called a van der graff? me and dh been debating it for days!!

Frosty, you're dead right about the shagging senario!

lillypad · 19/12/2006 12:54

Sorry, lunchtime date!

fiiiivemadmarchhaaaares · 19/12/2006 12:54

I laugh when people fall over or slip on ice/snow. I know that I really really shouldnt so I try to stifle it as much as I can until I know they havent hurt themselves.

sunnywong · 19/12/2006 12:55

you know before you get to the main menu of a dvd or video and there's a huge disclaimer about where you can or cannot screen the movie without paying royalties?
Well I always guffaw to read the inclusion of oil rigs. Just can't imagine illegal offshore screenings to cheat the PRS or whoever

well you did ask
