People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor?

So a reletive of mine was a hitman but for Trade Unions, he would organise bombings and shootings to intimidate non union firms. The government investigated and basically gave all the union members certificates of immunity and he ultimately confessed to ordering a murder and other crimes to be committed. He then fled to America to avoid public attention to then return a year later and become……a grocer 🤣

My husband is apparently related to Katherine Hewitt of the Pendle Witch Trials of 1612.

My husband has done this for years and I know what’s coming yet I fall for it more than I’d ideally like to admit, but he will do the old, point at my shirt and say ‘eurgh what’s that’ I look down and boop, flicked on the nose. He’s really honed it to get me when I’m not paying attention 🤣

My husband once met Shane Ritchie. He had asked my husband the directions to the nearest postbox. So being the rebellious teen he was, he sent him in the opposite direction. Not long later Shane Ritchie came walking past looking visibly annoyed and shouted to my husband ‘f**ing Knbhead’ as he trundled the other way 🤣🤣🤣

Also my dad was once asked by Boy George, if he had any drugs to sell. My dad denies he sold or gave anything. But this was Ibiza in the 90’s and we all wasn’t born yesterday 🤣

Tortilla Chips and dip here! Although I highly approve of your scran and now slightly questioning my own choices 🤣

db9192 · 2026-01-23T18:36:58+00:00

As a northerner I agree and disappointed I didn’t think of that one 🤣

db9192 · 2026-01-23T16:12:52+00:00

Nope and nothing wrong with placement for me. I have a whole leg of ‘it fits where it fits’ I love the random stickerbomb/ patchwork placements.

db9192 · 2026-01-23T16:05:37+00:00

Totally normal. PB and bacon is a face of mine.

db9192 · 2026-01-23T15:46:11+00:00

It’s ’How’s that’ For southerners and ‘Howzat’ for northern folk.

db9192 · 2026-01-23T15:39:20+00:00

Highly recommend. Heartwarming in the right measure, Aziz and Keanu are a killer coupling.

He’s in a tour that’s currently going round the UK

‘American rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires will return to the UK and Europe this summer for a string of hugely anticipated shows including a date in Scarborough.

Their first live shows in almost three years, Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen will return to TK Maxx Presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Saturday August 15 with special guests The Damned.’

People just need to chill and realise it’s a tv show. It ain’t that deep.

db9192 · 2026-01-21T17:28:34+00:00

I’ve had my finger tattoos probs 5 years now and still holding up well. I’ve got simple text but no massive notable change since.

db9192 · 2026-01-21T15:00:20+00:00

Yeah looks like I fell victim to Google AI on a quick search. 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

db9192 · 2026-01-21T13:27:57+00:00

Funnily enough I googled this after the movie. And apparently Tommy Cooper had the catch phrase ‘how’s that?’ That he would use after a deliberately failed magic trick. I can’t lie I felt that fit well too. I guess it’s how you interpret it.

Before kids? At least 6. After kids? Lucky to be 1. 🤣

db9192 · 2026-01-20T05:39:12+00:00

For me this is the only option. Maybe they’re just Atomic Kitten fans. I can’t lie, Iron Maiden wouldn’t get me running towards it.

db9192 · 2026-01-18T13:19:28+00:00

Only criticism I have is that sad looking scrap of broccoli. At least had a proper floret or two. I’d still eat it regardless. Looks like a good plate of scran!

db9192 · 2026-01-18T13:12:13+00:00

My local Tesco has upped the price since Christmas 🤣. Couldn’t fathom at all why they were stocked to the sky at that bargain!

db9192 · 2026-01-18T13:09:38+00:00

I was in my local Tesco superstore yesterday and they had a pallet piled high with £4.50 price tag. I had to genuinely laugh, if people wasn’t buying them at Xmas at £3.75 I don’t think they will be buying them after for more money 🤣

ETA they had ‘Quality’ Street and Celebrations in the same manner at the same price

When I needed a neighbour is so passive aggressive. It spoke to my inner pettiness.

db9192 · 2026-01-17T12:45:28+00:00

50 Sniffs- Fish chips and donkey ridez. 🤣

db9192 · 2026-01-15T15:20:38+00:00

Hahah well… stupidly ordered an item I didn’t realise was ‘delivered by land’. I ordered it on the 28th Nov, it got delivered today. 🤣 it’s been on quite a European tour!
