I really like the stupid amnesty actually. I think I'm gonna clip it for the sound vault.

Mine is: when I was a kid my uncle told me that mouth ulcers were called 'chatterbox spots' and were caused by talking too much. I believed that for quite a while.

My sister used to think there was a cloud that brought the night. She called it the nightcloud.

The first time I heard her talk of it, she was in her early 30s and absolutely serious.

Please do, I was laughing my nadgers off. If you don't, let me know and I'll do it.

Cheers ears.

My stupid one was I thought radio stations had to rush bands in and out of the studio all day as the music was being played live. I was a child, of course. I stopped believing that by ooh, 16, 17.

Yep, the opening link to yesterday's show was the best in a while and was laughing in work listening to it. Love the musical tastes feature as well and so glad that Chris hated The Fugees. Was played out back then like some songs today.

Bit of a niche one but a show called Winning Streak, they had a round called Spuds in Space and one time I said to the family while watching, "They look like potatoes!" Felt like such an idiot afterwards. Was in my teens then.

I have 2

1: I used to think that in every pack of 6 eggs you buy in a supermarket, there was always one that came preboiled because every time I went to the fridge to get one, it would most of the time be hard instead of runny, I only found it was all runny when my mum bought a pack of 6 and I wanted a boiled egg so I broke all 6 and to my suprise found they were all runny.

Turns out that my mum always boiled one the night before and placed it back in the fridge for me to eat ¬_¬

2: I used to think the reason why men made "noises" at the point of climax was because sperm wasn't tiny and millions but because there was only 1 sperm and it was about 6 to twelve inches long and it coming from such a small point of a man's appendage would obviously be painful...needless to say it put me off the idea for sex for a very long time because I wondered why anyone would want to do that to themselves.

That one was on the show this morning - was it you that texted that in or did a lot of people think that? It never even occured to me that anyone would think that!

Another one of mine is that when I was about five and remote controls first became widely available, my uncle, who has always been first to buy any new gadgets, had one and, with it hidden down the side of the sofa, told me that he was changing the channel using his finger. I remember not being quite convinced by it, but I couldn't figure out how else it could be happening. It may be obvious at this point that my mum's brothers are all wind-up merchants.

Yeah this week has been particularly entertaining. I love how so much of the show is just natural. I'm looking forward to Zane on 'Love Hate Track'.

I used to think something similar when I was younger, however with American TV, because their programmes over here always used to look quite blurry & overly orange I thought that if you went to America that everyone would be blurry & orange, thankfully I knew better by the time I was 8

Best one I've heard of recent though, a friend of mine at work didn't realise that the Eurostar tunnels run under the English Channel, she thought there was special tunnels that ran in the English Channel itself. The same girl also asked if she'd need her passport to go over the QEII bridge between Essex & Kent :lol: She's a sweet girl but not that bright at all unfortunately :)

No in all honesty it wasn't me, she's a really sweet, beautiful girl from Dagenham, unfortunately intelligence wise she's your typical thick Dagenhamite. :lol:

Wasn't me this morning, only caught some of them before heading off to work so wasn't aware it had been mentioned previously.
I must've been about 8 or 9 when I asked my wee granny what it was like living when everything was black and white, she seemed as bewildered by my thinkings as your good self.

Can't believe you were fooled by the ol' remote control trick, what an eejit ;-)

Never mind America, that would also be a Saturday night out in my town, no end to the blurred and orangeness on show 8O

My stepsister thought clay pigeon shooting was shooting pigeons with clay.
My sister thought BNP stood for Black National Party.
My sister asked my mum and Steve once if they were going to the pub on Friday night. They replied 'is the Pope a Catholic?', to which her response was 'I dunno'.

Mine- when asked on a form to write down the name as someone to be my referee, I racked my brain forages until I remembered that my friends dad sometimes officiated local football games!! Haha what a fool!

Ok, so now that's your sister dealt with - but I know for a fact you have a LONG list of these from Cat.....!

I know and I was going to start a Twitter account for them and everything, but I can't for the life of me remember them!

In my defence I was five and nobody else I knew had a remote yet, and even then I wasn't 100% convinced, I just couldn't figure out how else it could be happening :)

No defence required your honour, I was only poking fun to cover up my own failings with the black and white senario :(

Found one of my wife's gadgets hidden down the side of the sofa, tried for ages to get it to change the TV channel but its batteries must've been low as it kept giving out a weird warning vibration.
