We had one, it was great to see how far you could get his stories to go, we called him "two *****" as everytime you did something he did it twice as big!
he got the sack for stealing things though!
Shame as he was a Falklands and Gulf veteran, could fly Spitfires, Harriers and Tornado's, was a graduate of the Russian topgun and allegedly his Russian balerina wife was hot, no one ever saw her though, he could also lap the Nurburg ring faster than Joe Winklehock!

You know what I think is a more interesting question? Does anyone have an amazing story about themselves that is TRUE but that nobody would believe because it sounds just too amazing and 'bull****ty' ?

He fukced up a contract so badly but he still wouldn't admit to it and had all the excuses under the sun.
When we asked for the project archives and final report he managed to get it stolen from his car at a service station, on the way to the handover meeting.
Oh happy days - no wonder I went freelance, I only have to deal with one dick4ead now

I've got a theory on them, they have very low self esteem and therefore lead quite sad, lonely lives so they invent stuff to make themselves more appealing to people. They end up half believing in the lies they tell about themselves and start liking the 'new' person they've become, initially other people are drawn to this interesting 'new' person which gives the liar's ego and self esteem one hell of a boost making them feel good about themselves for the probably the first time ever in their lives.
They like the feeling so much they just continue weaving their intricate web of lies but fail to see that other people are starting to suss them out. As others suss what's going on they back away from the liar thus reducing the amount of attention (and subsequent self esteem boost) that the liar gets so, in order for the liar to get the boost again he thinks he has to make himself even more interesting blah blah blah...
It's a real shame because they were probably quite nice people to start off who didn't need to lie to become popular but, through no fault of their own had low self esteem and felt that they had to become someone else to find popularity. Maybe they were like this due to never feeling that they were good enough to meet their parent's expectations of them or something along those lines...

If however, you refer to the fact I came to work, stayed round a birds house that night but FORGOT to bring a shirt for the next day I see your point.
Difference is, unlike you (ya smelly foooock) I can get away with wearing the same shirt for 2 days without smelling like Ghandi's armpit!!!

i had a mate that would lie about absolutley everything. if you started talking about the FBI, he'd say 'my uncles in the FBI' that sort of thing.
the best one where he was caught out big time was, he used to brag about his grandad being a multi millionaire who lived in spain, he obviously never expected us to meet him, that was until he moved round the corner into a little bungalow with his 12 year old renualt 19!
i never lie though, with all my money and access to casual s3x with gorgeous models, i just dont need to.

Had a mate at college that claimed that he had a suped up ford Capri (it was a while ago). I had no reason to suspect that he wasn't telling the truth, after all his parents were loaded* and he worked at a logistics company** part time to help pay for it.
Then one day myself and a friend needed to go somewhere, she suggested that John could take us in his car as it was near to where he lived. We started walking to the student carpark but saw John going the other way. 'I dont park in the student car park I park down the road'. So we walked with him. After half a mile he stood at a bus stop and said.
'I sold the capri and I bought a porsche but I left it a home today'
Turns out he didn't even have a driving licence. The fantisies didn't stop however, I just stopped listening.
Edit: Forgot to mention he took a pop at me full on in the face when he was found out, as he was a black belt in something or other, it really did the trick when I couldnt stop laughing. It was the final straw for him, he went on a world cruise. Strange as it seemed to be in the english department and on a different bus route to Sarah.
