Weird crap in your home......

Ghost Buster · 11-11-2015 12:31pm #1

..... which you have become accustomed to.
I live in an old old cottage with metre thick walls and so deeply recessed windows. I was evicting dust bunnies and spiders from one such window this morning and came across an Avent Breast Milk pot (used on breast pumps) containing a bit of my cremated father in law. We have been meaning to scatter him in the back garden for the last few years. Kinda forgot.......
You?

You poured your fathers ashes in to a breast milk bottle? You stay classy, Ghost Buster!

My Dad is in a tin we bought in Tiger, well some of him is.

We also have a picture of Elvis in our bathroom.

Well, 95% of my FATHER IN LAW went to his home town in England in a a nice urn, This is possibly just a toe or something.

Nothing unusual in mine at all. Average everyday stuff.

Actually, scratch that - I really don't need to know.

Like a sh1tting bucket in your sitting room, multiple style tiles, a picture of your brothers Brazilian missus and a weeping chair?

Mesrine65 · 11-11-2015 1:51pm

A huge old ships wheel covered in brass...

It arrived home with me after a massive booze bender about twenty years ago, still no idea where it came from

If you call a Sherry Cabinet an everyday thing.

When I saw the thread title, I thought you had inspired this.

I'm sure that I've loads of stuff in this category, most of it from when my house was the family home. (The family are still all around; I just bought the house when they moved).

If there were things hanging on the wall, they're probably still there unless they fell off for some reason and I couldn't think of a reason for putting them back up. We used to have an antler (just one) sitting on a mantle-piece for no particular reason. It's not as if my father ever went deer-hunting.

And nothing to do with the antler, but there a poster for Disney's Bambi still on the inside of the door of a built-in wardrobe in my sister's old bedroom.

I just remembered I have a life size mini me dressed in a space suit. He's in the attic though. I might put a beard and hat on him and make him a Christmas decoration of sorts.

JulianSNZ · 11-11-2015 1:59pm

I have a human skull. Found it in the bog.

Samaris · 11-11-2015 2:10pm

Swords, spears, a small wooden duck with a rifle whoooo is currently aiming at Chewbacca by the looks of it. And a large Buddha in the fireplace.

Medusa22 · 11-11-2015 4:00pm

We have a picture of Pope John Paul II praying in our bathroom and we stuck an empty loo roll in between his hands, like he's praying for toilet paper, as it is our ultimate fear that we'll run out of it.

We also have a penis calendar that we got from Pompeii when we were on our honeymoon and a penis milk jug/mug. I tend to forget that we have these things in our apartment until my grandparents are coming over or someone points something out and asks what the hell it is :pac:

Oh. We have one of those in a tea chest in a loft.
Again the fault of me father in law. He was in Burma during the war and brought it home. Kinda fitting that as he kept a bit of one dead guy we should keep a bit of him..

Why was Pope John Paul II praying in your bathroom? Was it for Elvis to hurry up?

He sounds like the kind guy who'd announce "A luck rabbit's foot? pffft, check out this toe that I got made in to a keyring after the war back in..." and proceed on a rant like Abe Simpson.

Weird crap in the house?

Forget number 2's.

My dogn has realised no 3's is where it's at.

Samaris · 11-11-2015 4:35pm

Colour me impressed. Now, if he can get a 4 going, you know he's trying to communicate.

Duggy747 · 11-11-2015 4:58pm

Also, a box of matches that double up as a gaming console :pac:

I also live in one of those meter thick walled cottages & it's in a Graveyard complete with abandoned Church!

Not much weird stuff in the house, but there's a Clown Bicycle which once belonged to a Russian Circus dating from the 1920's...and though it don't count as accumulated stuff...there's the grave of a British MP (1911) not 10 feet from my bedroom window !

Oh. We could have a "Weird house off" here!, ours is 150 years old and tha last house standing in what was almost a wee village. We have the ruins of 5 similar cottages in our back garden.

fleet_admiral · 11-11-2015 6:16pm

I still have a bit of one of them foil garland things hanging from the ceiling in the sitting room since last xmas.
Going to put up the decorations in the next week or so so it will fit in nicely:o

What a good idea!
This old place is at least 450 years old with a history & it's 'mad' haunted (seriously)
When I go outside at night I can 'chat' with that old dead MP, many deceased Medicos, A squadron of Crimean War Cavalry Officers, long dead Professors, Clergymen, etc.
