[i]did anyone else's palms regularly peel when they were a kid?[/i]
friction related?
no, younger than that particular episode.
Like, huge flaps of skin, just peeling right off. A bit like after sunburn. But only on the palms?

Mate of mine doesn't drink. The number of people astounded by this simple concept is incredible.POSTED 18 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST
I don't drink. At all. Some people struggle a bit with that. Over the years you learn how make them shut up about it politely.
I'm really not into football.
I don't covet a fancy car, even though i am an automotive engineer, I drive a beat up old T4. Looks a bit odd in a restaurant car park etc!
I don't understand how people cope not having a lathe and milling machine.
Riding a unicycle [s]on the schoolrun or to go to the shops in town[/s] - if you're going to take your transport into the shops with you, then it's far less hassle than a bike (and most people don't even seem to notice you've got it with you).
Also don't drink tea or coffee (well occasionally to be sociable, as I don't hate it, just not bothered).
Unsurprisingly I also use a bike for transport to levels other people consider abnormal, even if I'm an amateur compared to some of you (though I do always get shocked reactions when people find out I live 7 miles away after turning up at Tumble Tots with little one in a bike trailer).
- Trying to avoid using car (not sure why we have it really - oh yes, to occasionally transport bikes);
- Not having fancy TVs, Sky, all that stuff;
- Go into a panic as soon as the "Football Conversation" starts - I have no interest nor idea how to respond;
- My work colleagues (except one) think I am utterly insane as I play on bikes when I'm not in work and often fall off.
- Being convinced that next door's cat is Satan.
Its funny the amount of repetition on this thread. Would seem like the things people think are less than normal are actually fairly normal.
Expect the not drinking tea/coffee that is weird.
Fred... 😀
Not being remotely interested in all of the clebrity famous for being famous nonsene. I am quite pleased to be able to say 'who is that person' when the chat starts at work or some Z list sleb is on the telly or in the paper.

I think you'll find most people with a brain think that's normal.
