It's not just because of the music but couple that with the conchology, the growing cacti, the sci-fi watching, the lack of interest in clothes.... It has to be admitted that combining cactus growing with nudism is a little unusual. |

Are you also an eccentric to your family ?
To put it mildly! |

I missed out Astronomy as well! (should have said trendy clothes in my initial posting shouldn't I?)

If only I could find the complete transcripts of "Yes, Minister." online.
Wasn't there something about:
"It's like one of those English irregular verbs, Minister. I'm an independent thinker, you're eccentric, and he's potty!"

Absolutely, Kitty. The whole point about a true eccentric lies in his blissful unawareness of the condition. Eccentricity is in the eye of the beholder, not the subject. Anything else is just attention seeking. |

I'm all for eccentricity (except when Scottish Power ask me for a meter reading  ). I very much agree with your ethos of wanting to be different from 'normal', Lord B. (What with an areciation of Janine Jansen having just caught me unawares in the last fortnight I am in danger of beginning to understand you....) My family are all bonkers, so they don't really think of me as eccentric, but I do get pointed out as the odd one at work, by friends, etc. Wibble Tommo |

I'm considered rather eccentric because of my refusal to drive, my dislike of entertaining and parties, my mad crazes for things. However, my son says I'm not very eccentric, and certainly not compared with my brother, the original eccentric professor. Our parents were quite normal!
I think eccentricity is a good thing on the whole.
