Oooh. Just remembered another one.I once had a sort of blind date - friend of mine had a new girlfriend, and we met for a drink and his new GF bought a friend along.
I told the other girl all sorts of lies about who I was, to my friends' silent but huge amusement, including the fact that I was the drummer from Simple Minds (Mel Gaynor is black, which I'm not).
Well, it turned out to be a successful strategy at the time, without putting too fine a point on it.
She did find out shortly afterwards, and was a bit pissed off with me . . .
