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

While living in a West African country
a bloke turned up who was a bit weird to say the least. He somehow managed to wangle a job with the World Bank on a nice slary but didn't like paying rent and managed to move from place to place lokng after peoples houses while they were on annual leave (usually 2 months at a time) and there were lots of people who seemed to take up his kind offer of 'looking after' their houses and saving him the trouble of paying rent. He would usually have use of their cars and take the piss with their fridges and freezers and phone bills etc. Anyway he was very in your face and would turn up at peoples houses after having met them just once and try and sniff out the possibility of house sitting for them. People started to get wise to his ways and offers dried up after a year or so so he put up ads every where offering his services. The ad was an A4 piece of paper half of which was taken up with a pic of himself surfing, and the rest was an ad for himself and how great he was. His real name seemed a bit of a mystery until someone once found it and Googled his name. Turned out he had been arrested trying to sneak into the US President's Camp David retreat. He got the sack from the nice job he had soon after as it turned out his CV was a load of wank. Very very strange guy. Some people are just great at bullshitting, others not so.
