This is a question Bullshit and Bullshitters

We've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.

Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

Johnanory
I have a friend we call Johnanory because of his constant fabrications. He'll spout off many ridiculous tales e.g. John Major is his father or he won a round the world cruise holiday. Most of it is harmless fantasy, but he has one annoying trait - he'll lie for no reason at all!

He's phoned me up so many times to tell me to come and play football or come to the pub:

Him: Hey mate, wanna come and play football?
Me: When? Who is playing?
Him: Just over the rec, there's 9 of us, we're here already - need 1 more to make it 5-a-side.
Me: Anyone I know?
Him: Jimmy, Mike, Dan etc
Me: See you in 5!

I get there and there's no one there, not only that but it's closed. I phone Jimmy, Mike and Dan and they know nothing about it.

WHAT IS THE POINT?

It's like he has at least one lie he needs to fulfil every day or he'll die.

Yes!
His usual response is to shrug his shoulders, say 'dunno' then 'wanna go to the pub?'

Hmmmm
I think you really mean the 'rec' - an abbreviation for Recreation Ground ?
