Painful Relatives

[1ozzy]

Got any?

I have a brother in law who would land first prize, with ease, for the "Grumpiest Old Sod Of The Year" award.

A father in law would take the "Ramble On Inanely" award.

A sister would take the "I'm So Precious And So Are My Children" award.

Oh well, that's life.

[ummmm]

My grandad, sadly passed a few years ago, was a very bad tempered angry man. He used to get so angry that it was funny. None of us paid heed to him because we were used to it....but outsiders were often left speechless.

My sister is a gossip. She's one of those 'I don't judge people and I don't talk behind their back but.....'

My family are pretty cool. The only time they make me cringe is when they eat. Gannets...

[1ozzy]

I've never met my Grandparents or cousins. I've met 2 Aunties and Uncles (inlaw) briefly about 20 years ago.
Overall my family is ok, although my sister and I haven't spoken in a very long time.
My father inlaws' "new" wife" is referred to as the Hyena by all, except him of course. Not overly loved.

[ummmm]

I have a massive family. My dad is 1 of 13 and my mum is 1 of 5, and now all the cousins are breeding :-)

[1ozzy]

My family tree was fairly large, mum had 8 siblings, alas she is the sole survivor and dad had 6, one still alive.

One of my cousins is supposedly an artist over there who is doing quite well exhibiting and selling his work. I'll try and find a link to post if you are interested.

[ummmm]

Of course I'd be interested :-)

[ummmm]

My nan is/was a twin, so that fact kept the wider family in touch.

[1ozzy]

You're a darling Ummmm, some one to chat to on a Sunday arvo :-).
He is my mums sisters offspring.
If you click on the links on the left of this page you will see a variety of his work.
I've never met him, maybe I should send him an invoice for "promotional work" ;-).

I've a pair of nephews on my wifes' side of the family who are twins. Even though they are not identical twins it took me years to remember which was which.

[ummmm]

I like them.

With art, the same as I feel with people, I don't like perfection.

[1ozzy]

Don't think I've ever met someone who is perfect. Met plenty that think they are and try to be. Pains in the ass. ;-)

Hasn't everyone lozzy ;0)

[1ozzy]

Most probably Elina, tell me about yours :-).

[Elina]

Ooh, I dare not lozzy ;0)

[1ozzy]

Go on, be brave Elina, promise I won't tell ;-)

[Elina]

My lips are sealed lozzy.

I have a sister in law shes on her own now at 50+ and cant even change a light bulb - how do you get to that age with no life basics. Reading some of the comments below I keep thinking I hear banjos.......

[Sqad]

1ozzy......perhaps some of your relatives would describe YOU as a "pain in the @rse.

[1ozzy]

I have no doubt they would Sqad.

Wrong country for banjos Ukbod ;-)

[Sqad]

[Elina]

Dueling banjos may be?
