This is a question Faking it

Rakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."

So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

faking enjoyment of this holiday
I am currently stuck in a traffic jam on Norn Irn's 2-lane 'motorway' in my parent's camper van in which I am spending the next 4 days. With my parents. And their shitty little dogs. And much as I love my family, I live in a different country from them for a reason.

Tomorrow we'll hit the border and I'll no longer have Interweb access on my phone. My mum is trying to feed me egg and onion sandwiches, one of the dogs has just farted, my dad is giving me a running commentary on the roadsigns, I've reverted to the grunting communication techniques of a 15 year old and I've run out of Valium.

I envy Maddy.

Get thee to a train station
and come to Dublin - I'll buy you a beer.

Egg and onion sandwiches
Christ.

I suppose that, at 32, you're a bit too old to qualify for the protection of social services... But maybe they'll make an exception for this horrible situation...

egg and onion sandwiches
are a Norn Irn delicacy, but only on certain occasions, e.g. ceilidhs, funerals and school sports days.

@baz. The temptation is great but I dear I must put in the time it the bosom of my family. Soon we'll be in the bungalow-y delights of Donegal.

NI delicacies, eh?
I learned all I needed about NI culinary culture from this...

Not long ago I moved nearer my family.
For Christ's sake, what was I thinking.

You have my sympathies
Yep, camper van, flatulent hounds, parents on a different wavelength...

Could be worse, you could run out of valium.

Oh well
On the plus side, you made me laugh.

I hope you packed your tasteful slippers.
