Things you were told- and you knew straight away it was bull

A family from Wales move into my estate when I was in national school and they had a son same age so we used to pal around. Even at a young age he was full of sh!t.

He used to tell me that at age 8 he was picked for the U18 International Cricket team but gave it up cos he was picked for the football International team.

He was also a world champion motor cross champion or something, yet he wasnt hectic on a bicycle going into school

"Oasis were good at Slane"

My Dad is a compulsive liar. Absolutely no reason to be lying as he's had an interesting life (stuff verified by others!).

After years of believing what I was told as a kid I came to the realisation that pretty much any "story" he goes on with is BS. Pretty embarassing as a kid trying to convince your friends not to wear their seatbelts because my Dad told me not wearing his was the only thing that saved his life in the "Rally Crash" he was in. :rolleyes:

Anyways not long after I realised the truth my Dad went to Germany on holiday and on his return regaled a group of us (some of his own friends included) about how he was mistaken for German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and was escorted into a meeting with high level German politicians.

Apart from being roughly the same height and weight, there is no resemblance to speak of.

Being angry with him for the years of embarassment I shouted "Bull****!" at him and burst out laughing.

He still brings it up as "now everyone thinks it's not true!". Eh, it's not Dad.

That reading this thread was worthwhile :pac:

My boss (who is a compulsive liar) told me bout the time she was round at a dinner party when the oven stopped working and she came to the rescue (the common theme in most of her stories!!)
She said that she took the salmon, wrapped it in a few layers of tin foil and cooked it in the dishwasher, so apparently she ran it once or twice ,........ and then she steamed the veg in it also!!!!

TOTAL BULL!!!

Actually this CAN be done! Whether your employer did it is another matter entirely mind you...

That a Catholic Priest can literally turn a round wafer and ordinary household wine into the body and Blood of our lord Jesus Christ even though it still tastes like ordinary wafer and wine.

When was the last time you ate a deity and drank his/her blood to know thats not how it should taste???

Apperantly when they crucified Jesus, they had intended to dip him in a chocolate fondue fountain on that big wooden stick, or maybe barbaque him. Because everyone knew how tasty deitys are. When they couldn't decide how to serve him they doused him in vinegar and wrapped him up for later.

True story...

...ask Gordon Ramsey!;)

In secondary school there was a compulsive liar in my class. Here are some of the tales he told...

• He owned 2 formula one race cars and was once in a collision at 160mph and broke every bone in his body;
• He played in a band and gigged extensively around Dublin. He once brought in a tape of songs he claimed were his band but were actually by Irish band Blink and recorded off Phantom FM;
• He was involved in a fight on a Nightlink bus and with his bare hands ripped one of the bolted down hand rails from the roof of the bus and beat up the other guy;
• He once showed up to school with tiny scratches on his arm, kinda damage a kitten might so and he told us he was in an underground goth nightclub somewhere in Dublin and someone spiked his drink with LSD, cocaine, heroine etc and he imagined a creature was climbing up his arm so he smashed a beer bottle and gouged this monster off himself;
• Another day he was telling us some long winded story about an F1 race he was in and at the end of it our teacher says "that was the plot in the film ...(can't remember the title)"
• He was in New York and was drinking in a bar. I asked him how he did this as we were only 16/17 at the time and legal drinking age there is 21. He told me there is a bye-law that if you are Irish and are in an Irish pub in NY you can still drink.

He was clearly C.I.A and was telling you this stuff to throw you off.
Don't blow his cover.:cool:
