Bullshit and BullshittersWe'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

Bullshitting the BullshittersI was 10, and starved of attention. I had two younger brothers, and the elder of the two just celebrated his 8th birthday. One of his lesser presents? Mateys Bubble Bath. Following an argument about something or nothing, I took his mateys bubble bath & poured it down the public.
2 years later, we had a "Special Homework" Assignment in school. One of the hanger ons at the school wanted us to write a piece on how we have experienced Jealousy. The best ones would get "a once in a lifetime experience"*. I wrote my piece which was based on the paragraph above. I was chosen as one of the best 5 & got the experience.
We found out that the guy was a church minister, and regularly had slots on BBC Radio 4. The programme, which was mid afternoon, was a discussion piece on the seven deadly sins. This week - Jealousy. I was driven in the school minibus to a radio station in Bangor to record this discussion that went out LIVE ON AIR.
I was asked questions on how I dealt with jealousy, why I could be so cruel etc. It was quite intense for a 10 year old. I cracked, and admitted I never felt any remose for my jealousy, as there wasn't any jealousy to begin with.
Yes, the whole story was complete & utter bullshit.
Fooled the church though.
Apologies for spelling & grammar.
* Which also was bullshit, as I've been on the radio twice since then
