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

Bullshit ReedAt school we had a teacher, well, that might be stretching it a bit too far; we actually had an hour of bullshit fed to us once a week under the guise of "woodwork" by a bearded twat.
We'll call him Mr. Reed, as this was his name.
On one occassion, having served in the Navy (he hadn't), a large gas cylinder weighing around 2 tonnes, aparently, was about to explode and no-one knew what to do, so despite the fact he was bare chested at the time and the cylinder was white hot, he picked it up and threw it overboard saving the entire crew.
He also taught Paul Daniels how to perform magic, and invented many tricks just for his show. In actual fact, he WAS a magician of sorts. He used to play the holiday camps at weekends, so that one had an air of belivability about it.
He also designed the Audi Quattro (and built the first 'prototype').
It still astounds me that he thought any of us kids would believe him. Even at that age (around 14) we realised that if half of what he said was true, he wouldn't be in some rural comprehensive teaching us twats.
Of course, he was imaginatively known as "Bullshit Reed".
